CHAPTER 5

DEFINITION OF PLANNED CHANGE

Planners as well as transformation actors are both terms used to describe initiatives
performed by the governments. Assisting the community or perhaps the specific populations in
achieving their development strategic goals. All sectors and areas are involved in the
implementation of national plans for social transformation, including the economic, sociological,
moral, and political aspects of education as well as those related to the construction of the
infrastructures and the healthcare industry.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF POLICY MAKERS

As even the protector of the people, governments in developing countries have a

commitment aimed at providing services to the people, especially if they are exceedingly expensive
but also generate hardly any payback. Using appropriate public policies, the government needs to
make the most of its scarce resources by planning them effective and efficient manner.

The first responsibility of policy makers is they have to evaluate and make decisions about
development strategies. Since the policies creator should currently possess a checklist of things that
need to be processed, the policy creator gets to choose among that listing. All organizations in some
kind of a state can legally be instructed by guidelines established as well as authorized by the policy
creator. For instance, it is possible that political leaders are drawn from a variety of sources including
government, business, non-profit groups, as well as the general people. This means that in terms of
policy framework, the government takes on a central role.

Pursuing this further, the second responsibility is they are In charge of the state's growth
approach and its effects. The priority on progress is also relevant with current world politics. The
attitudes of policymakers and bureaucrats are frequently driven by different causes, particularly
those from the west. As an instance, the country's reserves would have been given to sectors of the
economy which might generate a significant fixed costs on the western economic model. The
person's actual growth objective could be limited as a result. Effective implementation strategy as
well as its execution depend on peace and stability, which has grown increasingly important.
 Furthermore, the third responsibility of policy makers is they need to create a list of
development objectives and targets to help them achieve. In growth jargon, the administration is
indeed referred to as one of the change sponsor since it is the institution that starts as well as
determines to do something in the state. For instance, the Ministry of Education can list out the
development objectives in term of education that they want to achieve during online learning due to
the pandemic. He or she can initiate a change effort but also offer the resources needed to
accomplish something in addition to attain the desired results. This word refers to a governmental or
change sponsor who agrees on even a strategy plus tells the bureaucrats to gather relevant data as
well as hand it back to the partner for assessment.

Finally, the last responsibility of policy makers is they have to establish a positive working
connection with both the change agents and the target groups in order to achieve success. Execution
will be the next phase throughout the policy process, though at this point, change agents are tasked
with translating the plan into development initiatives and strategies. Numerous associated criteria
are required for effective policy execution, most of them are beyond range and many others that
require creative thinking. Preparation of the target group usually by most the key critical elements to
evaluate even before policy can be developed.

TYPES OF CHANGE AGENTS

The first types of change agents are the bureaucracy. A bureaucracy is a massive corporation
distinguished by authority, very skilled labour division, and so forth. Civil servants, for instance, are
indeed the ones who really perform the task themselves. Bureaucrats are government employees,
while bureaucracy seems to be the structure in which officials work. They would then have to put in
a lot of work interpreting the policies into developmental initiatives as well as activities.

Pursuing this further, the second types of change agents are the secondary change agents.
Secondary change agents are those who provide assistance to the official change agents. Agents of
change are essential for identifying the requirements of target groups in terms of transformation.
For instance, the Village Development and Security Committee (JKKK) was formed with the primary
purpose of creating local representation in particular to launch better effective rural society
initiatives as well as to enhance the connection among government and indeed the rural society.
These individuals are also charged with the responsibility of establishing a strong connection with
the target audience. Also necessary is the identification of issues that target groups experience as
well as their objectives as well as possible solutions. Therefore, it is important to determine whether
or not the target groups are interested in or in need of transformation.
