Efektivitas Badan Kesbangpol Ciamis Dalam Penggunaan Dana Bantuan Untuk Partai Politik di Kabupaten Ciamis

Abstract

This research is motivated by the suboptimal effectiveness of the Ciamis Kesbangpol Agency in utilizing financial aid funds for political parties in Ciamis Regency. The main issues include the absence of a digital system for administration and reporting, limited funding that affects the achievement of political education goals and party secretariat operations, and weak oversight mechanisms. This study employs a qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving six informants from Kesbangpol officials and political party representatives. The findings show that out of eight effectiveness indicators, only three are functioning well, while the remaining five are still suboptimal. The obstacles identified include budget limitations, a centralized monitoring system, lack of digital infrastructure, inadequate work facilities, and insufficient socialization efforts. Efforts to address these issues include cross-sector collaboration, proposals for digital systems, facility improvements, periodic evaluations, and encouraging youth participation. Therefore, the effectiveness of the financial aid fund utilization by Kesbangpol Ciamis remains less than optimal, although various improvement efforts have been initiated for better performance in the future.
