Network management in the implementation of child marriage policy in Maros Regency

Abstract

The Child Marriage Policy is a form of prevention of child marriage and a follow-up to Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning the age of marriage, where men and women must be at least 19 years of age to marry. The policy of child marriage needs the support of many parties. Therefore, cooperation from interested parties is needed to prevent an increase in child marriage cases. Network management is needed to manage the cooperation process between the parties involved to achieve a common goal. The rate of child marriage cases in one of the districts in the province of South Sulawesi has decreased after the existence of a child marriage policy and various parties involved. However, in the collaboration process, there are still obstacles. The focus of the study in this research is network management, which has implications for the management of cooperation between actors in carrying out policies to improve their implementation to be more effective by looking at the implementation of the child marriage policy. Network management has five dimensions: governance, leadership, distributive accountability, information sharing, and resource access. Qualitative research method with descriptive analysis.
