The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Islamic Development Bank: The regional dimension of humanitarian diplomacy
No full textThis paper analyses the role of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) during crises, considering their limits and potential.
Besides the diplomatic role in negotiating and mediating access to aid for vulnerable populations, another concept emerges in this analysis: the financial aspect of humanitarian diplomacy. While actors at different levels have to negotiate for access to aid, at the same time this access requires financial sustainability that can contribute to improving the resilience of vulnerable communities. For this purpose, OIC and IsDB can mobilise innovative financing mechanisms when they intervene for ensuring access to aid for conflict-affected populations and play a crucial role in creating a space of dialogue between the international and local levels.

Financing Asia’s Infrastructure: Modes of Development and Integration of Asian Financial Markets
Get PDFAsia faces very large infrastructure funding demands, estimated at around US$750 billion per year for energy, transport, telecommunications, water, and sanitation during 2010-2020 (ADB/ADBI 2009). Asia has large savings, significant international reserves, and rapid accumulations of funds that could be utilized for meeting these infrastructure investment needs, but Asian markets have failed to use available resources to channel funding into highly needed infrastructure projects. This paper explores issues and challenges in financing infrastructure for seamless Asian infrastructure connectivity and for other high priority development financing needs, and seeks methods and instruments to help direct Asian and international resources to cost-effectively and efficiently support infrastructure and other development needs. The paper discusses three important topics: First, what are the lessons for Asia from the European Union's experience of developing and integrating financial markets and using development banking institutions to support infrastructure investment? Second, how can Asian public and private resources, such as pension funds, social security funds, sovereign wealth funds, and private portfolio funds contribute to infrastructure development across Asia? Third, can Islamic financial markets provide funds for Asian infrastructure development? Finally, the paper makes recommendations regarding financing options and how Asian financial markets and infrastructure companies could be further developed and integrated to mobilize Asian and other regions' savings for financing priority infrastructure projects in the region.asian financial markets; asian infrastructure; asian infrastructure financing

Green Building Concept on the Planning of Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Building at Jember University
No full textThe rapid growing of development in Indonesia has increased the energy needs and made current Green
Building issue become very important. To support the development, green building is regulated in the policies
and programs to improve energy efficiency, water, and building materials as well as increasing the use of low
carbon technology. This study aims to carry out the design recognition stage by identifying and ranking the 5

Drivers of Delays in Procurement of Infrastructure Projects
No full textThe objective of this study was to
analyze the reasons for delays in procurement and
contract execution of infrastructure projects. It analyzes
available data from three different sources: Tender data for
656 works contracts extracted from the World Bank Systematic
Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP), covering the
period 2013-2022. This sample was used to analyze the
incidence and extent of delays in the procurement of World
Bank infrastructure projects; A sample of 312 works contracts
for infrastructure projects financed by the World Bank and
the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), covering the period
2007-2019. This sample was used to analyze the reasons for
delays in the procurement and delivery of World Bank and
IsDB infrastructure projects at the contract level; CoST
assurance reports from 2016 to 2020 covering 480
infrastructure projects across 12 member countries of CoST.
This sample was used to analyze the reasons of delays for
the reviewed infrastructure projects

REINTERPRETATION OF WOMEN’S DOMESTIC ROLES: Saleh Darat’s Thought on Strengthening Women’s Roles in Indonesia
Get PDFRoles of women in relation to domestic and public life are one of gender issues in many societies including Javanese people. Nevertheless, there are indeed figures who fought for improving women status are from java among them are Kartini and her teacher, a male ‘Ulama’ named Saleh Darat. Saleh Darat offered a new perspective regarding women’s roles in his book, Majmu‘at. He, in contrast to common views, granted domestic works high value and signified them with spiritual meaning so that women can also be elevated in status. In addition, he also promoted the right of women for education as well as the importance of women taking part in economic activities.
