EVALUATION OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING POLICY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RPJMN AND RPJMD
Keywords:
RPJMN , RPJMD, Policy Evaluation , National Development, PlanningAbstract
Evaluation of national development planning policies is a crucial step in ensuring alignment between long-term strategic objectives and development implementation at the regional level. This study examines the relationship between the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) and the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD), two key instruments guiding the development process in Indonesia. The evaluation was conducted by reviewing the principles of policy integration, synchronization, and consistency, while also identifying areas of inconsistency that frequently arise in planning practice. The findings indicate that although conceptually the RPJMN and RPJMD have been designed to be mutually supportive, implementation in the field still faces obstacles, particularly related to regional capacity, cross-sectoral coordination, and limited development data. Furthermore, political dynamics and changing government priorities often affect the effectiveness of policy alignment. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening data-driven planning systems, increasing collaboration between levels of government, and establishing more measurable monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. Thus, policy evaluation within the RPJMN and RPJMD perspectives serves not only as a monitoring tool but also as a strategic means to improve the quality of national and regional development in a sustainable manner.
