Abstract

This research aims to look at social networks through collaboration between stakeholders in implementing the Increasing the Role of Women towards Healthy and Prosperous Families (P2WKSS) program in Padang City. Data analysis was carried out using a mix method, namely descriptive qualitative and quantitative using social network analysis techniques with data processing using the UCInet application. The results of qualitative research show that the P2WKSS program is implemented in collaboration between various elements involving 6 stakeholders, namely the government through the Women's Empowerment Service, Child Protection, Population Control and Family Planning (DP3AP2KB), the business world, women's organizations, academics or professional practitioners, mass media and traditional leaders, so this form of collaboration is also known as Hexa Helix. Quantitative analysis shows that there has been 54% collaboration in the social network built with DP3AP2KB as the core element and determinant of implementing collaboration with a Betweenness Centrality value of 27.673. The non-government elements that have had a significant influence on success in implementing the P2WKSS program are traditional leaders through Bundo Kanduang with a Betweenness Centrality value of 20.004 because the people of Padang City still hold strong traditional values. This causes the level of obedience of the community, especially women, to traditional leaders Bundo Kanduang higher so that it is easier to accept every activity that is carried out.
