Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges to the management of village funds, a critical component of rural development in Indonesia. The village fund management policy is designed to support the development of rural areas by providing financial resources for community projects and initiatives. However, the effective implementation of this policy is often hindered by various factors, including communication, resources, attitudes of implementation, and bureaucratic structure. This study aims to analyze the influence of these factors on the implementation of village fund management policies in Tapian Nauli District, Central Tapanuli Regency.

Background

The village fund management policy is a key component of Indonesia's rural development strategy, aimed at promoting economic growth and reducing poverty in rural areas.

However, the effective implementation of this policy is often hindered by various factors, including communication, resources, attitudes of implementation, and bureaucratic structure.

Methodology

This study uses a quantitative method with a population consisting of village officials and productive age population totaling 15,924 people. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique and was calculated by the Slovin formula, which is 99 people. Research data obtained from observation, documentation, and distribution of questionnaires to respondents.

Factors of Influence

However, the attitude of implementation has a positive but not significant influence on policy implementation.

Communication

Resources are essential for the effective implementation of village fund management policies, as they enable village officials to carry out their duties and provide services to the community.

Clear and organized bureaucratic structure can improve efficiency and effectiveness in the decision-making process and program implementation. A well-structured bureaucratic system enables village officials to make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and implement policies efficiently.

Implementation Attitude

A positive attitude towards policy implementation can motivate stakeholders to work together, share information, and make informed decisions.

Resources are essential for the effective implementation of village fund management policies, and the government should ensure that village officials have access to the resources they need to carry out their duties.

Strengthening Bureaucratic Structure

Regional Government needs to conduct an evaluation and improvement of existing bureaucratic structures to increase the effectiveness of village fund management. A well-structured bureaucratic system enables village officials to make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and implement policies efficiently.

Improvement of Motivation and Capacity
