THE ROLES, STRATEGIES OF ACTORS AND CAPACITIES OF ACTORS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT POLICIES

Actors play an important role in policy implementation to achieve policy goals. The involvement of the community and other actors in the empowerment process of village communities is still lacking. Actors do not understand the roles they play so that participation is less than optimal. This article intends to describe and analyze the roles, strategies of actors, and capacities of actors in the implementation of village community empowerment policies in Lamongan. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative data analysis based on triangulation of interviews with informants (actors involved in empowerment), observation, and documentation. The research results provide input in the form of roles, actors strategies, and actor capacities in empowering village communities in Lamongan.
