Evaluating the Implementation of Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 07 Of 2019 on Oil Palm Rejuvenation in Way Kanan Regency: Communication, Resource Management, and Policy Effectiveness

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of Ministry of Agriculture Regulation No. 07 of 2019 concerning oil palm rejuvenation in Way Kanan Regency, focusing on communication effectiveness, resource management, and the overall success of the policy. The research identifies key challenges in communication, including inconsistent and limited outreach, which have hindered the policy's impact. Resource management issues are highlighted, particularly the shortage of trained extension workers and inadequate infrastructure, which have affected the program's effectiveness. Despite these challenges, the positive disposition of the implementation team and the established bureaucratic structure have contributed to some success in policy execution. The study underscores the need for improved communication strategies, enhanced resource allocation, and increased funding to address these issues and optimize policy implementation. The findings suggest that addressing these areas will be crucial for achieving the policy's objectives and ensuring its benefits reach the intended beneficiaries.
