Abstract

Decentralization in Indonesia is an unfinished reform and to date, its implementation has not been maximized especially fiscal decentralization. This study aims to investigate the dilemma of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia, between accountability and the probability of corruption at the local level. Data collection in this research is in the form of documentation study to collect secondary data. Secondary data, this study will rely on documentary analysis of official documents from government, NGOs and news items from the media. For data analysis, the study will run analysis processes such as coding, combining emerging codes into themes, verifying themes through theory and follow-up interviews, and drawing conclusions. Whereas the validity mechanism applies member checks, triangulation, multiple sources of data, and looking for counterexamples. This research empirically found that the implementation of fiscal decentralization in Indonesia not only had a positive impact on the financial accountability of local governments but also had a positive impact on the occurrence of corruption in local governments. This means, fiscal decentralization is like two sides of a coin, on the one hand, it is able to increase the financial accountability of local governments, but on the other hand the greater the balance of funds provided by the central government to the regions, the higher the probability of corruption in local governments. Therefore, the supervision of the implementation of fiscal decentralization in order to create good financial governance and minimize corruption in the local government body in Indonesia.

Abstract

The local elections (Pilkada) had been implemented since 2005 in Papua, are deemed incapable of resolving problems. On the other hand, the direct local elections' political costs are not small, both from the state's budget and from the candidates to the regions. Implementing direct local elections sometimes creates ineffective governance, especially in areas that do not yet have a mature democracy. The ongoing local democratic system is also often colored by conflict. This research focuses on the urgency of the asymmetric regional election in Papua. This research will explain how important asymmetric local elections (Pilkada) is applied in Papua. Moreover, this study uses a library method and a qualitative approach. The results of this study found several reasons for direct local elections, not yet satisfactory results. Democratization in Papua is still not well consolidated. This research concludes that the warning to hold asymmetric local elections in Papua needs to be considered. However, these choices are not final—contemporary decisions in preparing communities' political and social structures.

Abstract

Nutritional problems, known as stunting, are a major threat to the quality of Indonesian society that interferes with children's physical growth and brain development disorders that will affect their achievement. This study aims to analyze the nutrition intervention program and program achievements carried out by the Palembang City government. The research method used is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. This study uses secondary data from the Palembang City Health Office to measure the number of short toddlers taking measurements in the October 2021 period. This is continued by describing the achievements of the nutrition intervention program that has been carried out by the Palembang City government and analyzing the problems that exist in the stunting program in Palembang City using the SWOT method. This study found that specific nutrition interventions were carried out through health programs while sensitive nutrition interventions were carried out through environmental programs. In an effort to reduce stunting in the city of Palembang, the strengths are stunting data collected by name by address and program innovations run at health centers. However, the weakness is that there is not optimal coordination and program synergy between related agencies. Low community motivation and lack of knowledge related to child-rearing patterns are a challenge, but the Palembang City government's commitment, as stated in the Mayor's Regulation policy, becomes the basis and direction of policy in designing stunting reduction and programs for the next five years.
