The increase in the number of HIV-AIDS cases in the last ten years from 2008 to 2017 in Toba Samosir Regency with an average HIV growth of ≥ 7% and AIDS growth of ≥ 31%, has to be handled by implementing a special program. The lack of coordination between HKBP AIDS Committee Balige and Regional Government has to be made since there is no similar opinion about HIV-AIDS, the government agencies which are joined in the Committee of Regional AIDS Handling are not focused on prioritizing HIV- AIDS problems, and coordination in planning has not been optimal so that the budget is limited. The objective of the research was to find out the coordination between HKBP AIDS Committee, Balige and the Regional Government in HIV-AIDS Handling program in Toba Samosir Regency. The research used qualitative method (phenomenology design) which was aimed to get information about the coordination in preventing and handling HIV-AIDS in Toba Samosir Regency, with 20 informants.

AbstractThe study aims to know the existence of operation of madrasah in regions with few moslems in Manokwari Regency, West Papua Province. Using qualitative method, the study result shows that the operation of madrasah in the study location is initiated by migrant people from outside Papua. All madrasahs there are operated in Transmigration settlements and in Hidayatullah pesantren. If we see eight components of education, the madrasahs generally have not met the SNP. From the government policy, the madrasahs have not gained equal treatment from the regional government and the regional parliament due to political, socio cultural, religious and ethnicity factors while the policy of the ministry of religion still refers to the government’s policy through the Central Government’s Performance Plans not realized in accordance with the region’s need. The relationship between the madrasahs and the migrant people is good as the people need comprehensive Islamic educational service and formal education is yet available in their settlements. However, the relationship with indigenous people is hampered by regulations imposed on migrants that sometimes bring loss. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui eksistensi penyelenggaraan madrasah di daerah minoritas muslim di Kabupaten Manokwari, Propinsi Papua Barat. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelenggaraan madrasah di lokasi penelitian dilatarbelakangi kedatangan masyarakat migran dari luar Papua. Seluruh madrasah di sana berdiri di lokasi Pemukiman Transmigrasi dan di lingkungan pondok pesantren Hidayatullah. Dilihat dari kondisi delapan komponen pendidikan, umumnya madrasah tersebut belum memenuhi SNP. Dilihat dari kebijakan pemerintah, madrasah belum memperoleh kebijakan yang berkeadilan dari Pemda maupun DPRD, yang disebabkan oleh faktor politik, sosial budaya, agama dan etnis. Sedangkan kebijakan Kemenag sendiri masih mengacu pada kebijakan pusat melalui Rencana Kinerja Pusat (RKP) yang terkadang realisasinya tidak sesuai dengan kebutuhan daerah. Hubungaan madrasah dengan masyarakat migran cukup baik, karena pendirian madrasah memang dikehendaki oleh masyarakat tersebut, karena masyarakat sangat membutuhkan layanan pendidikan agama Islam yang utuh dan layanan pendidikan formal yang memang belum tersedia di sekitar pemukiman mereka. Namun hubungan dengan masyarakat penduduk asli, terkendala dengan aturan-aturan yang berlaku yang juga diterapkan pada penduduk pendatang yang terkadang merugikan.

This study aims to describe the form of local wisdom (cultural value) in rural microfinance — this study conducted from October until December 2018 in Wangga Village, East Sumba. A qualitative method was used to picture the phenomenon of local wisdom-based microfinance development in communities. The authors used in-depth interviews with eight informants from the Rinjung Pahamu Farmer’s Group Association. The eight informants were determined purposively. Also, the data collection was carried out through a focus group discussion with the Rinjung Pahamu Farmer’s Group Association. The results of the study show that the local wisdom experienced by the members of the Rinjung Pahamu Farmer’s Group Association was used to overcome the limited access to formal financial services. The forms of microfinance developed on the Island of Sumba could not be separated from the appreciation of the noble values (Marapu) adopted by the community, such as the philosophy of Pawandang, Hillu Kandutuku, and Rotu Padang. Furthermore, savings and loan activities carried out in the management of the Farmer’s Group Association always consider the aspects of justice and survival. Based on the successful experience of the Rinjung Pahamu Farmer’s Group Association, in the future, the cultural value as the basis for the microfinance development can be applied to other groups as a means to improve financial access among the poor, especially for those living in rural areas. Marapu’s belief that was adopted by the people in Wangga Village still used as the basis for carrying out various activities in people’s lives. Marapu’s view is the belief that the government acknowledges pride, and it strengthens the community to maintain survival and balance. It practised through the Pawandang, Hillu Kandutuku, and Rotu Padang activities.
