ANALISIS SWOT P4MI MALANG DALAM REPATRIASI PMI NON-PROSEDURAL DARI MALAYSIA TAHUN 2024-2026

Abstract

This study aims to examine the strategic position and operational performance of the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Service Post (P4MI) Malang in managing the repatriation ecosystem of non-procedural Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI) from Malaysia between 2024 and 2026. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with protection officers and secondary data analysis comprising literature reviews and related media coverage. The collected data were evaluated using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model and synthesized through Rangkuti’s SWOT Matrix framework to formulate strategic combinations. The findings indicate that P4MI Malang’s primary internal strengths lie in its responsive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for contingency situations and robust multi-level governance coordination with Indonesian diplomatic missions abroad (KBRI/KJRI). Nevertheless, systemic internal weaknesses persist, particularly regarding the low validity of initial administrative data from the non-procedural sector and difficulties in post-return tracking. Externally, these challenges are compounded by rigid and complex legal bureaucracies in destination countries alongside recurring economic push factors. Based on the SWOT matrix synthesis, this study recommends strategic actions, including maximizing digitalization through the Sisko P2MI platform, expanding formal partnerships with village governments for post-repatriation data updates, and shifting intervention focuses upstream through community-based socialization in origin areas.
