Curriculum Transformation Strategy Through Digital Literacy Integration to Enhance Religious Moderation Among Students
Deri Furna Al Haq
Abstract:The transformation of religious curricula in the era of disruption is imperative to address the challenges of low digital literacy and rising religious exclusivism triggered by social media algorithms. Current curricula, which tend to be text-heavy and dogmatic, fail to equip students with information filtering skills, leaving them vulnerable to digital intolerance narratives. Employing a qualitative policy analysis methodology with William N. Dunn’s scoring criteria, this work evaluates various regulatory alternatives to strengthen religious moderation. The analysis reveals that integrating digital literacy into religious education content standards significantly enhances students' cognitive resilience against hoaxes and cyber provocations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of a curriculum pruning strategy to provide space for critical analysis competencies and digital ethics among educators through the TPACK framework. It is concluded that a top-down policy via Ministry of Religious Affairs Regulations is the most effective step in restructuring the educational paradigm. It is recommended that the Ministry of Religious Affairs immediately issue integrated digital literacy regulations and strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration with telecommunications authorities to ensure the successful implementation of inclusive religious moderation in cyberspace.

Transformation Strategy of Religious Study Program Curriculum Through Industrial Practitioner Engagement to Enhance Graduate Relevanc
Husnul Anwaril Anam
Abstract:This policy article examines the urgency of curriculum transformation within religious study programs at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Ampel Surabaya to respond to the ever-changing dynamics of the professional world. The primary issue identified is a competency gap between academic outputs and industrial needs due to rigid curriculum governance and incidental practitioner involvement. This analysis employs a descriptive qualitative policy methodology utilizing William N. Dunn’s evaluation criteria, encompassing effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and technical feasibility. Strategic steps are formulated through problem identification using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth method and root cause mapping through a systemic thinking framework. Based on the assessment, five policy alternatives are proposed, focusing on the institutionalization of practitioner roles through the establishment of an Industrial Advisory Board, the implementation of an agile curriculum, and the synchronization of outcome-based learning achievements. This strategy is supported by conceptual frameworks of human capital, constructivism, and the Triple Helix model to ensure a harmonious integration between Islamic values and industrial professionalism. The implementation of this policy is expected to shift the educational paradigm from pure theoretical mastery toward adaptive transversal competency. By strengthening strategic collaboration between the university and the private sector, the institution can ensure that religious study program graduates possess high competitiveness, proficient digital literacy, and readiness to face future global labor market disruptions

Strategies for Transforming Applied Competency Based Curriculum to Address Graduate Unemployment at State Islamic Religious Universities
Burhanudin Hartono
Abstract:The high rate of open unemployment among university graduates, particularly within State Islamic Religious Universities, represents a crucial challenge for human capital development in Indonesia for the 2021–2025 period. This phenomenon is driven by a significant competency gap between academic curricula, which are dominated by theoretical content, and the actual needs of the business and industrial sectors. This policy paper aims to formulate strategies for addressing unemployment through the transformation of a more responsive and applied curriculum. The analysis is conducted by applying a comprehensive policy evaluation framework, beginning with problem identification using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth method to objectively map issue priorities. Subsequently, an assessment of various policy intervention alternatives is performed using William N. Dunn’s six evaluation criteria, which include effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and technical feasibility. The results of the analysis indicate that the absence of regulations requiring curriculum partnerships with industry is a primary obstacle in synchronizing graduate competencies. As a strategic solution, this paper recommends the issuance of a Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs concerning Guidelines for the Development of Applied Competency-Based Curricula. This policy mandates the restructuring of credit loads with a significant portion dedicated to practical work and the integration of digital literacy as a minimum standard for learning outcomes. Through this approach, it is expected that a strong link-and-match synergy will be established between educational institutions and the labor market, thereby sustainably reducing the rate of educated unemployment. The implementation of this policy is an urgent step to ensure that university graduates possess not only a textual religious understanding but also competitive functional agility on both national and international scales.

Accelerating PAI's Digital Transformation: Infrastructure Strengthening Strategy and Affirmative Regulation in the 3T Region of South Sulawesi
Desyuniart
Abstract:Accelerating digital transformation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in the 3T (Underdeveloped, Remote, and Transmigration) regions of South Sulawesi is a strategic step to achieve equal quality education and counter the risk of radicalism in cyberspace. This analysis is motivated by the sharp digital divide resulting from limited basic infrastructure such as internet networks and electricity supply, as well as the low digital pedagogical competency of educators in remote areas. This situation is exacerbated by the absence of specific regulations providing policy affirmation for regions with extreme geographical challenges. The policy methodology used in this paper is a qualitative descriptive analysis with an alternative policy evaluation approach using William N. Dunn's criteria, which include effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, fairness, responsiveness, and appropriateness. Issue priorities were determined using the *Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth* (USG) method to identify the most crucial root causes. The analysis results indicate that government intervention through regulatory strengthening is key. Proposed policy recommendations include the issuance of a Ministerial Decree on minimum standards for madrasah digital infrastructure in the 3T (Underdeveloped, Transmigration) regions, flexibility in the use of operational assistance funds for alternative connectivity solutions, and the development of a digital content repository platform based on local wisdom. The implementation of this affirmative regulation is expected to reduce disparities in access, systematically improve teachers' digital skills, and ensure the sustainability of inclusive and adaptive learning processes in all corners of South Sulawesi. This step lays a crucial foundation for strengthening the morality of the younger generation through moderate and professionally curated religious content.

Standardization of Handover Procedures for Officials Empowered to Draw Up Waqf Pledge Deeds An Effort to Overcome Administrative Barriers to Historical Waqf Documents
Abstract:The weakness of waqf land certification in Indonesia is often rooted in internal management issues at the upstream level, particularly regarding document integrity at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This policy paper examines the phenomenon of personnel rotation occurring without strict archive handover procedures and the weak documentation management at the district level, which systematically triggers administrative procedural complexities. Such conditions cause historical data, such as the original Waqf Pledge Deeds, to frequently be lost or damaged, thereby hindering the judicial evidentiary process before land authorities. This documentary uncertainty triggers high risks of land disputes, especially when the economic value of urban land increases rapidly, prompting counterclaims from heirs. The policy methodology applied in this paper uses a descriptive qualitative analysis approach with William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation technique to assess the feasibility of alternative solutions. Through environmental scanning of current bureaucratic practices, a synthesis of various relevant regulations was conducted to formulate more adaptive standard operating procedures. The results of the analysis indicate that the standardization of handover procedures for Officials Empowered to Draw Up Waqf Pledge Deeds (PPAIW), accompanied by mandatory audits of vital archives, is a strategic step to ensure administrative continuity. This effort is aimed at creating an unbroken chain of information, ensuring that historical documents maintain their validity despite personnel changes. The primary recommendation emphasizes the importance of strengthening internal regulations under the relevant ministry to guarantee maximum legal protection for community social-religious assets through accountable and transparent administrative structuring.

Digital Transformation of the Integrated One-Stop Service at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Lampung through Data Integration and Automated Validation
Nurul Fajri
Abstract:The transformation of public services through the online Integrated One-Stop Service (PTSP) system at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Lampung Province currently faces serious challenges regarding the uncertainty of service duration, caused by weak document verification systems. The primary issues identified include low data integration between work units (such as SIMKAH and EMIS data) and the absence of automated validation, which forces verifiers to perform repetitive manual checks, leading to document backlogs and bureaucratic inefficiency. This policy research utilizes a descriptive qualitative methodology with a content analysis approach toward related regulations and systematic observations of the existing digital workflow. The policy analysis is conducted using criteria of effectiveness, efficiency, and technical feasibility to evaluate various alternative solutions. The results indicate that the absence of a middleware layer and interoperability standards are the main obstacles to realizing a Digital Era Governance (DEG) ecosystem. Therefore, this policy paper recommends an acceleration strategy through the issuance of a Regional Head Instruction on Open API Implementation and the development of an integration infrastructure based on a Single Source of Truth (SSoT). The implementation of this solution is projected to automate up to 70% of the verification process, reduce the manual workload of verifiers, and ensure transparency through real-time document tracking features. By strengthening the theoretical foundations of Whole-of-Government and Agile Bureaucracy, this policy is expected to improve digital service quality (e-ServQual) and restore public trust in the professionalism of public services within the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Lampung Province.

Strategy for Strengthening Public Accountability Through the Implementation of Financial Accounting Standards to Increase National Zakat Payer Participation
Leni Nopilia
Abstract:The strategy for strengthening public accountability through the implementation of the latest financial accounting standards has become a crucial instrument in rebuilding public trust toward national zakat management institutions. This policy article aims to formulate tactical steps to address low financial reporting compliance and weak internal control systems that have historically hindered institutional transparency. The policy methodology employed involves a descriptive qualitative approach through the analysis of regulatory documents, observation of financial statement audit patterns, and evaluation of competency gaps among field practitioners. Problem prioritization was conducted using the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) analysis, which determined that the weakness of public accountability and financial audits is the most pressing issue to be addressed due to its serious impact on the decline of public participation. The results of the discussion indicate that the primary barriers to adopting these accounting standards include the limitations of fragmented information technology systems and the low number of professionally certified amils. Furthermore, a significant information asymmetry was found between fund managers and zakat payers due to the absence of regular audit mechanisms at the regional level. As a strategic solution, this article recommends that the government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, issue regulations mandating external and Sharia audits as a mandatory requirement for the renewal of operational licenses for zakat institutions. Additionally, it is necessary to accelerate the digitalization of nationally integrated accounting systems and strengthen human capital through continuous professional certification programs. The implementation of these recommendations is expected to create a professional and transparent Islamic philanthropy ecosystem, thereby mitigating the risk of fund misappropriation while significantly driving increased public participation in supporting national economic welfare through accountable zakat distribution

Strategy for Strengthening Confucian Religious Education Services Through Teacher Recruitment Policies in Bangka Belitung
Andreas Yudho Astono
Abstract:The issue of suboptimal Confucian religious education services in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province is a critical concern that results in the neglect of students' constitutional rights. The core problem is rooted in a drastic imbalance between the number of students and the quantity of educators, exacerbated by low interest among prospective students due to career prospect uncertainty and the limited number of higher education institutions for Confucian studies. This paper aims to formulate strategic solutions to break the chain of teacher shortages through an integrative policy approach. The policy methodology employed is descriptive qualitative analysis, applying William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework. The analytical process involves comprehensive problem identification and the establishment of evaluation criteria—including effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness—followed by scoring various intervention options. The analysis concludes that a recruitment policy through an integrated service-bond scheme (ikatan dinas) is the most incisive step to simultaneously resolve upstream and downstream issues. The primary recommendation is the establishment of a Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation concerning service-bond patterns and the placement of graduates from Confucian religious higher education institutions. This policy is projected to provide career certainty for students, ensure competency linearity, and stabilize the teacher supply in critical regions through cross-sectoral coordination with national civil service authorities. The implementation of this recommendation is expected to transform religious study programs into high-value career paths while ensuring the sustainability of character education based on Confucian values in public schools, thereby guaranteeing social justice and religious moderation at the regional level sustainably

Strategy for Strengthening Assessor Competence in Recognizing Prior Learning to Improve the Quality of Religious Higher Education
Ahmad Fauzi
Abstract:The weak implementation of Prior Learning Recognition (RPL) within State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN) is a crucial issue hindering the accessibility and inclusivity of higher education. The main problem identified is the low literacy and competency of assessors in assessing practitioner portfolios, which is exacerbated by limited assessment instruments and quality assurance standards. This policy analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method with a Policy Analysis approach that integrates the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) criteria to determine priority for problem resolution. The policy methodology also involves an analysis of William N. Dunn's criteria to evaluate various alternative solutions based on aspects of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and accuracy. The analysis results indicate that the root of the problem stems from the lack of practical experience of assessors in mapping cross-sector competencies due to organizational fragmentation and a rigid academic culture. Theoretical support used includes Human Capital Theory, Andragogy, and the Resource-Based View to dissect the urgency of human resource investment. As a strategic solution, this policy paper recommends the establishment of a Rector's Decree concerning Internal Assessor Governance and Certification Scheme. This policy is considered the most effective because it provides legal legitimacy, standardizes assessment operations, and ensures the integrity of recognition results. Implementation of this recommendation is expected to mitigate legal risks, standardize the quality of recognition at the study program level, and increase institutional competitiveness in providing flexible and high-quality educational services to the wider community. By strengthening the capacity of assessors, PTKIN can realize an outcomes-based educational transformation that adapts to the dynamic needs of the global workforce

Government Synergy In Spatial Planning And Infrastructure To Improve Hygiene Standards Of Micro Business Production
Elvansyah Putra
Abstract:This policy paper identifies the critical challenges faced by micro-enterprises in densely populated urban areas, where land limitations lead to the integration of production spaces with residential areas, thereby hindering the separation of production flows according to hygiene and halal assurance standards. This issue results in a high risk of cross-contamination and weakens the competitiveness of local products within formal supply chains. Utilizing a descriptive-qualitative policy analysis approach, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of existing regulations and formulates a cross-sectoral synergy strategy between technical ministries and local governments. The policy methodology employed includes mapping structural problems in physical facilities, analyzing operational standard gaps, and formulating a collaborative framework through joint regulations. The core of this policy proposal is the restructuring of the local government's role to directly intervene in physical infrastructure development for micro-businesses that have attained halal certification but are constrained by facilities. These strategic steps include the allocation of regional budgets for physical facility renovation and the reconfiguration of spatial layouts on limited land according to national technical standards. Through the implementation of this policy, it is expected to achieve consistent hygiene standardization, strengthened product traceability, and the elimination of logistical barriers for micro-entrepreneurs. In conclusion, the proposed synergy aims to create a resilient local halal industrial ecosystem, where government infrastructure intervention serves as the primary key to ensuring sustainable compliance with health and religious regulations, enabling local micro-enterprise products to competitively enter modern retail markets and government procurement systems.

Policy Strategy for Strengthening Religious Moderation Capacity to Enhance the Role of Religious Instructors as Agents of Moderation in Sub-districts
M. Siddiq
Abstract:The revitalization policy for the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) aims to transform the institution from a mere marriage registration office into a multipurpose religious service center. However, in Riau Islands Province, the effectiveness of this role is hindered by limited capacity and distribution of Religious Educators as agents of moderation, particularly in the Frontier and Outermost (2T). The analysis in this policy paper employs a qualitative approach supported by various policy and social theories, such as Role Theory, Legitimacy Theory, and Street-Level Bureaucracy Theory. Problem prioritization was conducted using the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) method. Furthermore, an analysis of three policy alternatives was performed using William N. Dunn’s criteria, which include effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The USG analysis results indicate that the limited capacity of Religious Educators as agents of moderation at the sub-district level received the highest score (14), making it the primary priority to be addressed. Based on the analysis of Dunn’s criteria, the most appropriate policy recommendation is the enactment of a Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation concerning the Performance Evaluation System for Religious Educators Based on Social Impact, which received the highest total score (26). This policy recommends transforming success indicators from administrative reports into real achievements within the community, such as increased tolerance indices and the effectiveness of conflict resolution, integrated directly into the career development mechanisms for educators.

Weighing Family Loyalty: The Challenge of Cultural Nepotism in Recruitment Policies
Abstract:The management of waqf assets in South Sulawesi Province faces fundamental challenges due to suboptimal managerial capacity among Nazhir (waqf managers), resulting in assets remaining static and limited to basic religious functions (ibadah mahdah). The primary issues include low competency standards, a lack of professional certification, and the prevalence of cultural nepotism in recruitment, where appointments are based on kinship rather than technical merit. If left unaddressed, waqf assets will continue to be a maintenance burden, and public trust in waqf institutions will significantly decline. This research is a policy paper employing a descriptive qualitative analysis. To determine priority issues, the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method was applied. Furthermore, a Fishbone diagram was utilized to identify the root causes of problems within the Nazhir recruitment process. The study is framed by several theoretical lenses, including Human Capital Theory, Stewardship Theory, Resource-Based View (RBV), Institutional Theory, and Public Accountability Theory. The analysis reveals that recruitment issues driven by cultural nepotism are the highest priority, evidenced by the highest USG score (15 points). Factors such as kinship-based appointments, the absence of systematic fit and proper testing at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), and optional certification regulations act as major barriers to professionalism. This paper recommends a policy intervention through the issuance of a Ministerial Regulation (PMA) to mandate professional competency certification for Nazhir, thereby breaking the cycle of nepotism and fostering a sustainable transformation toward productive waqf.

Transforming Institutional Credit Hour Loads to Address Curriculum Structural Rigidity Based on Interdisciplinary Competencies
Ariyanto Siahaan
Abstract:The primary challenge in religious higher education is the dominance of static core theology curricula, which creates an excessive burden of mandatory institutional credit hours. This condition results in curriculum structural rigidity that restricts students' acquisition of interdisciplinary competencies. This policy methodology employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method for issue prioritization and William N. Dunn’s criteria for policy alternative evaluation. The analysis reveals that the current curriculum structure lacks sufficient flexibility for students to adapt to modern workforce dynamics. The discussion emphasizes that transforming credit hour loads is a crucial step for the effective implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka policy. In conclusion, curriculum restructuring is necessary to dismantle academic rigidity and broaden the graduates' skill spectrum. The primary policy recommendations include adopting Outcome-Based Education (OBE) standards by simplifying mandatory institutional courses, integrating professional competency certifications, and expanding cross-sectoral partnerships. This strategy is expected to produce graduates who are adaptive, competitive, and relevant to cross-industry demands in the digital era.

Digital Ecosystem Standardization of the Quranic Literacy: A Policy Strategy to Mitigate the Impact of Fear of Missing Out and Public Attention Disruption
Abdul Syukur
Abstract:The low intensity and quality of public engagement with Quranic literacy requires attention due to the dominance of digital disruption, which erodes attention spans through the culture of infinite scrolling and digital dopamine addiction. The urgency of this issue lies in the phenomenon of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and content fragmentation that impairs cognitive capacity for deep reading, resulting in engagement with the Qur’an being outcompeted by time spent on digital devices. This policy paper adopts a descriptive qualitative methodology, utilizing the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method for problem prioritization and William N. Dunn’s framework to evaluate policy alternatives based on effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The analysis indicates that digital disruption is the most urgent issue with the highest score (14), necessitating structural intervention through the standardization of the digital ecosystem to mitigate extraneous cognitive load and restore public focus. The discussion recommends the issuance of a Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) regarding the Standardization and Acceleration of the National Quranic Literacy Digital Ecosystem as a primary strategy to regulate key actors, such as the Lajnah Pentashihan Mushaf Al-Qur'an (LPMQ) and application developers, to ensure content authenticity and maintain the quality of user attention amidst the surge of instant information.

Accelerating Green Campus Policies: Efforts to Mitigate Environmental Degradation and Transform Sustainable Governance
Devid Prianata
Abstract:This policy paper examines the urgency of strengthening regulations related to the implementation of a Green Campus at the Palangka Raya State Christian Institute, which currently faces serious challenges in the form of environmental degradation and the deterioration of public spaces. The main issues identified include the loss of water absorption areas due to land conversion into physical structures, the low effectiveness of vegetation maintenance, and waste management that has not yet been integrated into a circular system. Using a policy analysis method that includes identifying the root causes through the Urgency, Seriousness, Growth (USG) technique, this paper evaluates various managerial obstacles hindering the creation of a sustainable educational ecosystem. The review process was conducted by comparing several policy alternatives, in which the issuance of a Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation regarding green campus guidelines was assessed as the most effective solution to provide a binding legal framework for all State Religious Universities. This approach was chosen because it effectively integrates physical infrastructure management standards with environmental conservation needs while fostering innovation in campus community participation. The strategic recommendations proposed include the development of comprehensive regulations mandating a minimum of thirty percent green open space, the standardization of pedestrian-friendly facilities, and the establishment of an integrated waste management system. The implementation of this policy is projected not only to mitigate local temperature increases on campus but also to transform institutional governance into a more accountable, efficient, and globally competitive system in support of achieving sustainable development goals. Through these policy measures, the transformation of the campus ecosystem into a healthy, shaded, and productive livable space can be accelerated to realize environmentally conscious higher education standards in the long term.

The Low Level of Coastal Solid Waste Management in Rokan Hilir Regency
Riyan Dhana
Abstract:This policy paper describes that Rokan Hilir Regency, as part of the coastal region of Riau, faces serious solid waste management problems characterized by low service coverage, limited infrastructure, and high plastic pollution along the coastline and mangrove ecosystems. This phenomenon indicates the absence of an integrated coastal waste management system, resulting in declining environmental quality and the health of coastal communities. This study aims to identify the root causes of the low level of coastal solid waste management in Rokan Hilir Regency and to formulate appropriate policy alternatives to address it. The method used is qualitative policy analysis, comprising the identification and determination of the main problem using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) technique, root cause analysis, and the selection of policy alternatives using the Bardach method based on technical, economic, and political feasibility criteria. Data were obtained from regional planning documents (RTRW, RPJMD, PTMP) and consultations with relevant policy stakeholders. The results show that the main root cause is the absence of a technical study/plan for coastal solid waste management, causing the storage, collection, transport, treatment, and final-processing systems to function sub-optimally. The policy alternative of improving service coverage and the quality of the coastal waste management system was selected as the priority, with the highest score in the Bardach assessment. Based on these findings, a Regent Regulation on Coastal Area Waste Management is needed, supported by technical standardization, funding synergy, a local management mandate, and continuous monitoring and evaluation to restore the sustainability of the Rokan Hilir coastal ecosystem.

Ecotheology Implementation Strategy through Strengthening Campus Environmental Governance at UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri
Achmad Syafiqul Kholan
Abstract:This policy study is motivated by the low score of Asta Protas Implementation Evaluation on protas 2 (Ecotheology) at UIN Syekh Wasil Kediri (Very Poor), which indicates a wide gap between the national ecotheology policy of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and local environmental governance practices. This study aims to analyze the structural determinants of low participation in integrated waste management due to limited sustainable independent processing infrastructure as a direct impact of the university's internal policies that emphasize the provision of formal academic facilities rather than environmental management facilities, while simultaneously formulating applicable strategic intervention options. The method used is a qualitative descriptive-evaluative approach using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) matrix. The results of the USG analysis determined that low participation of the academic community in integrated waste management is a top priority problem (score 15) rooted in limited sustainable independent processing infrastructure. In conclusion, the stagnation of the environmental movement on this religious campus is not caused by individual laziness, but rather by systemic failure due to the absence of structural incentives and weak managerial commitment. Therefore, it is recommended to the Rector of the Syekh Wasil State Islamic University of Kediri to issue a “Rector’s Regulation on Guidelines for Ecotheology-Based Green Campus Governance.” This form of regulation was chosen as the main priority because it has absolute advantages with the highest score on the criteria of effectiveness and adequacy (score 5), making it the most powerful, binding, and comprehensive legal instrument compared to other alternatives triggering behavioral transformation towards sustainable ecological piety.

Breaking Down Bureaucratic Silos: Data Synchronization Strategy and Relaxation of Asset Regulations in the Fastest Best Results Program (PHTC) Madrasah Revitalization
Nurcholis Ali
Abstract:The revitalization of madrasah physical facilities through the Fast Best Results Program (PHTC) by the Ministry of Public Works (KemenPU) is currently stagnating due to a "silo mentality" and bureaucratic pathology in the management of State Assets (BMN). The background of this study is rooted in overlapping horizontal authority and upstream data fragmentation between the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) EMIS system and KemenPU technical instruments, which is exacerbated by the rigidity of cross-sectoral asset grant procedures, resulting in hundreds of 100% completed madrasah buildings ending up abandoned, locked, and unable to be utilized by students in the regions. This policy study aims to analyze the root causes of this governance impasse while formulating an agile and integrative regulatory solution model. Using a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approach and the Dunn process evaluation model, policy options are rigorously tested through the Alternative Criteria Matrix. The results show a 42% deviation in building damage data and bureaucratic delays due to rigid formal correspondence methods. In conclusion, the lack of a joint coordination forum upstream and officials' legal fear of grant regulations downstream have sacrificed the learning rights of thousands of students in emergency situations and reduced the quality of Islamic education. Therefore, this study recommends that the Ministry of Religious Affairs immediately initiate a Joint Ministerial Regulation (PBM) / Joint Decree (SKB) on the Fast-Track Utilization of BMN which includes a clause "Immediate Utilization Permit" so that completed buildings can be immediately used legally, supported by the establishment of a National Project Management Office (PMO) at the Coordinating Ministry level to unify data commands transparently and in real time.

Implementation of an Electronic One-Stop Service Center to Address Overlapping Cross-Functional SOPs at UIN Padangsidimpuan
Ade Kurniawan Nasution
Abstract:This policy analyzes bureaucratic dysfunction within UIN Syekh Ali Hasan Ahmad Addary Padangsidimpuan, characterized by sectoral egos, fragmented governance, and data siloing between work units due to the absence of an authoritative Macro Business Process Map, which has led to the emergence of rigid and overlapping Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and burdening service users with repeated administrative redundancy. This study aims to formulate a draft policy for structuring institutional governance through digital-based standardization of Cross-Functional SOPs. Using a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical approachwhich were then analyzed using content analysis techniques and organized through Fishbone Diagrams. The study results indicate that a partial unit-level approach is ineffective in resolving overlapping authorities, necessitating the highest regulatory intervention at the university level to lock new workflows into interoperable information system algorithms. In conclusion, the implementation of the micro-level Whole-of-Government concept that integrates legal and technological aspects can break down bureaucratic barriers and create a transparent and accountable campus public service ecosystem. Therefore, it is recommended to the Chancellor of UIN Padangsidimpuan to immediately stipulate the Chancellor's Regulation on Guidelines for the Implementation of Electronic-Based One-Stop Service Centers (PLSP) which require the implementation of a Single Sign-On (SSO) system, cross-unit Application Programming Interface (API) interconnection, and the implementation of a strict Service Level Agreement (SLA), accompanied by an intensive change management strategy to mitigate cultural resistance among employees in the field.

Beyond Attendance Lists: Standardizing Facilitator Evaluation and Competence to Eradicate the Stigma of Marriage Counseling Formality
Wiwin Virdandes
Abstract:
The issue of low awareness among prospective brides and grooms regarding the Marriage Guidance program stems from weak regulatory enforcement due to the lack of facilitator competency standards and standardized evaluation instruments at the Office of Religious Affairs. This situation has given rise to a phenomenon of lax service delivery, perpetuating the negative perception in society that this family resilience program is merely an administrative formality for fulfilling marriage documents. This policy study aims to formulate a strategy for restructuring the premarital guidance system by strengthening legal aspects, counselor competency, and standardizing national assessment instruments. This analysis uses a qualitative methodology with a descriptive-analytical study approach and secondary legal document analysis, which are then comprehensively dissected using William N. Dunn's alternative policy scoring criteria. The analysis shows that the lack of objective measurement tools triggers bias in facilitator assessments and allows legal loopholes in the independent guidance scheme to be abused by participants for instant convenience. In conclusion, combining aspects of tightening legal regulations with flexibility in fulfilling obligations is the most rational solution to end the long cycle of stigma associated with this paperwork formality. Therefore, it is recommended to the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance to immediately issue a Director General Decree mandating the implementation of integrated national competency-based digital assessment standards (digital post-test) with the determination of a passing grade threshold.

Accelerating Madrasah Competitiveness Through Governance Regulation and Artificial Intelligence Integration
Rizaldi Aditia
Abstract:The disruption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology demands the acceleration of global competency of students, but current madrasah education regulations are still partial, speculative, and reactive due to digital anxiety (techno-anxiety), thus potentially reducing the relevance of graduates in the global job market. This policy study aims to formulate the strategic direction and architecture of the Umbrella Regulation regarding the governance and integration of AI in the madrasah education ecosystem to boost international competitiveness. The study methodology applies descriptive-qualitative public policy analysis that is prescriptive through documentation studies (desk research), thematic qualitative content analysis of legal documents, and synthesis of public problem solving based on the eightfold path framework. The results of the discussion indicate that the acceleration of digital competency in madrasahs requires an integrated three-pillar policy architecture, including the upstream pillar (periodic national research based on evidence), the process pillar (the formation of the Education-Industry Technology Data Consortium and Knowledge Management System), and the downstream pillar (implementation of an enrichment approach in the classroom). This enrichment approach successfully demonstrated that utilizing AI as a thinking partner does not eliminate the sociological power of rote memorization, but rather strengthens it through prompt engineering skills and critical analysis. In conclusion, holistic AI governance can break down data silos, provide legal protection for educators, and guarantee students' digital rights in mastering future skills. Based on this analysis, it is recommended that the Minister of Religious Affairs establish a Ministerial Regulation (PMA) on the Governance and Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Madrasah Education as a foundation for agile governance to produce superior, competitive, and adaptive graduates on the global stage.

Forming an Ecologically Aware Civil Service: Internalizing Ecotheological Values in Bureaucratic Work Culture
Deri Syukrial
Abstract:The global environmental crisis demands a repositioning of the bureaucratic paradigm through the integration of spiritual-ecological values, which in the Ministry of Religious Affairs is realized through the ecotheology priority program. However, the implementation of ecotheology values among ASN is currently still individualistic, triggering a value-action gap phenomenon due to the neglect of ecological responsibility aspects in work evaluation metrics. This policy paper aims to develop strategic policy recommendations to transform individual ASN ecotheology awareness into a collective, measurable, and sustainable green organizational culture. The policy methodology used is a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach with a literature study and regulatory review. The determination of problem priorities was analyzed using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method, while the determination of solution options was evaluated comparatively using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation criteria. The results of the USG analysis confirm that the individualistic nature of ecotheology implementation is the most pressing problem with the highest score (15). Based on the Dunn criteria evaluation, the draft Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) on Ecotheology-Based ASN Performance Indicators and Awards achieved the highest score (23), outperforming other regulatory options due to its effectiveness in overhauling the bureaucratic incentive scheme. The study's conclusion confirms that institutionalizing ecological values within the formal organizational structure is an absolute prerequisite for eliminating conventional, environmentally unfriendly work practices. Therefore, it is recommended that the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia immediately establish a KMA (Commandment of Religious Affairs) on Ecotheology-Based Civil Servant Performance Indicators and Awards. This policy tactically integrates ecological responsibility into Employee Performance Targets (SKP) and provides a formal reward mechanism, transforming environmental ethics into a legally binding official obligation to realize a sustainable green bureaucracy

Strategy for Implementing Ecotheological Values in the Work Behavior of Civil Servants to Realize a Green Office Culture
Irlan Hakim
Abstract:The conventional work patterns of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) that waste resources, such as high paper consumption, energy waste, and the accumulation of single-use plastic waste, trigger state budget inefficiencies amounting to trillions of rupiah annually. The background of this bureaucratic ecological crisis is exacerbated by the gap between the high personal religiosity of civil servants and the low systemic environmental awareness in the office area. This study aims to identify the root causes of the low implementation of ecotheological values and formulate responsive alternative policy strategies to realize a sustainable green office culture. Through a qualitative approach methodology with descriptive-analytical analysis, this study uses the USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) scoring method to determine problem priorities and the Fishbone Diagram to unravel the causal factors. The results show that weak environmental governance is caused by the lack of environmental ethics material in the civil service training curriculum, the absence of green behavior indicators in individual performance assessments, and the absence of exemplary leadership. Therefore, it can be concluded that the current formalistic legal instruments fail to change civil servant behavior because they are partial and lack internalization of religious spiritual values. Based on these findings, the main policy recommendation proposed is to urge the Ministry of Religion to immediately establish the Minister of Religion Regulation (PMA) concerning the Implementation of Ecotheology in the Institutional Governance of the Ministry of Religion as a regulatory instrument that integrates ecotheological values into the performance management system of civil servants.

Transforming Religious Education: Shifting the Anthropocentric Paradigm to Ecotheology-Based Learning
Abstract:
Religious education in Indonesia is currently experiencing a moral dissonance crisis due to the strong dominance of the anthropocentric paradigm and ritual-formalistic fiqh which perpetuate the instillation of abstract moral values and alienated from the global environmental crisis. This policy study aims to formulate the direction of macro regulatory reform that can shift the orientation of dogmatic religious learning towards a critical ecopedagogical praxis based on ecotheology (Theo-Eco-Centric). Using a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical analysis methods, this study applies the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) instrument to prioritize public problems, the Fishbone diagram to unravel structural root causes, and William N. Dunn's evaluation criteria (effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness) to screen five policy alternatives. The instrument scoring results indicate that the issue of abstract morality is the highest priority problem (score 14) caused by the limited ecological competence of teachers in the classroom. From the results of Dunn's evaluation, policy alternative number two achieved the highest score of 28. This study concluded that intervention at the educator competency level is the most adequate and responsive step to break down the chain of moral dissonance in students in a sustainable manner. As a main recommendation, the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia is urged to immediately issue a Decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs (KMA) concerning the Determination of Ecological Competency Standards for Religious Education Teachers as a legal-formal roadmap to integrate Ecological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (EPCK) into the religious education system. This strategic step is in strong synergy with the mandate of the green constitution of the 1945 Constitution, the PPLH Law, the National Education System Law, and the targets of the 2025–2029 RPJMN to produce a golden generation that has a functional ecological-religious character as agents of biosphere conservation.

Resolving Legal Obstacles to Productive Waqf Asset Certification to Attract Regional Private Investment
Ahmad Wijaya Setiawan
Abstract:Administrative governance issues and the low legality of religious assets are major obstacles blocking macroeconomic potential in Lampung Province. These legal certification obstacles are triggered by negligence in recording Waqf Pledge Deeds in the past, oral waqf traditions, and poor intergenerational archival management. Consequently, the risk of disputes with heirs arises as land market values soar, transforming into a major disincentive for third-party investment capital because assets are deemed not to meet clear and clean qualifications. This policy analysis uses a qualitative-descriptive approach by applying the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth (USG) method to determine problem priorities, and a fishbone diagram to unravel the root causes of obstacles. Furthermore, the formulation and evaluation of policy alternatives are separated and weighted in a structured manner using William N. Dunn's policy evaluation criteria, which include aspects of effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equality, responsiveness, and accuracy. The results of Dunn's scoring analysis indicate that the best recommendation to break this vicious cycle of bureaucracy is the ratification of a Joint Regulation between the Minister of Religious Affairs and the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency concerning the Acceleration of Systematic Registration of Productive Waqf Assets. Through this authoritative macro-legal instrument, the government can eliminate clerical neglect at the grassroots level, grant administrative amnesty for lost historical documents, and integrate physical databases into digital platforms. This top-down, cross-sectoral intervention is an absolute prerequisite for restoring a healthy investment climate, ensuring certainty of land rights, and restoring the essential function of religious assets as a driving force for sustainable economic prosperity in Lampung Province.
