The method used in this research is qualitative using interview and documentation techniques. This research uses the Dennis A. Rondinelli and G. Shabbir Cheema Implementation Model, which is a theoretical framework used to examine how decentralized government initiatives are implemented. The environment, notions of interorganizational linkages, organizational resources for program implementation, and the traits and skills of implementing agents are four variables that may have an impact on how a policy is implemented.
