Slum-free Urban Program (KOTAKU) is arranged by the Directorate General of Human Settlements, Presidential Regulation Number 2 of 2015, which instructs the development and expansion of urban regions by handling the residential environment's quality. The research shows that Binjai City has 21 Urban Villages included in the slums residential area. They are Tanah Merah, Bhakti Karya, Tanah Seribu, Puji Dadi, Binjai Estate, Rambung Barat, Rambung Timur, Timbang Langkat, Sumber Mulyorejo, Sumber Karya, Bandar Sinembah, Limau Mungkur, Paya Roba, Suka Maju, Suka Ramai, Tangsi, Satria, Berngam, Pekan Binjai, Damai, and Cengkeh Turi. The KOTAKU program gets its fund from the Kotaku program, Regional Budget (APBD), and communities' funds to manage the program. In this research, the methodology used was the descriptive method using a qualitative approach to focus on the current issues or phenomena during the research. The research shows the decrease of slums residential area from 315.6 Ha to 224.57 Ha. The implementation of the KOTAKU program has a resistor factor: the lack of socialization from the government regarding the program and the lack of community participation in the development process. This research concludes that the implementation of the KOTAKU program in Binjai City has corresponded to the local people requirements, and it creates a decrease of residential slums area to 30%. This research provides a recommendation: the government needs to make more socialization regarding the program and conduct direct coordination to the community to increase people's participation to run the KOTAKU program. The suggestion for future research is to conduct a bottom-up strategy so that many people are actively involved in the program

Nurses, short in production and inequitable in the distribution in Bangladesh, require the government’s efforts to increase enrolment in nursing education and a smooth career progression. Given the importance of an assessment of the current nursing scenario to inform the decision makers and practitioners to implement the new policies successfully, we analyzed relevant policies on education, career, and governance of nurses in Bangladesh. We used documents review and qualitative methods such as key informant interviews ( n = 13) and stakeholder analysis. We found that nursing education faced several backlashes: resistance from diploma nurses while attempting to establish a graduate (bachelor) course in 1977, and the reluctance of politicians and entrepreneurs to establish nursing institutions. Many challenges with the implementation of nursing policies are attributable to social, cultural, religious, and historical factors. For example, Hindus considered touching the bodily excretions as the task of the lower castes, while Muslims considered women touching the body of the men immoral. Nurses also face governance challenges linked with their performance and reward. For example, nurses have little voice over the decisions related to their profession, and they are not allowed to perform clinical duties unsupervised. To improve the situation, the government has made new policies, including upliftment of nurses’ position in public service, the creation of an independent Directorate General, and improvement of nursing education and service. New policies often come with new apprehensions. Therefore, nurses should be included in the policy processes, and their capacity should be developed in nursing leadership and health system governance.
