Implementasi Program Hibah Daerah di Kabupaten Rokan Hulu Berdasarkan Peraturan Bupati Rokan Hulu Nomor 36 Tahun 2022

Abstract

The Regional Grant Program is a local government policy aimed at supporting communities, places of worship, religious organizations, and underprivileged students in meeting social, religious, development, and educational needs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Regional Grant Program in Rokan Hulu Regency and identify factors supporting and hindering its implementation. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Informants consisted of program implementers and grant recipients selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, comprising data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the program has been implemented in accordance with Rokan Hulu Regent Regulation Number 36 of 2022 and is supported by communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structures. The program has reached its target groups and provided benefits for students’ educational needs, the construction and renovation of places of worship, and socio-religious activities. However, implementation remains suboptimal due to budget constraints, uneven understanding of the ECBD system, limited administrative capacity among some recipients, time constraints, and bureaucratic complexity. Supporting factors include effective communication, implementer responsiveness, adequate human resources, and clear procedures, while hindering factors include budget limitations, uneven information dissemination, community capacity, and bureaucratic complexity.
