Analysis Quality Athlete Class Special Semarang City Sports (KKO) is being reviewed with Value For Money

Abstract

Introduction: Special Sports Class Program (KKO) Semarang city is one of the efforts of the local government in improving the quality of local athletes. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the KKO program for the period 2022-2024 using a Value for Money (VFM) approach which includes economic indicators, efficiency, and effectiveness. Methodology: the research method combines quantitative and qualitative approaches with data sources in the form of budget realization reports from the Semarang city budget, the achievements of athletes, interviews with relevant parties, and field observations. Data analysis was done descriptively using VFM ratio calculation. Results: the results showed that the program has an average effectiveness of 102% (very effective), efficiency of 87% (quite efficient), and the economy of 39% (uneconomical), where the economic aspect is low due to the high cost of procurement of national standard equipment. Discussions: the results show that the high effectiveness and efficiency is not enough to guarantee the achievement of the 3E principle as a whole if the economic aspect is not considered, so it needs a more optimal resource management strategy and cross-party collaboration. Conclusions: this study recommends optimizing procurement, sponsorship cooperation, and utilization of shared facilities to reduce costs without reducing quality, as well as being a methodological reference for evaluating public sector performance based on 3e principles in the field of sports.
