Youth Leadership Development through the Patriot Desa Program of West Java
Get PDFThe national Youth Development Index (YDI) is still fluctuating. One of the provinces with a lower percentage change in YDI than expected is West Java, which is at the bottom of the list. This is ironic considering that 20% of Indonesia's total youth reside in West Java. In fact, during period 2018-2023, many programs were launched which focused on youth development, such as Patriot Desa. The presence of the Patriot Desa Program did not make the value of Youth Participation and Leadership increase. Therefore, this research aims to find out how the Patriot Desa Program impacts youth leadership development in West Java. The methodology used in this research is qualitative with a case study approach. The research was conducted in Sukaharja and Sukamakmur Village, Sukamakmur Sub-district, Bogor Regency. Data collection techniques through interviews the representatives of the West Java DPMD, Patriot Desa, village secretaries, youth organizations, and local champions. The program followed by young people who became Patriot Desas was able to have an impact on the development of individual and social leadership. In particular, the village patriots who served in the research locations were highly dedicated with a self-sacrificing attitude and always collaborated with various parties, so that they were able to bring about changes in the village in social, economic and environmental aspects. However, these things are also inseparable from the influence of pre-deployment orientation and the role of the regional coordinator who is very supportive as a mentor. Youth involvement in community empowerment programs can be a means of developing youth leadership. Therefore, the government needs to involve more youth in other programs so that there is an increase in the domain value of youth participation and leadership

The first one exposes some outstanding theories on migration. The second one describes the methodology applied. The third one offers some personal experiences of migrants living in London. The fourth one presents some results about the main drivers of migrants to London, and finally some conclusions are offered, which consider that there are subtle causes of emigration which are usually underestimated, such as learning English as a personal achievement, acceptance of different sexual orientation, cultural diversity, and relative political stability are among the most representative
Poverty Linked to Government Performance: Insights from Maluku Barat Daya and Halmahera Timur, Indonesia
Get PDFThis study aims to uncover the connection between government performance and poverty in a process tracing mechanism, utilizing documentation and archival records of Maluku Barat Daya and Halmahera Timur in East Indonesia, 2016-2019. Incorporating process-tracing as the method to tracing which linkage is a new approach in poverty discourse, which is the novelty of this study. Process tracing is not without challenges, considering that it requires the presence of the expected case-specific implications of its existence, which is constrained by the data availability. However, spatially speaking, the findings of this study provide valuable insights into Indonesia’s context as an archipelago nation and can be a reference for any country facing disparity and inequality. Poor government performance lowers the quality of education and infrastructure performance through the limited number of qualified civil servants, lack of good-quality data, non-optimal budget management, and lack of accountability. Poor education resulted in low technological advances, low examination results, and few good accreditation schools. In infrastructure development, the incapability of local government to provide essential services pushed people to survive on their resources and become more vulnerable to experiencing poverty. Therefore, this research concludes that government performance influences poverty reduction through education and infrastructure performance

Village-Owned Enterprise Strategy in Improving the Economic Welfare of Sustainable Farmers
Get PDFThis research analyzis the role of BUMDes and other multi-stakeholders in efforts to improve the welfare of farmers in rural areas.

The agricultural economic development process carried out by BUMDes is basically the result of collaborative work carried out jointly with farmers, the private sector and supra-villages. An institutional pattern built on trust, transparency and strong commitment is the key to their success in building collaborative governance
