Contextual Assessment: the Environment Mapping of the Political-Economic Network,
Stakeholder Analysis, Joint Visioning in the policy implementation of the development of the backward
districts in Jeneponto and Bulukumba regencies.The research used the qualitative method with the
techniques of data collection of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were then analyzed
using the descriptive analysis. The research focus was the multi-organization and multi-sector network
model in implementing the policy. The cases researched on were the backward districts in Jeneponto and
Bulukumba regencies in 2008 – 2009.
The research results revealed that the contextual assessment applied to identify the stakeholders in the
implementation of the policy program of P2KPDT in Jeneponto regency had not yet run well due to the
absence of good coordination among the stakeholders involved. Next, in the part of Joint Visioning, the
network Facilitators, in this case, Bappeda who were appointed by the Regent as the coordinators and
facilitators in P2KPDT development had not yet done their maximum functions. Meanwhile, in
Bulukumba regency, the contextual assessment applied to identify the stakeholders of the implementation
of P2PKDT development policy showed that all the stakeholders involved, both the group of the
government side and the group of the community, had actively participated in the program; hence the
government and the community had worked together to make the program successful in liberating
Bulukumba regency from being a backward regency. Besides, Bappeda as the target formulators had
actively monitored directly and systematically the program without having to wait for the reports from the
sub-networks of the program implementation.
