| dc.description.abstract | Drug abuse and distribution in Indonesia represent a serious problem for
the country. This study was motivated by concerns regarding the high number of
drug abuse cases, especially in Medan City. Therefore, strategic steps are needed
from the government to be able to overcome this problem. North Sumatra
Provincial National Narcotics Agency implements the strategy that has been set
by Law number 2 of 2020 concerning the National Action Plan for P4GN. This
study aims to determine the implementation of the strategy carried out by North
Sumatra Provincial National Narcotics Agency in an effort to prevent drug abuse
in Medan City.
This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach and data
collection techniques through observation, documentation and interviews with
respondents determined using the Purposive Sampling technique. Data analysis
techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
Data is processed and analyzed using the strategy implementation theory
approach from Hunger and Wheelen with indicators such as Programs, Budgets
and Procedures.
The results of this study indicate that North Sumatra Provincial National
Narcotics Agency is implementing a prevention strategy as seen from three
indicators. In the program indicator, North Sumatra Provincial National
Narcotics Agency carries out prevention programs such as socialization or
counseling, anti-drug campaigns through electronic and non-electronic media,
early detection, technical guidance and shining villages/sub-districts as its efforts
in preventing drug abuse in Medan City. For the budget indicator, North Sumatra
Provincial National Narcotics Agency implements all its programs as detailed in
the Budget Implementation List, sourced from the National Budget and nonbudget implementation list, and uses these funds effectively and efficiently. For
the procedure indicator, North Sumatra Provincial National Narcotics Agency’s
SOP is considered very good, as it explains the workflow in a structured and
systematic manner. However, the implementation has not been maximized
because the programs are not extensive or evenly distributed throughout drugprone areas, due to obstacles such as limited resources. Research
recommendations to support the implementation of North Sumatra Provincial
National Narcotics Agency’s strategy in preventing drug abuse in Medan City
include increasing resources, such as budget enhancements, and the
establishment of National Narcotics Agency of Medan City. | en_US |
