Implementasi Kebijakan Ketahanan Pangan di Dinas Ketahanan Pangan Kolaka Utara (Studi Implementasi Model Grindle)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of food security policy at the Food
Security Office of North Kolaka Regency using Grindle’s policy implementation
model. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through in-depth interviews
and document analysis. The findings reveal that the policy content has been clearly
formulated in terms of objectives, target groups, benefits, activities, resources, and
expected changes. However, limitations in human resources, budget allocation, and
supporting infrastructure reduce policy effectiveness. From the implementation
context perspective, multi-level actors are involved, but differences in interests, local
political dynamics, and socio-economic conditions influence program distribution.
Although positive changes have emerged in priority villages—such as increased
household food production and income diversification—the implementation has not
yet been evenly distributed. Strengthening institutional coordination, increasing
budget support, and enhancing community empowerment are necessary to improve
sustainable food security governance at the local level.
