However, the implementation of deconcentration is not yet accountable. It is because of the inefficient planning, ineffective maximization of the fundings source in prioritising regional needs optimally. The obstacles in implementing the programs successfully are: (1) rationalization of budget from central government to local government; (2) delay in deconcentration reporting to KPPN Manado; (3) inadequate availability of supporting facilities of deconcentration program implementation; (4) ineffective guidance and supervision.

Namun penyelenggaraan dana dekonsentrasi belum akuntabel, hal ini dikarenakan perencanaan yang belum efektif dan efisien dalam memaksimalkan sumber dana secara optimal untuk memprioritaskan kebutuhan daerah. Hambatan keberhasilan program disebabkan : (1) proses rasionalisasi anggaran dari pemerintah pusat kepada pemerintah daerah; (2) masih adanya keterlambatan pelaporan dekonsentrasi ke KPPN Manado; (3) belum memadainya ketersediaan sarana dan prasarana penunjang pelaksanaan program dekonsentrasi; (4) pembinaan dan pengawasan dekonsentrasi yang belum efektif dalam pelaksanaannya. Hal tersebut menyebabkan target yang telah ditetapkan belum sesuai dengan pencapaian realisasi.Kata Kunci : Akuntabilitas, Pelimpahan Kewenangan, Dana Dekonsentrasi, Program Kerja

This article identified network characteristics critical for successful agricutural innovations within networks, or a set of interrelated organizations aiming at knowledge exchange for innovations. To explore key success factors, the research questioned how networks cope with innovation characteristics and combined network characteristics with four innovation characteristics in four agricultural sub-sectors. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with farmers and network coordinators and from focus group discussions with farmers active in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium. Factors particularly helpful for success in agricultural innovation networks include numerous contacts, integration of knowledge providers in the network structure, face-to-face communication, a self-initiated coalition and surpassing innovation beyond the mere agricultural level, through collaboration with people from outside the sector. The findings are useful for academics, network coordinators and network members, possibly leading to a higher innovation performance via networking.

Design/methodology/approach Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observations and documentary analysis. Findings The results of the integrative analysis show that the EFCC has apparently been ineffective, and further improvization of the organization is needed. Poor performance of the EFCC was associated with factors such as lack of commitment, inefficient judiciary, insufficient budgets and incompetent personnel. Practical implications This study recommends further improvements in the form of a greater political will, improved legal process and also elevated budgetary funds and recruitment of personnel to the EFCC. Originality/value The study adopted a descriptive, qualitative case study approach to describe the current state of the EFCC in Nigeria.
