This article examines administrative capacity at the local government level as a critical determinant of the effective implementation of grants for Early Childhood Education (ECE), a policy domain widely recognized as a strategic public investment with long-term social and economic returns. Despite the growing reliance on subnational grants to finance ECE services across diverse governance systems, implementation outcomes remain uneven, frequently constrained by limited administrative capacity, weak public financial management, fragmented governance arrangements, and fragile accountability mechanisms. Responding to these challenges, this study aims to synthesize and critically assess the international literature to clarify how administrative capacity shapes the design–implementation nexus of local government ECE grants and to identify the institutional, managerial, and fiscal conditions under which such grants are more likely to achieve their intended objectives. Methodologically, the article adopts a conceptual–comparative literature review approach, drawing on a systematic search of peer-reviewed journal articles from major academic databases and applying thematic synthesis to integrate findings across governance contexts and policy traditions. The review is anchored in Administrative Capacity Theory and analytically enriched through insights from policy implementation theory, public financial management, good governance, and public accountability. The synthesized findings demonstrate that administrative capacity operates as a multidimensional and relational construct, encompassing institutional coherence, managerial coordination, human resource competence, procedural stability, and analytical capability. The literature consistently shows that weaknesses across these dimensions undermine grant implementation through delays, inefficiencies, limited oversight, and uneven service quality, while strong capacity enables more predictable, accountable, and effective ECE grant governance.

Digital transformation has become a central agenda in local governments seeking to improve the effectiveness, accessibility, and reliability of public service delivery, particularly in population administration services that constitute the legal foundation of citizenship. In Indonesia, the Surabaya City Government has implemented the Klampid New Generation (KNG) program as an integrated digital platform for population administration services, aiming to streamline civil registration processes, enhance service quality, and expand citizen access. Despite its technological ambition, the implementation of digital population administration services continues to face persistent challenges related to administrative capacity, especially at the municipal level where services are operationalized and directly experienced by citizens. This issue raises an urgent academic and practical question regarding how administrative capacity shapes the performance and sustainability of digital public services within the broader digital government transformation. This article aims to synthesize and critically evaluate the existing scholarly literature on administrative capacity in the implementation of digital population administration services, with analytical relevance to the KNG program in Surabaya City Government. Employing an integrative literature review design, the study systematically examines peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, and SINTA databases. Articles were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using thematic and conceptual synthesis techniques. The review identifies key dimensions of administrative capacity that consistently influence digital service implementation, including institutional and organizational arrangements, human resource competence, technological and infrastructural readiness, regulatory and procedural alignment, inter-organizational coordination, and the role of street-level bureaucrats in frontline service delivery.

This research uses the Fraud Control Plan (FCP) as a moderating variable to explore how human resource competency, internal control systems, and internal supervision affect regional government financial reporting. Due to financial reporting transparency and accountability issues, public sector corruption remains rampant, prompting the study. A quantitative approach was used using moderated regression analysis. Lampung Province's Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) accounting and reporting workers received questionnaires to gather data. The results show that human resource competency, internal control mechanisms, and internal supervision improve financial reporting. The Fraud Control Plan strongly moderates the correlations between human resource competency, internal supervision, and financial reporting quality, but not the internal control system. These findings imply that improving human resource competences, internal supervision, and fraud control may significantly enhance regional government financial reporting openness and accountability.

Post-harvest handling of fish requires an effective cold chain system, including the availability of ice factories, to preserve the quality and freshness of catches. The presence of an ice factory enables fishermen to bring ice during fishing trips, ensuring the catch remains safe for consumption. The planning of a portable mini ice factory in Ciwaru Village, located within the Ciletuh National Geopark, aims to maintain fish quality along the southern coast of West Java. Although several ice factories exist in Sukabumi Regency, their availability at fish landing sites such as the Ciwaru Fish Auction Place (TPI) remains insufficient. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 2 of 2021, assistance for ice factory construction is provided to fishermen groups following a feasibility study submission. This community service project aims to assist fishermen cooperatives in improving cold chain management and preparing a feasibility study for ice factory development. Key issues identified include limited human resource competence, hygiene and sanitation challenges, feasibility study preparation, and internal communication enhancement within cooperatives. Solutions are implemented through training programs, cold chain method applications, feasibility analysis for mini ice factories, and the development of an information system for fishermen. The planned ice factory unit has a capacity of 1 ton per 8-hour cycle, supported by three freshwater wells near the site. Economic analysis reveals an NPV of Rp1,170,676,141, an IRR of 10.91%, and a Net B/C Ratio of 1.64, with a BEP at 311 tons/year, well below the installed capacity of 788 tons/year, confirming its economic viability. The resulting feasibility study will serve as the basis for applying for government assistance, complemented by scientific publications, national media coverage, video documentation, and intellectual property registration.

The study aims to analyze the influence of internal control systems and the use of information technology on the quality of financial reports, with human resource competence serving as a mediating variable. The study was conducted at 18 Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Gresik Regency, with the main indicators being internal control systems, the use of information technology, financial report quality, and human resource competence. Using purposive sampling, a sample of 70 respondents comprising the population of Puskesmas employees in the Gresik region was selected for the study. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) method was used as the data analysis technique after all primary data were collected via a questionnaire specifically designed to represent the relevant variables. Based on the research results, the quality of financial reports has a positive impact when utilizing an information technology-based internal control system. However, human resource competence does not have a maximal impact on the utilization of the internal control system; nevertheless, a positive impact can be leveraged through the use of information technology. Further mediation analysis indicates that human resource competency mediates the correlation between internal control systems and financial statement quality. Conversely, human resource competency does not mediate the relationship between the utilization of information technology and financial statement quality. This study underscores the importance of internal control systems, the utilization of information technology, and human resource competency in producing optimal financial statement quality.
