This study aims to analyze the implementation of Public Social Partnership in the Rumah Perlindungan dan Trauma Center (RPTC) program in Makassar City as an effort to enhance the responsiveness in handling Persons with Social Welfare Problems (PMKS). This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and document review. Data analysis was conducted through the processes of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the implementation of Public Social Partnership in the RPTC program, based on the framework proposed by Mazzei et al. (2018), has not been fully optimal. Several indicators have been implemented effectively, including flexibility in program execution through comprehensive assessment stages, involvement of service users, and budget allocation. However, several aspects still require improvement, particularly in leadership, partnership formalization, strengthening collaboration, and efforts to overcome silo practices. Although communication among actors is relatively effective, coordination between the Makassar City Social Service and its partners remains inconsistent, and silo-breaking strategies have not been evenly implemented across all partner institutions.
