The church and the nation are in their debt. If Indonesia wishes to be cured, if the churches want to be healed from the collective trauma that still hinders the path of this nation moving towards the future, then one way is to listen and respond to the valuable stories of women and their children. When members of our research team were wrestling with understanding this sensitive issue, and seeking ways to better prepare themselves with appropriate research methods, we received valuable input from our friends: namely Pak Putu Oka from the Institute for Human Creativity (LKK) in Jakarta, Th. J. Erlijna from the Indonesian Institute for Social history (ISSI) in Jakarta, and Galuh Wandita from the International Center for Transitional Justice,

  • Capital Town

    Capital Town

    Capital town Dorkas waits in front of her house in Lawonda for the small buss that col- lects travellers to Waikabubak. It is just after sunrise. She wants to go to town to visit the hospital. She has been feeling very tired during the last several months with fevers every two weeks, and the nurse in the village clinic had not given her a diagnosis and the right medicine. An older woman joins Dorkas in the buss; she is going to see her daughter in town. Two young girls get on board. They have attended their uncle’s funeral in the village, and now they have to hurry back because they only had permission to be absent from secondary school for three days. At the next corner, a middle-aged man car- rying a small pig steps in. He desperately needs money to pay school fees for his son. In town he will get a better price for the pig than here in the village. Descending to Anakalang the road is rather bumpy. The surface had been rehabilitated last year, but there are already large holes in the middle of the road. People blame the contractor, who surely used the cheapest materials and put the rest of the money in his own pocket. The driver puts a new tape in the recorder and cheerful Christian pop music provides enjoyment for the passengers. Waikabubak is the capital town of West Sumba. In 2002 it had 23,000 inhabitants, which is only about 6 per cent of the total population of this District.

  • Ensuring Food Security and Reducing Poverty Through Gender on Development: Indonesian Case1

    Ensuring Food Security and Reducing Poverty Through Gender on Development: Indonesian Case1

    Ensuring Food Security and Reducing Poverty through Gender on Development: Indonesian Case1 Angelina Ika Rahutami Faculty of Economics and Business Soegijapranata Catholic University, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract Poverty, food security and gender inequality have a strong causality relationship and have been a focus of socio-economic development in the world. The World Food Program stated that gender inequality is a major cause and effect of hunger and poverty, but the fact also shows that women play a pivotal role in food security, those are food production, distribution, keeper the indigenous knowledge of biodiversity and utilization. This concern could be seen on the 3 goals of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that represent a continuity of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Indonesian data show that approximately 60 percent of Indonesian poverty is rural poverty. Most of the poor in rural is farmers who have a big problem with low farmer’s exchange rate. This study aimed to describe the conditions of poverty and food security in Indonesia and conduct policy analysis in terms of gender and development. This study used secondary and primary data. The result of study showed that the low farmer’s exchange rate cause farmers is more difficult to escape from the poverty trap. In addition, because women hold various roles in food security but also have various limitations in accessing food, women tend to have a bigger burden than men. The case study in Central Sumba showed that the women empowerment to deal with food security and poverty should be accompanied by cultural approach. The cultural approach is important because this research found that the indigenous culture affected the household’s decision making.

In order to reach this target, the utilization of liquid bio-fuels and biomass is crucial. From earlier studies it was concluded that use of bio-energy would play an important role in replacing fossil fuel in ‘back up and spinning reserve’ diesel generators that constitute an essential part of the RE power systems on the island.

    2017ANNUAL REPORT Preface Every passing year becomes our reflection to reach our vision for every child life in all its fullness. We always feel grateful when we listen to every story and see the changes in the children and communities whom we have supported through 62 child-focused programs. The involvement of many parties in the effort to promote the well-being of children becomes an encouragement for the sustainability of the assisting programs in the community which is run by Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI). The alignment of our programs in the field with the programs that are run by the central and local government become our focus for the sustainability of our program in the long run. In 2017, one of WVI's agendas is to give priority to child protection, without setting aside programs in other sectors such as education, health and the family economy. WVI's commitment to protect children is portrayed through the launch of Ending Violence against Children (Penghapusan Kekerasan Terhadap Anak / PKTA) campaign which will run over the next 5 years, together with 20 other non-government organizations belonging to the PKTA Alliance. Thank you for every effort and collaboration that has been done throughout this year. We believe that every single thing that we have done for the children becomes hope to promote the well-being of the children. Let's go hand in hand for the Indonesian children.

    Religious Harmony and Tolerance in Disruption Era: a Study of Local Wisdom in Watu Asa of Central Sumba

    Walisongo: Jurnal Penelitian Sosial Keagamaan Vol. 28 No. 2 (2020) pp. 171-194 DOI: 10.21580/ws.28.2.6381 Religious Harmony and Tolerance in Disruption Era: A Study of Local Wisdom in Watu Asa of Central Sumba Suryaningsi Mila,1∗∗∗ Solfina Lija Kolambani2 1, 2Sekolah Tinggi Teologia Gereja Kristen Sumba, Sumba Timur, Indonesia Abstract Intolerance has been a major concern in religious life in the disruption era. This current study aims to discuss local wisdom that has helped maintain religious harmony and tolerance in Watu Asa of Central Sumba. The study was qualitative and descriptive in nature, while the investigation was carried out through participatory observation on the dynamics of religious life and in-depth interviews with religious and traditional leaders in Watu Asa Village. The results of the investi- gation confirm that the three religious communities, i.e. Christians, Marapu, and Muslims, can coexist peacefully because of the local wisdom and strong kinship. The local wisdom embedded in the tradition of tana nyuwu watu lissi, palomai or palonggamai , kalli kawana kalli kawinni, pandula wikki, mandara , and paoli, promotes the values of love, respect, mutual cooperation, and acceptance of one another. Those values are believed to be a social cohesion that interconnects interreligious people, regardless of their geographical, ethnic, and gender differences. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of the values of local wisdom as counter-narratives against intolerant religious ideology. --- Intoleransi telah menjadi keprihatinan utama dalam kehidupan beragama di era disrupsi. Kajian ini bermaksud ingin membahas ke- arifan lokal yang telah turut menjaga kerukunan dan toleransi umat beragama di Watu Asa, Sumba Tengah.
