Abstract

Corruption, particularly in the form of gratuities, remains a serious challenge in Indonesia's public governance. As a strategic agency that interacts directly with business actors and the public, the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) faces a relatively high risk of gratuity-related issues. Therefore, the effectiveness of the gratuity control system is a key element in preventing corruption and strengthening the principles of good governance within the DJBC environment. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gratuity Control System at DJBC using William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework, which encompasses six criteria: effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and appropriateness. The research utilizes literature and document studies on regulations, official reports from the Ministry of Finance and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), and relevant scientific publications. The study findings indicate that, normatively, DJBC has established a robust regulatory framework, including PMK Number 227/PMK.09/2021, the formation of the Gratuity Control Unit (UPG), and integration with the Government’s Internal Control System. A gratuity reporting system is also available and integrated with the KPK’s reporting mechanism. In terms of effectiveness and appropriateness, this policy has been relatively successful in increasing civil servants' awareness of the dangers of gratuities and fostering a culture of integrity. However, the study identifies several implementation challenges, such as a low rate of substantive gratuity reporting, a tendency toward purely administrative compliance, and disparities in understanding and capacity across different work units.Regarding responsiveness and adequacy, the gratuity control system still needs strengthening to address non-material and relational gratuity risks. Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening risk-based integrity development, enhancing continuous anti-gratuity literacy, optimizing the digitalization of reporting, and reinforcing internal monitoring and evaluation functions. With these improvements, the Gratuity Control System at DJBC is expected to function more effectively as an anti-corruption instrument, supporting the realization of clean, transparent, and accountable governance
