This study aims to analyze the components of the SIMURP program and its effectiveness in the implementation of climate-smart agriculture for wetland rice farmers in Konawe District. This research was conducted in June 2024 in Lambuya Sub-district and Uepai Sub-district. The sample in this study was 76 wet-rice farmers consisting of 37 people in Lambuya District and 39 people in Uepai District. The type of data used was descriptive quantitative and qualitative. It was obtained from observation, survey using questionnaires and interviews, as well as document analysis/secondary data. The results showed that there are 8 components of the SIMURP program running in the research location, namely: water-saving technology through intermittent irrigation systems/Alternate Wet and Drying (AWD)/macak-macak, balanced fertilization, use of superior seed varieties, use of organic materials for making organic fertilizer, jajar legowo rice cultivation system, application of integrated plant pest organism (OPT) control, use of the planting calendar system (KATAM), and measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The SIMURP program in Lambuya and Uepai sub-districts showed a medium category based on farmers' responses to the eight components, with the role of extension workers also rated medium. AWD technology is effective for soil moisture, but crop damage mitigation needs improvement. Balanced fertilization and improved varieties are accepted, despite dosage and quality challenges. The use of organic matter reduces dependence on chemical fertilizers, but accessibility needs to be improved. The jajar legowo system is less popular than the direct planting method, while pest control and KATAM need improved effectiveness and assistance. Understanding of greenhouse gas emissions is still low, indicating the need for further education. Farmers' knowledge and skill levels of the SIMURP program are categorized as moderate.
