In recent times, the term ‘local economic development’ has been conceptualised and introduced as a bottom-up participatory development strategy in Ghana. It is intended to be implemented at the district level to facilitate the revitalisation of the local economy and create jobs for local residents. Using in-depth interviews and the analysis of relevant policy documents, this paper evaluates efforts aimed at institutionalising the practice in local institutional frameworks and development planning practice in the country. The paper found out that processes aimed at institutionalising contemporary local economic development practice in Ghana are not making any meaningful impact. Institutional frameworks such as the structuring of development policymaking and planning in the country are still rigid and promote bureaucratic top-down development decision-making processes. Similarly, the promotion of a meaningful bottom-up decentralised planning system is only a well-packaged talk by policymakers in the country. Evidence shows that there is a clear lack of political will to implement reforms, particularly the new decentralisation policy that seeks to make District Assemblies in Ghana responsive to local economic development promotion. There is the need for a conscious effort towards making local economic development practice matter in national and local development endeavour in Ghana.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the role of independent institution as moderation between community involvement and legislative institution responsiveness in Mataram City. Design/methodology/approach This research is explanatory research, which explains the effect between variables by hypothesis testing. This research was conducted in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara. Population in this study included all stakeholders involved in Mataram City’s participatory planning, including community leaders, legislative institutions (starting from the village/subdistrict, district to city levels) and independent institutions. The sampling was performed using nonprobability sampling technique, namely, quota sampling. The research model with inferential analysis used a structural equation modelling (SEM) with WarpPLS to answer the statements of problems and test the desired hypotheses. Findings The research results conclude that community involvement has a direct effect on legislative institution responsiveness and legislative institution responsiveness has a direct effect on the success of participatory development planning. This indicates that all variables in this research influence the success of participatory development planning. However, the indirect effect of legislative institution responsiveness on the success of participatory development planning through the role of independent institution is not significant. Originality/value The role of independent institutions as a moderation of the relationship between community involvement and legislative institution responsiveness can be learned as the novelty in this study.

Disasters are a global problem in many countries. Particularly in Indonesia,where has many prone areas to disasters. The perspective of disastermanagement has entered a new paradigm, from previously only focusing onemergency response activities to mitigation and preparedness approaches. Mitigation andpreparedness are carried out when disasters do not occur. Indisaster risk mitigation, it is necessary to involve active communityparticipation, especially in planning for disaster-related development. So far, the communities are mostly only passive object in the development program that only accepts any initiatives of disaster-based development made by thegovernment. The communities need to be placed as active subjectsparticipating in the disaster-related development in their community. Many disaster-based infrastructure developments so far still use the top-downmechanism, namely disaster planning, and management entirely based on the initiation of the government or organization. In Disaster Management Law No.24/2007, it is stated that the community has the right to be actively involved indisaster management efforts in their communities. This paper aims to identifywhat forms of community participation in disaster-based development,especially at the planning stage of infrastructure development activities.

The study aims to develop a strategic formulation by means of integrating and synthesizing traditional typical planning pattern called Meobu-Obu and  Musrenbang (Community consultation on development planning held annually from village level to national level) as participatory development planning  occurring so far in the area of South Konawe Regency Government. The attempts of reconstructing and functionalizing rural social institutions were developed through community studies, participatory studies and eclectic case studies. The results show that the process of utilizing Village Funds (VF) still focuses more on physical development aspect rather than the aspect of community socio-economic empowerment. Meanwhile, the process of organizing the Musrenbang tends to be formalistic to merely abort the procedural aspects. Similarly, the institution of kalosara still wrestles with ritualistic field of un sich continuosly, so that the sacralization of kalosara culture has not entered the developmental field yet. It is exactly in this context that the result of research offers a formulation of Musrenbang based on cultural value of kalosara to be used in the future in the attempt of building the rural areas, particularly in the mainland of Southeast Sulawesi Province.

Participatory development has been heralded as the tool that is capable of bringing development to the most marginalised people. Theorists including Robert Chambers, Mohan Giles, Kristian Stokke, Paulo Freire and Amartya Sen have argued extensively on the importance of including people in the decisions that affect their livelihood. This tool of participation has been employed as a means of accomplishing projects that appeal to a larger group of people. Though a debatable improvement from the top-down approach, this approach to communication has relegated the use of participation to being a means. Further benefits actually emanate from the use of the participatory approach to development. One of such is in its pedagogical capacity; especially in teaching people about institutional structures and civic engagement. To harness this capacity of participatory development, participation must be viewed as an end of its own. This article is an investigation into this pedagogical capacity of participatory development. It focuses on participation in non-physical activities such as participatory budgeting and participatory policy making. This is in order to understand its effect on the capacity of citizens to understand and engage with social structures which affect their livelihood. Understanding this capacity of participatory development to increase the level of civic engagement between citizens and their society, is needed for better development planning. Thus, the conclusion highlights the potential for participation to increase citizen engagement with the structures in society. Again, it is with such understanding, that participatory projects and processes can be designed to produce benefits that transcend the lifeline of the project.
