This policy is known as PUAP (Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan/Rural Agribusiness Developement). In this research I want to analyze the implementation of PUAP program in Ngawi Regency in order to know why in such gapoktan this program can be well implemented while in others gapoktan cannot. And finally we can design the better implementation of PUAP program in Ngawi Regency. To conduct this research, I will start by stating two basic questions: What are the supporting factors implementations of the PUAP program? And what are constraining factors of implementations of the PUAP program?. The research result shows that the constraining factors consist of: Socialization process conducted by gapoktan still not optimal, The lack of an existing Penyelia Mitra Tani in Ngawi, The lack of willingness of the officials of gapoktan to work, no assessments from the government to actors involved in PUAP program, The abuse of authority by the officials of gapoktan, Bad appointment of bureaucrats in gapoktan, Lack of financial support, fragmentation among companions. While for supporting factors consist of : Principle of openness that has been implemented by official of gapoktan, Good behavior had by most of actors involved in the implementation of PUAP program.
Implementing Public Policy Education: The Role of the University
As exemplified by the exchanges at the Third National Applied Developmental Science Conference, I believe that applied developmental science (ADS). is providing the intellectual foundation for the twenty-first century university; it is an intellectual foundation that emphasizes both scholarly excellence and public engagement. ADS scholars are positioned to help shape the twenty-first century university. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the challenges that we must confront if we are to build universities in which ADS can thrive.
The Diminishing Role of Social Work Administrators in Social Service Agencies
ABSTRACT The social service industry in the United States has experienced tremendous growth and change since the early 1970s. Unfortunately, the social work profession has not kept up with this growth and change. This article explores several issues that have emerged in social work administration that may contribute to the seemingly diminished role of social workers in administrative positions in social service agencies. They include the role that schools of social work play in educating social workers for administration, competition for administrative positions in social service agencies, and the differences which exist between administration in social service agencies and other types of organizations.
