Analysis of the Normative Disharmony in the Regulation of Village Fund Priorities for the Food Security Sector from the Perspecrive of the Hierarchy of Laws and Regulations

Strengthening food security has become one of the national development priorities, as reflected in the policy of allocating Village Funds to support village food security programs in 2025. However, the implementation of this policy has encountered legal issues due to the existence of various regulations governing similar subject matters with different characteristics and positions within the hierarchy of laws and regulations. This condition has resulted in normative disharmony, which creates legal uncertainty for village governments in determining the legal basis for budget allocation, program implementation, as well as accountability and supervision mechanisms. This study aims to analyze the regulatory disharmony in the allocation of village food security budgets in 2025 and examine the juridical implications of unclear accountability and supervision mechanisms on the effectiveness of village food security programs. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches. The findings reveal that the existing regulations on village food security have not been fully harmonized, resulting in inconsistencies concerning budget allocation, authority, and supervision mechanisms. These conditions weaken legal certainty and hinder the effective implementation of the program. Therefore, regulatory harmonization, inter-institutional policy alignment, and the strengthening of accountability mechanisms are required to establish accountable Village Fund governance.
