Sustainable Solutions to Poverty: Is BLT Truly a Pro-poor Policy?
No full textStructural poverty has been an ongoing issue that plagues Indonesia. The situation worsened during the COVID-19 era, revealing the social inequity between lower-class and higher-class citizens, and creating an urgency for the Indonesian government to implement a policy approach oriented towards the needs of the impoverished community (pro-poor policy). A government aid program was created to tackle this issue in the form of an unconditional cash program called Direct Cash Transfers (BLT). However, the sustainability of this program as a long-term solution was put into question. This study aims to solve whether BLT is truly a sustainable pro-poor approach to poverty. Various literature reviews would be used to formulate a conceptual framework to define pro-poor policies. Based on secondary data analysis, BLT is found to lean towards a viral-based policy rather than a pro-poor policy. The success of BLT implementation is often misused and weaponized for politicians’ private agendas and fails to create lasting effects and independence within the lower-class communities, trapping vulnerable people in the poverty cycle. The inability of the BLT program to provide access to various assets for its citizens and its hasty creation cemented the conclusion that BLT is not a pro-poor policy
Analysis of Improving Instructor Competence in Supporting the Achievement of Organizational Goals in the Industrial Development Job Training Center
No full textThis research aims to determine strategies for increasing instructor competency in supporting organizational tasks at The Center for Job Training and Industrial Development (PPKPI). This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews with the Functional Instructor and the Head of the Jakarta PPKPI Competency Test Implementation and Training Unit. The results review the competency aspects of three sub-aspects from Edison, Anwar, and Komariyah (2020), namely knowledge, skills and attitude. In general, the competency aspect for improving instructor competency is good, but there are obstacles in realizing instructor competency to be able to achieve PPKPI’s tasks, namely carrying out job training in the fields of industry, commerce, and various vocational fields. To maximize the increase in instructor competency, it is recommended that the central government, especially the Ministry of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia, routinely check instructor competency, especially in basic instructor training, and inspect practical training facilities to support the teaching and learning process
Financial Feasibility Analysis and Consumer Preferences on Local Food Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
No full textLocal processed food products represent a key component of culinary tourism, with the potential to attract visitors and support regional economies. Boyolali Regency in Central Java, widely known as the city of milk, is also a rich producer of diverse fruits, vegetables, and tubers. However, despite this agricultural diversity, the development of high-potential local food products remains limited, even among existing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study aims to assess the business feasibility of local food SMEs in Boyolali Regency using financial indicators such as payback period, Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). To complement the financial analysis, a hedonic test and consumer purchase interest survey were conducted to identify consumer preferences. The findings indicate strong business feasibility: 81% of SMEs achieved a payback period of less than two years, while the remaining 19% had payback periods under four years. All SMEs recorded positive NPVs and IRRs above 50%. Among the 21 SMEs, five standout products emerged based on consumer preference, namely brownies (Eliztha), celery eggrolls (Indhifaz), “onde-onde” (Onde-Onde Bu Is), peanut rempeyek (Yuni Snack), and gluten-free cookies (Wedang Juminten). The five SMEs also demonstrated strong financial performance with NPV ranging from IDR 110 million to over IDR 350 million, payback periods between 6 to 22 months, and IRR ranging from 54.2% to 187.8%
Fodder Crop Integration in Forest Management as a Strategy for Strengthening Community Livelihoods and ESG Alignment
No full textCommunity forest management through agroforestry-based cooperatives plays a vital role in advancing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives. This capstone project, a collaboration between the Research Team from Universitas Gadjah Mada and PT Kutai Timber Indonesia, explored how community forest cooperatives can enhance productivity within the Bromo Mandiri Cooperative in Ngepung Village, Sukapura, Probolinggo. The project proposed integrating biopharmaceutical plants and dwarf elephant grass for animal feed into the agroforestry system, offering potential environmental, social, and economic benefits. Using a participatory approach and principles of sustainable governance, the cooperative can improve farmer welfare, protect ecosystems, and build a more efficient production system. The findings demonstrate that ESG principles can be effectively integrated into cooperative strategies to promote food security and ecological sustainability
Governing Extreme Poverty at the Local Level: A Thematic Network Study from Jeneponto, Indonesia
No full textThis study examines the dynamics of local governance in extreme poverty alleviation efforts in Jeneponto District, Indonesia, one of the national priority areas for accelerating the eradication of extreme poverty. Using a qualitative case study approach, this study integrates document analysis and in-depth interviews with stakeholders from local government and the community. The analysis process was conducted using Atlas. Ti software version 23 through a word frequency approach and thematic network mapping to visualize patterns of relations between actors, institutions, and governance mechanisms. Key findings identify seven interrelated thematic clusters: 1. Planning and policy frameworks. 2. Program implementation and evaluation. 3. Cross-sector collaboration. 4. Contextual innovation and solutions. 5. Public communication and participation. 6. Data governance. 7. Structural barriers. Although planning documents formally prioritize poverty alleviation, the absence of a specific nomenclature for “extreme poverty,” fragmentation of data systems, and institutional rigidities have hampered program effectiveness. Local innovation has not been integrated into the formal planning system, while sectoral egos and weak coordination structures hamper collaboration between sectors. This study enriches the theoretical discourse on integrative and adaptive governance by showing how institutional fragmentation, low data interoperability, and limited participatory mechanisms limit the capacity of local responses to the complexities of extreme poverty. Key recommendations include institutionalizing innovation, building integrated data systems across sectors, and strengthening inclusive, evidence-based, and reflective governance of socio-economic vulnerabilities at the local level
Key Drivers of Stakeholder Collaboration in Developing Kitesurfing Tourism in Jeneponto
No full textThis study explores the role of leadership, incentives, interdependence, and uncertainty in shaping stakeholder collaboration in the development of a kitesurfing tourism destination in Jeneponto District, South Sulawesi. Its aim is to understand how these key drivers influence the collaborative governance processes among local government, the private sector, and local communities. Through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, the study identifies the significant roles of these factors in fostering effective collaboration and decision-making in tourism development. This study uses a qualitative research design and semi-structured interviews to capture the perspectives of key stakeholders involved in the development of the tourism destination. The results reveal that leadership plays a crucial role in coordinating stakeholder efforts, ensuring transparency, and facilitating decision-making. Incentives, both internal and external, motivate stakeholder participation, while interdependence among stakeholders creates mutual reliance and enhances collaboration. Finally, the research demonstrates that uncertainty, particularly regarding economic outcomes and resource allocation, can be mitigated through effective leadership and adaptive governance strategies. The findings have important implications for tourism development in rural and underdeveloped regions, emphasizing the need for inclusive, collaborative decision-making processes, the alignment of stakeholder interests, and the management of uncertainty. The study contributes to the broader understanding of collaborative governance in tourism development and provides valuable insights for future projects seeking to foster sustainable, community-driven tourism initiatives
Public-private Partnership in the Governance of Koa-Koa Beach Tourism, Pasangkayu Regency
No full textThis study investigates the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in enhancing tourism governance at Koa-Koa beach, located in the peripheral region of Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi. Despite its ecological and cultural richness, the area faces developmental stagnation due to inadequate infrastructure, fragmented institutional coordination, and limited engagement from both private sectors and local communities. Employing a qualitative-descriptive methodology, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 18 stakeholders, field observations, and document analysis. Key challenges identified include regulatory ambiguities, overlapping institutional responsibilities, insufficient stakeholder incentives, and low institutional capacity. Drawing lessons from successful PPP implementations in Malaysia and the Philippines, this study proposes a context-sensitive governance framework centered on transparency, shared accountability, equitable risk distribution, and inclusive participation. Findings demonstrate that well-structured PPPs can bridge infrastructure and funding gaps, promote sustainable tourism, safeguard environmental and cultural assets, and stimulate inclusive economic growth. Recommendations emphasize the need to build institutional trust, establish operational guidelines, and enhance legal clarity to facilitate PPP implementation in underdeveloped regions
Policy Capacity Based on Disaster Mitigation in West Sulawesi
No full textThis study aims to analyze the policy capacity from the institutional, regulatory, technical, and participatory aspects implemented by the government based on disaster mitigation in West Sulawesi. It uses a qualitative descriptive approach to explain regional policy capacity exploration in disaster mitigation case studies. The study was conducted at Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) and Regional Device Organization (OPD) related to disaster mitigation. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, in-depth interviews with informants, and literature studies. They were then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman approach, which consists of data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusion. The results found that the capacity of mitigation-based policies still faces challenges in four main aspects: institutional, regulatory, technical, and participatory. Institutionally, formal structures such as BPBD and related OPDs, coordination, human resources, and inter-agency roles still need to be strengthened. Regulations have not been implemented in a contextual, practical, and integrated manner with regional development planning. Technically, there are still weaknesses in the limitations of facilities, infrastructure, and the use of technology in supporting operations for mitigation activities. Community participation is also not optimal in terms of awareness, active involvement, and ongoing education. Policy recommendations can be submitted, including recommendztions to strengthen local institutions by increasing institutional capacity through periodic human resources training, strengthen cross-sector coordination systems, and establish work units that are adaptive and responsive to the dynamics of disaster risk
Promoting Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Public Sector Human Resource Management: A Study of the Asmat Regency Government
No full textOrganizational citizenship behavior (OCB) plays a significant role in enhancing the performance and responsiveness of public institutions. In the context of regional government, especially in remote areas like Asmat Regency, the cultivation of OCB among civil servants is crucial for delivering effective public services. This study explores the promotion of OCB within the framework of human resource management (HRM) in the public sector, focusing on how the Government of Asmat Regency develops, encourages, and sustains OCB among its personnel. Using a qualitative approach, this research analyzes managerial strategies, institutional culture, leadership influence, and employee motivation as key factors influencing OCB. The findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of HR policies that align with local needs while fostering voluntary, collaborative, and civic-minded behaviors in government employees
