Collaborative Governance in Child Marriage Prevention Program in Central Mamuju District

Abstract

This study aims to analyze collaborative governance in preventing child marriage in Central Mamuju Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method. Data collection methods include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data sources consist of primary and secondary data. Data analysis uses interactive data analysis methods. The results of the study indicate that there is an imbalance in power and resources used. There is no special budget for the child marriage program, in terms of collaboration in the past it went well. The local government should give special attention in the form of policy and budget support. The organizational design shows that the majority of stakeholders have participated and the deliberations or meetings held so far are inclusive, ideally the Ministry of Religion as a vertical institution should participate more actively with the local government and other stakeholders. Facilitative leadership shows the P3AP2KB Service as the leading sector because of its role and task domain for preventing child marriage. The P3AP2KB Service should encourage more participation of non-governmental organizations or institutions such as NGOs and empowerment groups to contribute to suppressing the prevention of child marriage. The collaboration process must improve the face process to face dialogue and increase commitment in the form of concrete programs that specifically suppress and prevent child marriage. And child marriage can have an impact on increasing poverty, stunting, reproductive health risks, maternal and child mortality, divorce and domestic violence.
