Floods are the most common disasters in Indonesia. In dealing with the threat of flooding, governance is needed to reduce risk. The IWRM concept is an approach to river basin management that has been implemented in Indonesia through Law number 17 of 2019 concerning Water Resources. However, in the law, there are no specific arrangements for joint management of transboundary river basin. The Sembakung river basin, which is a international transboundary river basin, experienced flooding and disrupted people's lives in the river basin. Based on this, transboundary river basin management is needed in the prevention and mitigation of floods so as to reduce the risk of flooding that occurs. This study aims to formulate transboundary river basin governance in the prevention and mitigation of floods in the Sembakung river basin. Data collection methods consist of primary and secondary data. Secondary data consists of government documents, journals and academic books. Then the primary data was obtained from an online interview process at 8 central government agencies and the Province of North Kalimantan. The analysis used in this study includes content analysis, descriptive analysis and Discourse Network Analysis (DNA) using the UCINET program. Based on the results of the analysis, the identification of the pattern of cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia in the Pokja Sosek Malindo that the Pokja Sosek Malindo which is an alternative to being a transboundary river basin organization has an inappropriate index because there is no human resource development, data and information management and finance. This requires setting up and developing an organization to become a forum for managing the Sembakung watershed in flood prevention and mitigation. Furthermore, in the identification of elements of river basin management in Indonesia and Malaysia, it is found that Indonesia is included in the index for river basin management that is quite appropriate, while Malaysia is included in the category of index for river basin management that is not suitable. The difference in this index is due to the absence of a national regulatory framework for watershed management for all states in Malaysia. A national water resources management regulatory framework needs to be developed and enforced in Malaysia to be an umbrella in the implementation of watershed governance. In addition, this regulatory framework also regulates what transboundary river basin governance looks like. In the understanding of the Sembakung river basin governance actors in prevention and mitigation seen in DNA based on the discourse and activities carried out, that in the role of actors is dominated by the public works sector. Then coordination is the discourse and activity that most appears and isiv carried out by the actors. Based on DNA in discourses and activities related to the structure, mandate, interests and resources of the Ministry of PUPR, BWS Kalimantan V and the PUPR-PERKIM Office of North Kalimantan Province are the actors who have the most discourse and activities. There are very few discourses and activities related to institutional forms that are discussed and carried out because Indonesia already has institutional arrangements within the scope of the Sesayap WS and the Sembakung river basin, namely the Kalimantan V BWS and the Mahakam Berau BP-DAS. Sembakung river basin flooding requires a cooperation agreement between Indonesia and Malaysia in cooperation with Sosek Malindo so that it can become the basis for managing flood prevention and mitigation. In addition, in implementing the agreement, arrangements are needed in the Sosek Malindo working group to be able to facilitate the organization of managing the Sembakung river basin together
