  • The Role of Local Leadership in Village Governance
    3009 Talent Development & Excellence Vol.12, No.3s, 2020, 3009 – 3020 A Study of Leadership in the Management of Village Development Program: The Role of Local Leadership in Village Governance Kushandajani1,*, Teguh Yuwono2, Fitriyah2 1 Department of Politics and Government, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Diponegoro, Tembalang, Semarang, Jawa Tengah 50271, Indonesia email: [email protected] 2 Department of Politics and Government, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Diponegoro, Tembalang, Semarang, Jawa Tengah 50271, Indonesia Abstract: Policies regarding villages in Indonesia have a strong impact on village governance. Indonesian Law No. 6/2014 recognizes that the “Village has the rights of origin and traditional rights to regulate and manage the interests of the local community.” Through this authority, the village seeks to manage development programs that demand a prominent leadership role for the village leader. For that reason, the research sought to describe the expectations of the village head and measure the reality of their leadership role in managing the development programs in his village. Using a mixed method combining in-depth interview techniques and surveys of some 201 respondents, this research resulted in several important findings. First, Lurah as a village leader was able to formulate the plan very well through the involvement of all village actors. Second, Lurah maintained a strong level of leadership at the program implementation stage, through techniques that built mutual awareness of the importance of village development programs that had been jointly initiated. Keywords: local leadership, village governance, program management I. INTRODUCTION In the hierarchical system of government in Indonesia, the desa (village) is located below the kecamatan (district).

  • Dear Colleague, Every Child Has a Dream. but Children Who Were Brought up Living a Less Privileged Life Don't Have the Courage
    Dear colleague, Every child has a dream. But children who were brought up living a less privileged life don’t have the courage to pursue theirs, believing that their future is limited by their life’s circumstances. That is what My Dream in a Shoebox envisions to change. We want to bring the dreamers back by providing not only the tools for learning but to also empower these children to pursue a bright future through education. For the 11th consecutive year, TeamAsia brings you My Dream in a Shoebox, an advocacy campaign of individuals and organizations committed to meet the educational needs of underprivileged children in the country. With the support of our generous partners and sponsors, we’re able to gather 72,634 shoeboxes with school supplies and Php 400,000 cash donations in 2018. These shoeboxes were given to public schools, foundations and communities all over the Philippines. Cash donations allowed us to provide financial educational assistance to 110 scholars from 11 communities across the country and bring joy to more than 3,000 children during our December gift-giving days. Our goal is to continue to equip more children towards a better future by: Acknowledging the fundamental role of collaboration in achieving our mission to empower underprivileged children, we are inviting you to be our Corporate Partner to join our advocacy. Below are three ways that you can help the campaign: 1. Cash Donations a. Adopt a community!

  • Chapter 4 Village Level Socio-Political Context
    Chapter 4 Village Level Socio-Political Context 4.1 Introduction The following general overview of the socio-political context in rural, coastal villages of central Maluku is based on the results of six case studies carried out on Saparua, Haruku and Ambon Islands. All study sites are Christian villages. Therefore some of the findings, especially the role of the church in society, do not pertain to the social structure in Muslim villages. Although a dominant force, the formal village government is only one of three key elements generally recognized in Maluku villages. These three key institutions are called the Tiga Tungku, or three hearthstones: the government, the church (or in Muslim villages, the mosque) and adat or traditional authorities. In some villages, teachers are also important and may displace adat leaders in the Tiga Tungku. 4.2 Traditional Village Government Structure Prior to the enactment of the local government law (Law No. 5, 1979), villages in Maluku were led by a hereditary chief or raja. Although now considered part of the “traditional” structure, the position of raja was in fact not part of the indigenous adat social structure, but a construction of the Dutch colonial leaders. When the Dutch consolidated their power in Maluku and forced the hill-dwelling people to settle in coastal villages, they appointed the village leader, i.e., the raja. Previous to this, the clan groups living in the hills were led by warrior chiefs (kapitan). The raja governed together with administrative and legislative councils (saniri) whose members were the clan leaders. The raja’s powers under this system were not absolute.
