Abstract
This study aimed to analyze Collaborative Governance in handling livestock in Bongo Village, Batudaa Pantai Subdistrict, Gorontalo Regency. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The theory used was Collaborative Governance according to Ansell and Gash, which includes shared commitment, facilitative leadership, face-to-face dialogue, and institutional capacity. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study revealed that Collaborative Governance for livestock management in Bongo Village had been implemented but was not yet operating at its optimal level. Shared commitment had been established through socialization and cooperation among various parties; however, community compliance remained low. Facilitative leadership had been exercised through mediation and guidance, but had not addressed the problems comprehensively. Face-to-face dialogue had been conducted through deliberations and socialization, resulting in a Village Regulation on the Control of Livestock; however, its implementation had not been optimal. Meanwhile, institutional capacity remained constrained by the absence of a dedicated team, limited infrastructure and facilities, and budget constraints.
