This research discusses the increasing child violence in Bintan Regency every year. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in addressing violence against children. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory used is the collaborative governance theory by Ansell & Gash, which consists of five indicators: face to face, trust building, commitment to process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. The conclusion of this research shows that collaborative governance in addressing child violence in Bintan Regency has been implemented, with collaboration between the government, child protection agencies, and the community. The indicators of face to face, trust building, and shared understanding have been quite good through communication and coordination among the actors. However, the indicators of commitment to process and intermediate outcomes still face challenges such as changes in positions, sectoral egos, and time constraints. Although services for victims have started to improve, the rate of child violence remains high and many cases are resolved peacefully. An increase in commitment and coordination is needed to strengthen protection efforts and elevate the status of Child-Friendly Districts.

This study examines the implementation of Collaborative Governance between the Technical Implementation Unit for Women's and Children's Protection (UPT.PPA) and the Children's Protection Agency (LPA) in handling child abuse cases in East Java Province. With the high incidence of child abuse in this region, child protection has become an urgent priority. The aim of this research is to identify the forms of collaboration undertaken, the challenges faced, and the strategies to enhance the effectiveness of the collaboration. The findings indicate that the collaboration between UPT.PPA and LPA involves case referrals and joint handling that require mediation or special interventions by certified experts. Challenges include policy differences, limited resources and budgets, and uncertainties due to changes in government policies. This study recommends the drafting of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), strengthening resources and budgets, utilizing information technology to improve coordination, and public awareness campaigns on the importance of reporting child abuse cases. This research contributes to the understanding of the importance of structured collaboration and strategies to overcome obstacles in efforts to protect children from abuse.
