This study diagnoses the systemic failure of institutionalization in child protection policies in Bondowoso Regency and formulates a strategic collaborative governance model to address policy fragmentation. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with DINSOS P3AKB, Edellweis NGO, and the Children's Forum. Empirical findings reveal that collaboration remains trapped in a 'dualism of systems,' where reactive and ad-hoc informal networks dominate over stagnant formal hierarchies, leading to chronic data fragmentation and overlapping roles. To resolve this, the study proposes an 'Institutionalized System-Based Collaborative Governance Model' centered on four integrated pillars: (1) strengthening formal collaboration forums, (2) synchronizing digital data systems, (3) codifying joint Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and (4) enhancing cross-sectoral resource capacity. This model transforms fragile interpersonal coordination into a resilient institutional framework, offering a transferable solution for local governments facing similar administrative fragmentation.
