- Abstract
This study evaluates the allocation of authority to regions for the implementation and management of Covid-19 and examines their adherence to the Principles of Regional Autonomy. Employing a normative juridical approach with a statutory focus, the research scrutinizes the policy framework established by the Central Government, characterizing it as reactive due to limited input from stakeholders, the public, and experts during policy formulation. Analysis reveals that regional authorities primarily rely on regional regulations, particularly Regional Head Regulations, for Covid-19 management. However, these regulations often stem from responses to directives issued by the central government. The study identifies discrepancies between the devolution of authority to regions and the principles of Regional Autonomy, notably concerning transparency and adequate funding for decentralized governance. Many regional policies are funded through local budgets (APBD), indicating a reliance on central government allocations rather than genuine fiscal autonomy.
