The COVID-19 pandemic brought changes to the definition of PJAS and altered communication patterns in program delivery. This study evaluates the success of the program implemented by the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta during the pandemic. It identifies factors inhibiting its effectiveness through a communication audit. The research used an evaluative qualitative method involving interviews with informants to assess planning and preparation and surveys with school community respondents to evaluate program The study followed the General Guidelines for Communication Audits in Government Agencies. Results indicate that the program was effectively implemented and can be enhanced by improving communication dimensions. Key strategies include strengthening message delivery through direct engagement with policymakers, expanding media use by adding hardcopy materials, improving message clarity with comprehensive posters detailing program stages, and fostering public feedback through information sharing and participation mechanisms, particularly at junior and senior high school levels. Additionally, expanding promotional media can further optimize program outreach. The communication audit concluded that the PJAS Safety Intervention Program successfully met its objectives through effective management with minor, manageable obstacles. These findings suggest that the program can continue with improved communication strategies to enhance its impact.

Program Intervensi Keamanan Pangan Jajanan Anak Sekolah. Balai Besar POM Introduction Law No. 18/2012 on Food states that food is the most important basic human need. Fulfilling it is part of the human rights guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution, and the state must realize the fulfilment of safe, quality, and nutritious food consumption. Children are one of the most important groups to consider. They are the nation's next generation that will determine the quality of a country, so the state must ensure the safety of the food they consume to grow into a superior generation. At the same time, the productive children group is schoolchildren. The consumption habits of schoolchildren are food snacks obtained from school canteens and traders around the school. During the pandemic. PJAS was redefined. Originally. PJAS was obtained only from canteens and traders around schools. Now. PJAS can be obtained from channels at schools, neighbourhoods around schools, homes, and/or e-commerce, always and anytime, at school and home, or other places. Behavioural habits during snack time have also changed with the implementation of health protocols. If before the pandemic, the habit was enough to wash hands, it is added to wearing a mask, maintaining distance, reducing mobility, and staying away from crowds. The Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (Indonesian FDA) has surveyed school snacks that are often consumed and are still problematic, such as the group of coloured drinks from powdered beverages, syrups, ice groups . ce mambo, lollipops, ice candles, ice cendol, ice mix, ice grass jelly, ice coconut, and ice te. , jelly groups, jelly or gel products and cotton candy, and meatballs, pentol, siomay, batagor, cilok groups (BPOM, 2. The condition of PJAS in Yogyakarta based on the results of Indonesian FDA supervision in Yogyakarta in 2020, by testing chemical and/or microbiological parameters on 16 PJAS samples, showed that 13 samples met the requirements (MS) . 25%) and three samples did not meet the criteria (TMS) . 75%). The TMS samples consisted of 2 TMS samples of microbiological parameters (Annual Report of Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta, 2. As one of the technical implementation units (UPT) of the Indonesian FDA in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY), the Indonesian FDA Regional Office in Yogyakarta is committed to supporting the President's Vision and Mission, namely in efforts to prevent non-communicable diseases and reduce stunting rates, one of which is through the School Snack Food Safety Intervention Program (PJAS). PJAS Safety Intervention Program communication activities include cross-sector advocacy, food safety socialization, food safety technical guidance for school food safety cadres, provision of PJAS food safety education packages, monitoring of school food safety Wulandari.

The program covers schools from elementary school (SD) level to senior high school (SMA) level. Several studies on communication audits of government programs have been conducted, including those by Trisnawati F et al. in 2019, which conducted an audit of the Jogja Learning Culture Program. The results of the input stage audit have gone well according to procedures, but there is still an understanding of the program that is not in line with planning. The output stage is considered smooth, although some obstacles are still At the outcome stage, it was found that the big goals of the program had not been achieved as expected, as the program's benefits were minimal (Trisnawati F. Lestari P. Prayudi, 2. Yeni Jelita's 2017 research states that communication audits are carried out internally and externally. Internally, they are done in planning and preparing using the Organizational Communication Profile technique. External communication audits are conducted by looking at public responses to implementing the Stop Drugs campaign. This aligns with the information theory used to see the flow of information in the organization, which is run by the characteristics of the people in Sergai Regency (Yeni Jelita, 2. The qualitative approach is based on the dimensions of communication in the internal and external parts according to the General Guidelines for Communication Audits within Government Agencies in the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (PermenpanRB) Number 27 of 2011. The difference with previous research is that this study conducted a communication audit using mixed methods during the COVID-19 Pandemic crisis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the success of the PJAS Safety Intervention Program implemented by the Indonesian FDA Regional Office in Yogyakarta during the COVID-19 Pandemic and what factors hinder the program based on the results of the communication audit. The scope of the communication audit covers schools that were intervened by the PJAS Safety Program by the Indonesian FDA Regional Office in Yogyakarta in 2020 and 2021. As a study and approach, a communication audit is an in-depth and comprehensive study of implementing organizational communication systems that aim to increase organizational effectiveness. A communication audit is an analysis, assessment, and in-depth understanding of the organizationAos overall system and process of internal-external communication or specific programs to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and other benefits. According to Wilbur Schramm, a communication process must have at least three components: source, message, and receiver. Meanwhile, according to Harold Laswell, the components of a communication process are the source, message, channel, receiver, and Communication audits in Indonesia have been regulated in the General Guidelines for Communication Audits within Government Agencies as stipulated in the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (PermenpanRB) Number 27 of 2011. The guidelines state that communication audits are conducted on 14 . dimensions of communication. In this study, researchers used 5 . dimensions that have the most influence on the program's implementation: the message delivery process, the communication model established between government Wulandari.

Evaluation research is used to see and analyze program performance as well as to analyze program success. This research uses structured interviews, questionnaire surveys, and document studies based on the dimensions of communication in PermenpanRB number 27 of 2011, namely the process of delivering messages, the communication model established between government agencies and their public, communication media, clarity of message meaning, and public feedback. Informant interviews were conducted to explore program planning and preparation, and school community surveys were conducted to see responses to program implementation. This study's evaluation target . is the PJAS Safety Intervention Program implemented by the Indonesian FDA Regional Office in Yogyakarta during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely 2020 and 2021. This study collected primary data through interviews and surveys, while secondary data were collected from books, reports, and terms of reference. Qualitative data is descriptive narratives from document studies and interviews with 12 internal . all officer. and external . ross-sector and school communit. resource persons/informants. Quantitative data is numerical data from a survey of 132 school community respondents . rincipals, teachers, students, school committees, canteen workers. The sample size was calculated using the Slovin Formula, and the sampling technique was used using simple random techniques. The subjects of this study are informants and respondents involved in the PJAS Safety Intervention Program of the Indonesian FDA Regional Office in Yogyakarta. Informants were selected purposively, namely, parties with a wealth of information and can provide information about implementing the PJAS Safety Intervention Program, especially those implemented during the COVID-19 Pandemic. As a reinforcement of information, in addition to interviews with informants, a survey was also conducted with a questionnaire to Randomly selected respondents are school communities exposed to the PJAS Safety Intervention Program in 2020 and 2021. To increase the trustworthiness of the communication audit conducted, researchers delivered the results to program planners for follow-up. This valid communication audit can continuously improve program performance during the pandemic and the new normal era.

There has been a selection of communication media and adjustments. for example, kulwhap is chosen for delivering material to participants who are far away and have signal constraints, while technical guidance that requires detailed explanations is carried out offline. Technical guidelines are available for each stage of activities, but there are no general guidelines in the form of a book that contains comprehensive guidelines for program activities from A to Z. The design of communication media has been attractive by adjusting to the target audience's characteristics, primarily children. The pre-post and activity questionnaires showed an increase in scores. The message/content of the material was explicit enough, according to the objectives to be achieved, and it was easy for participants to understand and apply. The material has been adapted to the pandemic conditions/redefinition of PJAS, including snacks consumed by children at school, in the neighborhood, and at ecommerce. There was a slight distortion of the message, namely that some participants did not understand the program's purpose . ommunity empowermen. , thinking that capital assistance was also provided to build a school canteen. Materials and surveys were delivered in hardcopy and softcopy. some participants had difficulty understanding the material in softcopy (Googl. All participants have implemented food safety practices and conducted follow-up actions after attending the program. Some schools volunteer to replicate unintervised schools. Schools that innovate in PJAS safety are included in national-level competitions. The elementary school level has received national achievements, while the junior and senior high school levels have not. Internal communication runs smoothly under one coordinator, while communication with the public runs smoothly through social media and WhatsApp groups. Officers are open to receiving suggestions from questionnaires, evaluating activities, and paying attention to PPKM policies. There was a slight disruption of internal communication in the form of scheduling officers who clashed with other activities. besides that, the program's implementation sometimes retreated due to changes in the technical guidelines. A slight disruption in external communication comes from the changing PPKM Wulandari. Basuki Agus Suparno. Prayudi Wulandari Wulandari. Agus Suparno.

According to Yasir in Introduction to Communication Science, a communicator must have communication skills. A good communicator must possess general communication skills, namely listening and reading . eceptive or receptive abilit. and speaking and writing skills . roducing or productive abilit. In addition, a communicator must also have wealth in the form of insight or ideas and be full of creativity. To achieve success, communicators must consider three characteristics: credibility, attractiveness, and power (Yasir, 2. Communicators who are used as messengers in the PJAS Safety Intervention Program have expertise in drugs and food, namely having educational backgrounds of pharmaceutical graduates, food technology graduates, and public health graduates who know how to choose safe medicines and food for consumption. This expertise makes cadres and school communities, as recipients of messages, believe in the team's integrity (Badan POM, 2. Communicators in this program are hall officers with more than 2 . years of experience implementing the program. The primary communicator and the person in charge have experience implementing the program since 2019. Based on the evaluation of the dimensions of the message delivery process, communicators in the PJAS Safety Intervention Program have met the criteria of good communicators, namely, having good communication skills, credibility, attractiveness, and power. In the dimension of communication media, in the process of extension or program delivery, it is an extension tool that serves as an intermediary to connect the extension agent with the target so that the message or information will be more precise. According to Dayana in Extension Communication and Innovation Adoption states that in extension, various media or extension aids are known, such as objects . amples, models, imitation. , printed matter . rochures, leaflets, books, posters, and comic. , projected images . lides, films, video. and graphical symbols in the form of graphs, maps, and so on (Dayana, 2. Based on the term of reference (TOR) of the PJAS Safety Intervention Program published by the Food and Drug Administration, food safety education packages can be provided through printed and digital materials, such as food safety education games.

Educational Game of Food Safety Snakes and Ladders. Banners Check KLIK and 5 . Keys to Food Safety, gimmicks and school canteen sanitation hygiene equipment . prons, hats, masks, food tongs, glove. Based on researchers' observations, some schools have difficulty accessing materials and surveys in softcopy on Google Drive or links that are not easy to understand, so they need to be made in hardcopy. The method of implementing socialization and technical guidance is carried out using online methods . ebinars, zoom meetings, kulwhap, and kulgra. or face-to-face by paying attention to health protocols and or a combination of both according to the development of COVID-19 Pandemic zoning conditions according to each district/city in DIY. The methods used are presentations, simulations, and discussions. Achieving effective communication is not an easy process in the dimension of clarity of message meaning. In addition to the communicator, the form and technique of presenting the message are also factors that determine the success of the persuasion efforts. The clarity of the message's meaning must be arranged so that there is no gap of doubt in conveying. The message structure is needed to organize the messages to be communicated. Messages to be delivered by PJAS Safety Intervention Program communicators are prepared through field technical instructions. Through technical guidelines, it is known that messages will be prepared and delivered in all stages of the program. Based on the evaluation results on the dimension of clarity of message meaning, the PJAS Safety Intervention Program has fulfilled the aspects of message authenticity . , mode, physical character, message preparation, and novelty, as stated by Liliweri in Multipurpose Communication. The message in the program, in the form of material content, is relatively straightforward, and the objectives are to be achieved, and participants easily understand it. Participants can understand the messages conveyed and then apply them without significant distortion or deviation of messages (Liliweri, 2. Some participants have even forwarded their knowledge to other schools not exposed to the program. Participants' understanding is measured based on the results of filling out questionnaires and the increase in knowledge from each activity's pre and post-test scores. The material is very much in line with the program objectives, which are to empower the school community and has been adapted to the pandemic conditions and the redefinition of PJAS, which includes snacks consumed by children at school, in the residential environment, and e-commerce. According to the TOR, participants quickly understood the material because they were exposed to it several times during each stage. However, there was a slight distortion of the message, namely, not understanding the program's purpose, namely, community Some thought that capital assistance was also given to build a school canteen. In the feedback dimension, the impact and benefit of this program are to increase the independence of the school community and ensure the fulfilment of PJAS needs to be consumed in safe, quality, and nutritious conditions.

Achievements that have been made at the national level in the last 2 . years are the first winner of the POM Safe Food School Competition in 2019 by SD Muhammadiyah Condong Catur Sleman and the third winner of the POM Committed and Innovative School Competition in 2020 by SDN Krapyak Wetan Bantul. The number of schools that have been intervened A. B and C by Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta from 2011 to 2020 are Sleman Regency with 300 . 71%) schools. Bantul Regency with 262 . 18%) schools. Gunungkidul Regency with 452 . 37%) schools. Kulon Progo Regency with 195 . 69%) schools Yogyakarta City with 164 . %) schools. Feedback determines the success of communication and can illustrate whether communication is going well. The feedback dimension of the PJAS Safety Intervention Program has met the criteria, which include Audience Coverage. Audience Response. Communication Impact, and Process of Influence, as stated by Suryanto in Introduction to Communication Science (Suryanto, 2. The intensive interaction between hall officers and participants through Whatshap groups increases the response or feedback from participants. this is in line with the theory of interpersonal communication, which states that the delivery of messages by one person and the recipient of other messages or a small group of people has various impacts and opportunities to provide immediate feedback. The results of supervision through PJAS testing by the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta show that in 2021, the number of PJAS that do not meet the requirements has decreased compared to 2020. The PJAS Safety Intervention Program in DIY has successfully achieved several quality targets. However, the success of the PJAS Safety Intervention Program can still be improved in terms of the number and quality of distribution and the type of school . ublic schools and religious-based school. Regarding the number and quality of distribution. Yogyakarta City. Bantul Regency, and Sleman Regency still dominate, compared to Gunungkidul and Kulon Progo Regencies. More intensive communication efforts are needed so that other districts can increase their participation in the PJAS Safety Intervention Program, for example, by holding special activities in the targeted districts or conducting special hearings with the leaders of the agencies where the schools are based, namely the Education Office and the Ministry of Religious Affairs. In the dimension of the BBPOM communication model in Yogyakarta with the public, the evaluation results in general, the program can be carried out well as planned. Based on the report on the PJAS Safety Intervention Program of the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta in 2021, the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority Regional Office in Yogyakarta carried out program supervision implemented the previous This supervision stage is carried out to ensure that schools that intervened in the last year remain committed to implementing food safety practices. Schools that remain committed to implementing food safety practices can be issued Level 2 Safe PJAS Certificates. The communication model in this PJAS Safety Intervention Program is a two-way communication model in the internal part and community empowerment communication in the external part. The community empowerment communication referred to here is the Wulandari. Basuki Agus Suparno. Prayudi Wulandari Wulandari. Agus Suparno.

According to Indardi in Community Empowerment Communication, community empowerment communication is a more focused study of development communication. Community empowerment communication is a study of communication in development activities emphasizing the importance of community involvement or community participation. Communication processes in community empowerment emphasize transactional and interactive processes rather than linear ones (Indardi, 2016, pp. The communication model of community empowerment in the PJAS Safety Intervention Program strengthens previous research entitled Children and School Snacks: School Children Health Empowerment Program in the Perspective of Local Government, conducted by Triwijayati et al. , which states that empowering children to consume snacks at school is an effort to ensure that children can make informed consumption decisions and are protected from the dangers of unhealthy snacks (Triwijayati. et al. , 2. Based on the results of this study, a follow-up was carried out in the form of: Schedule the PJAS Safety Intervention Program, systematically implementing officers with other program-implementing officers so there are no clashes.

The obstacles that arise are insignificant and can be resolved with good management. Factors that inhibit the program include some parties still lacking awareness of the importance of inter-institutional communication, community participation in the habits and mindset of the importance of safe snacks, uneven compliance with policies, and still limited access to information/technology in some areas. Based on the study's results, the following recommendations can be made to improve the program's implementation: On the internal side, information related to the PJAS Food Safety Intervention Program can be conveyed directly to policymakers. Comprehensive guidelines or posters containing a summary of the program are necessary. On the external side, sharing achievements and equalizing targets is essential. A follow-up communication audit is required to be conducted on implementing the PJAS Safety Intervention Program, which has implemented the recommendations from this study.
