The Role of the Council Secretariat in Supporting DPRD Performance Central Bengkulu Regency for the 2019 - 2024 period

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This research aims to examine the role of the Council Secretariat in supporting the performance of the Central Bengkulu Regency DPRD. This research uses a qualitative approach with the research aspects used, namely effectiveness, efficiency and strategic role. In the effectiveness aspect, there are weaknesses, namely related to the lack of equipment to support the performance of board members, such as laptops. Apart from that, the management of information media such as the official DPRD website is still not optimal and the use of information technology is minimal. And also technical guidance activities are rarely carried out for staff, and technical guidance is still not optimal for board members in terms of technical guidance material. For the efficiency aspect, the weakness that occurs is the minimal use of information technology so that the provision of technological infrastructure is still not available. And in the strategic role aspect, the weaknesses that occur are the lack of education and training activities for secretariat staff and the minimal use of information technology to support the performance of council members. Regarding administrative policies, there has been no policy issued by the secretariat leadership to increase the role of the DPRD Secretariat in supporting the performance of Central Bengkulu Regency DPRD members.
