We examine the role of the North Aceh Government in implementing the Law on the Governing of Aceh (LoGA) as a legal structure in development policy. As a symbol of peace, the LoGA is a reference for accelerating development to alleviate poverty, including North Aceh as a conflict region. However, until now, the area remains the poorest in the province of Aceh. This research used descriptive qualitative methods, evaluating the local government’s performance as policymakers based on the Law by reconstructing policy theory (Easton) and legal system (Friedman). Our findings indicated that the local government needed help implementing LoGA to form development policies to solve poverty. This research suggested the importance of providing legal certainty in the distribution of authority, capacity building, and strengthening of political will for local government conducting its role.

“…consistent policy choice used by the government in the reform era since the implementation of a new approach to Papua (Smith, 2020). The choice of special autonomy for Papua began to be a discourse since President Habibie started the reform era in 1999 (Zamjani, 2022), but it was only two years later that it was determined to be a legal political policy (Crawley & Hagen-Zanker, 2019), namely with the issuance of the Papua Special Autonomy Law during the reign of President Megawati Soekarno Putri (Abdurahman & Dewansyah, 2019).…”

The Central Government's policy for Papua has been periodically carried out since the integration of Papua until the enactment of Law No. 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Papua Province. However, since the 20th anniversary of the implementation of Law Number 2 of 2021, the second amendment to Law Number 21 of 2001 concerning Special Autonomy for the Papua Province, has so far not had a significant impact on development in Papua. The purpose of the research in this paper is to find out and analyze how legal political policies are to resolve conflicts. The research method that will be used in this study is a qualitative method, namely describing the facts with primary secondary and tertiary legal materials. This is caused by the various roots of the Papuan conflict that have not been resolved until now. Various policies under the Papua Special Autonomy Law and regulations in the form of Presidential Instructions, Presidential Regulations, Perdasi, Perdasus and sectoral regulations were issued using the Welfare Approach and the Security Approach model. However, it still does not have an impact, especially for the Indigenous Papuans (OAP) and does not reduce violent conflicts in the Land of Papua. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze how legal political policies are in resolving the Papuan conflict. The research method that will be used in this study is a qualitative method with a normative type of research. The theory used in this study is the Theory of the Rule of Law, Theory of L.M. Friedman and the Theory of Justice. The result of the research is that the various policies of the Central Government for Papua in resolving the Papuan conflict have not been able to resolve the conflict in Papua. So one of the legal political policies that must be carried out is Peaceful Dialogue through negotiations. The product of the negotiations between the parties is a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as an agreement to end the conflict completely in the Land of Papua.

“…The Indonesian government was required to issue a new law, Law Number 11 of 2006, concerning the Aceh government (LoGA), to facilitate the support of the Special Autonomy Fund for Aceh for 20 years, aimed at accelerating post-conflict regional development [4,5]. Special autonomy is a form of asymmetric decentralization policy the central government grants to maintain peace [6,7].…”

Uncovering the Challenges of Sustainable Development in North Aceh: A Policy Analysis of Special Transfer Funds

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study evaluates the management of two special funds in North Aceh, Indonesia, to promote sustainable development goals (SDGs) after a protracted conflict that brought the region to the brink of poverty and suffering. The special autonomy fund and the revenue-sharing funds for oil and gas are forms of fiscal decentralization provided by the central government to help Aceh recover from the conflict’s effects and natural disasters. Despite receiving these funds for over 13 years, Aceh remains among the poorest regions in Indonesia. This study used policy analyzing process theory to evaluate the management of these funds at the district level, specifically in North Aceh. A qualitative descriptive method that combines semi-structured interviews, field observations, and government documents, were used in this research. We revealed that the policy of managing these special funds has yet to achieve SDGs, particularly in North Aceh. The underutilization of revenue-sharing funds, the limited allocation of districts’ special autonomy funds, and the emphasis on infrastructure development as a priority have hindered progress and well-being, resulting in persistent poverty, unemployment, and continued dependence on transfer funds.
