Abstract

Tasikmalaya Regency is one of the districts that has collaborative governance problems in child protection. One of these problems is the lack of synergy between stakeholders. This problem is clearly seen when the Regional Indonesian Child Protection Commission and related agencies carry out monitoring programs for the implementation of the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights, they often carry out their own activities, without intensive coordination and communication. The absence of formal cooperation and collaboration in the supervision program for the implementation of the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights among agencies in Tasikmalaya Regency made this program stagnant. This is worsened by the absence of the involvement of various stakeholders, both government and non-government institutions as well as the community in the monitoring program for the implementation of the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights. Responding to this, the present study tries to formulate an issue related to how collaborative governance contributes to protecting children in Tasikmalaya Regency.

The purpose of this research is to find out how collaborative governance contributes to protecting children in Tasikmalaya Regency. To reach this goal, a qualitative approach with a case study method was applied. Data collection techniques were carried out through literature study, observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Whereas, data analysis technique was performed in several stages, namely data reduction, data display, and drawing inference/conclusion.

The results show that collaborative governance involves in child protection in Tasikmalaya Regency has not fulfilled its essential dimensions, initial conditions, facilitative leadership, institutional design, and collaborative governance processes. Furthermore, this collaborative governance consists of several aspects such as the balance of human resources in collaborating, not conducting consistent deliberations, not setting clear collaboration rules, not conducting consistent dialogue with stakeholders, the absence of collaboration incentives, not managing orderly administration in collaborating, no collaboration procedure, and no inter-institutional network, especially with outside parties.
