Policy Evaluation in Budget Determination at the Regional Revenue, Financial and Asset Management
Agency of Intan Jaya Regency
Journal of Indonesian Impressions (JII) Vol. 4, No. 3, March 2025 1147
(Prince, 2024). At the Regional Revenue, Financial and Asset Management Agency
(BPPKAD) of Intan Jaya Regency, budget determination is very crucial considering the
complexity of development needs, limited resources, and community demands for better public
services. Budget policy evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and
relevance of the policies that have been set (Sanggalangi et al., 2025). With proper evaluation,
local governments can identify strengths and weaknesses in the planning and budgeting
process, as well as ensure that the allocated budget can have a positive impact on the
community (Efendi & Sholeh, 2023). However, the implementation of budget policy
evaluation at BPPKAD Intan Jaya Regency faces various challenges that need to be identified
and overcome. Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 39 of 2006
concerning Procedures for Control and Evaluation of the Implementation of Development
Plans in article 1 paragraph 3 explains that Evaluation is a series of activities that compare the
realization of inputs, outputs, and outcomes to plans and standards. (Alhasni et al., 2024) that
a policy is a direction of action proposed by a person, group, or government in a particular
environment that provides obstacles and opportunities for the proposed policy to be used and
overcome in order to achieve an objective where the policy usually includes principles and
rules that are a reference in decision-making. (Situmorang & Cahyani, 2023) A budget is an
activity plan that will be carried out by the management in a period that is quantitatively stated.
Suhardi & Afrizal, (2019) states that budget can be interpreted as a budget, which is a
plan prepared by a business/service company in a systematic and detailed manner, which is
expressed in quantitative form in the form of monetary units/units, or it can also be in the form
of applicable goods/services units, in a certain period
This research set the research object at the Regional Revenue, Financial and Asset
Management Agency of Intan Jaya Regency, with a focus on research on Policies in Budget
Determination. The results of the researcher's observation identified the phenomenon that
occurred in the object of this study as follows: Many regions, including Intan Jaya Regency,
experience limitations in human and financial resources to carry out a comprehensive
evaluation of budget policies. This can affect the quality of data-driven evaluations and
decision-making. The budgeting process often involves a variety of parties, including the
community, government agencies, and other stakeholders (Shobri, 2024). This phenomenon
shows the importance of stakeholder involvement in policy evaluation, but often community
participation is not optimal (Anugerah et al., 2024). Publication and transparency of budget
information are the main concerns in regional financial management. However, there are still
challenges in ensuring that budget information submitted to the public is easy to understand
and widely accessible (Ramadhani et al., 2025). Changes in social, economic, and
environmental conditions can affect development priorities that must be accommodated in
budget policies (Bakry, 2010). The evaluation carried out should be able to identify these
changes and recommend necessary adjustments. Budget policy evaluation also needs to
consider the impact of the policy on the community (Sos, 2020). This phenomenon includes
measuring the effectiveness of programs financed by the local budget and how they meet the
needs of the community (Gaddafi & Mutiarin, 2017).
This study has its own uniqueness compared to previous research, especially in the
approach used and the more specific scope of analysis. While most previous research has
