Abstract

The shift in social service paradigms from a charity-based model to empowerment-based governance is critical for ensuring equal rights and independence for persons with disabilities. This study analyses the governance of the Rumah Hebat Disabilitas (REHAT) programme in Pasuruan City using the five dimensions of R.A.W. Rhodes' Network Governance framework: Interorganizational Networks, Interdependence, Resource Exchange, Trust, and Mutual Adjustment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, gathering data through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis with key stakeholders, including the Social Services Agency, REHAT managers, instructors, and beneficiaries. The findings reveal that REHAT has successfully fostered strong operational synergies, mutual adjustment, and social trust among local government actors and beneficiaries, effectively promoting vocational skills and self-reliance. However, structural governance weaknesses persist, particularly a significant supply chain gap due to the absence of permanent partnerships with the private sector for product marketing, alongside constraints in modern production technology and limited service coverage. To ensure programme sustainability, the study recommends establishing institutionalised Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) with commercial retail networks and expanding municipal funding to modernise production facilities.
