Policy Capacity Implementation at the Organizational Level in Indonesian Air Force Academy

Policy capacity has been used in many organizations, including IDAFA, and continuously implemented to adopt education regulations because it is adaptive to IDAFA’s special and unique character. This article discusses policy capacity at the organizational level to maintain quality with an outcome of the best accreditation. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative methodology. Its qualitative essence lies in collecting naturalistic data aimed at elucidating present phenomena through narrative descriptions and participant perspectives using powerful tools, which is the theory of public policy proposed by Xun Wu et al. This article’s result is evident that the implementation of the policy capacity framework is crucial as an adaptive strategy to achieve effective Accreditation of Academic Units (AAU). This is exemplified by the highest accreditation status, “Unggul,” attained by universities. The result is expected to contribute significantly to IDAFA and other similar higher education.
