Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menganalisis efektivitas program perlindungan anak di kota Yogyakarta dan faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi efektivitas dan ketidakefektifan program perlindungan anak di Kota Yogyakarta. Menggunakan indikator efektivitas program oleh Ivancevich et al (2013) Quality, Productivity, Efficiency, Satisfaction, Adaptiveness and Development. Didukung oleh faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas yang digagas oleh Griffin (2012) berupa lingkungan internal dan eksternal. Indikator yang dikaji program perlindungan anak di kota Yogyakarta belum dilaksanakan secara efektif. Mengakibatkan tingginya angka kekerasan terhadap anak dalam berbagai hal seperti kehamilan yang tidak diinginkan, kekerasan terhadap anak dan oleh anak, dsb. Kualitas sumber daya manusia yang dinilai memprihatinkan, beban kerja pegawai di Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat, Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak Kota Yogyakarta yang berlebih. Keterbatasan anggaran juga terjadi pada program perlindungan anak terutama pada masa pandemi Covid-19. Beberapa tindakan yang diperlukan tidak dianggarkan, mitra yang tidak dapat diandalkan mengakibatkan peningkatan beban kerja. Ada tanda-tanda kurangnya kesadaran, yang mengakibatkan kurangnya partisipasi masyarakat, kurangnya penghargaan yang didapat pihak dinas. Rekomendasi yang diajukan adalah, lebih difokuskan pada sumber daya manusia dan melakukan pelatihan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan seseorang.

The human resources quality is considered alarming, the over workload of employees at the Yogyakarta City Office for Community Empowerment, Women and Child Protection. Budget constraints also occur in child protection programs especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Several necessary actions were not budgeted, unreliable partners resulted in an increased workload. There were signs of lack of awareness, resulting in less participation, lack of appreciation.
