This article aims to analyze the implementation of Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019 concerning the implementation of protection of women and children from violence after the earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction of September 28th, 2018 in Palu City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study refers to the Van Meter and Van Horn implementation model with six variables, namely policy standards and targets, resources, characteristics of implementing organizations, inter-organizational communication, implementer disposition, and social, economic, and political environments. A total of 15 informants were determined purposively with the criteria of being involved in the preparation of Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019, involved in victim recovery, and representing the pentahelix of informants (local government, community, mass media, business actors, and academics). Data were collected in January-December 2024 through in-depth interviews, observations, and analysis of documents related to the policy. The results of the study show that Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019 is an important instrument in protecting women and children from post-disaster violence. However, its implementation in Palu City has not been optimal due to weak socialization, limited resources, the absence of a women and children protection UPTD in the city, and the absence of comprehensive and integrated Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs). Short-term handling priorities include socialization, basic training, activation of integrated SOPs, and establishing cross-sector coordination forums. Medium-long term strategies include the establishment of a Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA UPTD) in the city, incentive-based human resource strengthening, partnerships with non-governmental institutions, and periodic monitoring and evaluation.
