E- Evaluating the Challenges and Outcomes of E-Monep Policy Implementation in North Gorontalo's Regional Secretariat Regency

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the e-Monep policy at the Regional Secretariat of North Gorontalo Regency. The method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The results show that the implementation of e-Monep faces significant challenges, primarily related to the competence and discipline of operators in data inputting. Indiscipline and delays in data input hamper the achievement of set targets, even though this system has been implemented since 2021 by the regulation of Gorontalo Governor Regulation Number 29 of 2020. In addition, the organizational dimension, interpretation, and implementation of e-Monep policies still face obstacles, especially in less effective supervision and socialization. Nevertheless, e-Monep has the potential to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in regional development management if supported by competent human resources and firm leadership. In conclusion, the successful implementation of e-Monep depends on the active role of operators, a good understanding of the policy, strict supervision, and improvements in the socialization and training system for all relevant parties.
