Edward III dengan mengkaji empat variabel kebijakan yaitu komunikasi, sumber daya, disposisi, dan struktur birokrasi. Hasil penelitian berdasarkan teori tersebut menunjukkan bahwa implementasi kebijakan sudah berjalan sesuai yang diharapkan. Pada aspek komunikasi penyampaian informasi yang dijalankan sudah baik. Pada aspek disposisi pemerintah desa memiliki komitmen dan kemauan dalam menjalankan program. Namun, masih terdapat kendala pada aspek sumber daya manusia yakni masih kurang dalam memanajemen pelaksanaan program. Struktur birokrasi yakni koordinasi antar pelaksana masih belum optimal. Selain itu, komunikasi belum maksimal kepada sasaran program. Saran dalam penelitian ini adalah memaksimalkan komunikasi antara pihak pelaksana dan kelompok sasaran, memperhatikan sarana dan prasarana yang kurang memadai, serta mengadakan pelatihan bagi pelaksana yang belum melek teknologi.

One of the policies in the context of handling the Covid-19 pandemic is through the allocation of Village Funds. Village Fund allocation activities are adjusted to Permendesa Number 6 of 2020, namely the handling of Covid-19, Direct Village Fund Cash Assistance (BLT-DD), and Village Cash Intensive Work (PKTD). One the villages that used the Village Fund for Covid-19 was Sukowidodo Village, Karangrejo District, Tulungagung Regency. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods with data collection techniques include documentation, observation and interviews. The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the village fund policy in handling Covid-19 in Sukowidodo Village, Karangrejo District, Tulungagung Regency using the implementation theory of G. Edward III by examining four policy variables, communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The results of research based on this theory indicate that the implementation of the policy has been running as expected. In the aspect of communication, the delivery of information has been good. In terms of disposition, the village government has the commitment and willingness to implement the program. However, there are still obstacles in the aspect of human resources, the lack of program implementation management. The bureaucratic structure, namely coordination between implementers, is still not optimal. In addition, communication has not been maximized to the program targets. Suggestions in this study are to maximize communication between implementers and target groups, pay attention to inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and conduct training for implementers who are not technology literate.
