Post Disaster

In spite of the significant grants and supports after 2015 earthquake, housing reconstruction faced numerous challenges in addressing the needs of the disaster affected communities. The earthquake threatened almost all aspects of the societies in14 of the most affected districts. Government of Nepal and various development partners, including bilateral agencies, were involved in the implementation of housing reconstruction projects in different districts. All these initiatives in communities yielded diverse results. Because of the resulting disquiet from the public, the post-disaster housing reconstruction is becoming the concern and dilemma to researchers, development and humanitarian organizations worldwide. It is evident that private housing reconstruction is complicated and slow process, which is knotted with social, economic, and political dimensions. The paper highlights the significant contributing factors for accomplishing the housing reconstruction after the earthquake. A multi-dimensional holistic approach interprets the nexus of successful reconstruction, which are discussed in the paper. This paper serves as a valuable resource that highlights the significant factors for the government, development and humanitarian partners, and researchers.

Berdasarkan hasil pengujian dengan GTMetrix, maka website resmi pemerintah kabupaten  subang termasuk  kategori  lambat  dengan  waktu  tampil  18.9s,  sedangkan  untuk  website resmi pemerintah kabupaten cianjur  dan  kabupaten  bandung barat dengan waktu tampil  33.5s dan  31.0s  termasuk  kategori sangat  lambat. Berdasarkan  hasil  pengujian  dengan WebPagetest,  maka  website  resmi pemerintah kabupaten  Cianjur  memiliki  nilai performa baik dengan waktu tampil 20.015s dibandingkan dengan  kabupaten  subang dengan waktu tampil 65.871s dan  bandung  barat  dengan  waktu tampil  39.574s. Berdasarkan  hasil pengujian dengan WAVE, maka website resmi pemerintah  kabupaten  Bandung Barat memiliki nilai error sedikit  dengan jumlah  9 error dibandingkan dengan  kabupaten  subang dengan jumlah  61  error dan  kabupaten  cianjur  dengan  jumlah  168 error. Penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa dengan  fokus load time dari ketiga website resmi pemerintah kabupaten  tersebut, maka Semakin  kecil  angka  loadtime  yang dihasilkan, maka  kinerja  website  semakin  baik  dan  juga  Kualitas  sebuah  website  sangat  berpengaruh  terhadap minat    pengguna  ataupun  masyarakat  untuk  mengakses  website tersebut. saran  yang  dapat  diberikan berdasarkan hasil pengujian diatas adalah  meningkatkan  kinerja website  resmi pemerintah  terlebih  difokuskan  pada  load time website, dan  dari ketiga website resmi tersebut parameter security score nilainya F  itu  artinya  perlu ditingkatkan keamanan dari website milik pemerintah tersebut, sehingga dapat memberikan  kenyamanan dan  minat  pengguna untuk  mengakses  lnformasi  yang  terdapat  pada website  resmi  pemerintah  daerah  tersebut. Serving the public or the public by using information technology and website-based communication media is practiced by almost all sectors, including the government sector as well as the district level government. District governments that already have official websites include Kab.subang (subang.go.id), Kab.bandung Barat (bandungbaratkab.go.id), and Kab.cianjur (cianjurkab.go.id) which are the focus of this research. The existence of an official government website, it is necessary to measure the performance and quality of the website using the GTMetrix, WebPageTest, and WAVE test tools.  Based on the results of testing with GTMetrix, the official website of the Subang district government is in the slow category with a display time of 18.9s, while the official websites of the Cianjur regency and West Bandung regencies with a display time of 33.5s and 31.0s are in the very slow category. Based on the results of testing with WebPagetest, the official website of the Cianjur regency government has a good performance score with a display time of 20,015s compared to Subang district with a display time of 65,871s and Bandung Barat with a display time of 39,574s. Based on the results of testing with WAVE, the official website of the West Bandung district government has a slight error value with 9 errors compared to Subang district with 61 errors and Cianjur district with 168 errors. This research states that with the focus on the load time of the three official websites of the regency government, the smaller the load time is generated, the better the performance of the website and the quality of a website greatly affects the interest of users or the public to access the website. The suggestion that can be given based on the test results above is to improve the performance of the official government website, especially focused on the load time of the website, and from the three official websites the parameter of the security score is F, which means that the security of the government-owned website needs to be increased, so that it can provide user comfort and interest. to access information contained on the official website of the local governmen

Vulnerability is such stage when such people and group can be easily harmed physically or emotionally. They are always in risk in natural or man-made disaster so such people and groups should be cared and supported by all concerns. Great earthquake of August 2015, many old age people, poor, single women, child-headed family and disable family become vulnerable in earthquake affected districts of Nepal. So, Nepal Government had deployed the Socio-Technical Assistance (STA) team to support the vulnerable households. The main objective of this study was to identify the role of STA in private housing reconstruction of vulnerable household. The study was conducted in Okhaldhunga district among the 35 vulnerable households. The study was based on the mixed method so both quantitative and qualitative method was used to collect the data. The findings show that majority of ethnic group who were more than 70 years old were in urgent need of support who were fully supported by STA. almost all beneficiaries were happy with the support and behaviour of STA. economically, 44.1% household had spent more than 3 Lakh to build the house so they had to manage the additional amount. They had taken loan from relative and neighbor so Nepal Government should provide livelihood support to such household to improve their socio-economic status.

The Impact

The corporatization of the government has resulted in the change of the government structure and it has a negative impact on the fiscal budgeting. This change has also resulted in the equalization and generalization of the public-sector finance to private-sector finance. The impact is the disappearance of sources of funds and the adoption of the four-legged horse budget apocalypse and the categorical funding. This adoption has resulted in economic marginalization, social exclusion, massive corruption, and non-sustainability. A sustainable fiscal budget design requires the application of theory on practice and a holistic approach through the organizational structure and the timeframe of each jurisdiction, based on factual evidence and scientific analysis.

Earthquake Reconstruction

The government of Nepal successfully managed the post-earthquake housing reconstruction and rehabilitation endeavours in the aftermath of Nepal’s earthquake 2015, where more than 800,000 Earthquake affected households were identified as beneficiaries and provided financial assistance to build their house. The purpose of this research is to explore the challenges faced by the Banks and Financial Institutions (BFIs) during the cash grant distribution procedures for the earthquake beneficiaries. This paper is prepared to explore the Government of Nepal’s private housing reconstruction initiatives as an effort to cope with the post-earthquake reconstruction and rehabilitation works and the role of BFIs in disbursing of the government’s conditional cash transfer program to the identified earthquake beneficiaries. The study had collected data from 16 BFIs where 53 respondents participated in the study. It is based on the qualitative design because structured interview was conducted to collect the data. The findings show that private housing reconstruction endeavours focusing on the cash transfer programs of the GoN were more effective, where 99% of the beneficiaries received the 1st Tranche as of June 2021. Though, there were several challenges shared by the respondents during the grant transfer mechanism such as human resource management, lack of financial literacy and understanding of bank-related services, lack of adequate coordination among the concerned stakeholders, merger and acquisition of BFIs, beneficiaries’ ownership/nominee transfer, cash management, mismatch of the beneficiaries name, and reconciliation and data verification.The study would be crucial to learn important lessons from Nepal’s post-earthquake reconstruction for future disaster resilience activities

The Job Creation Act which was ratified on 5 October 2020 was met with the agitation of rejection in the form of demonstrations in almost all parts of Indonesia. There are many misunderstandings in the interpretation of this law, one of which is the assumption that the law will harm workers and society. This study aims to identify the causes of negative public opinion on the Job Creation Act, what forms of socialization are carried out by the government, and how the public gets information about the law. This research uses a qualitative approach. The data was taken through a questionnaire distributed to 22 respondents who were randomly selected from the Job Creation Act demonstrators in November 2020 in front of the DPRD Building of South Kalimantan Province. The results showed that respondent’s negative opinion on the Job Creation Act was caused by a lack of knowledge about the contents of the law and the lack of government socialization to the public. The strategy that can be taken by the government to create positive public opinion is to involve community groups, students, public figures, religious leaders, community leaders, and influencers as communicants or messengers in the socialization of the Job Creation Act.

Philanthropy is an act of generosity that has a sense of sympathy for human beings. Generosity is an integral part of the character of Indonesian society, derived from religious wisdom, culture, and a strong sense of community. The existence of Faith Based Organization (religious-based organization) helps the government in overcoming the social inequalities that occur in middle and lower society. One of the humanitarian organizations based on Islam in Indonesia is the Post of Justice Peduli Ummat (PKPU) which provides assistance, various forms of social activities in various fields. The presence of these humanitarian agencies in Indonesia marks the "new practice of philanthropy" of the Islamic philanthropy movement in realizing the public welfare.

Abstract Background: Training of mid-level providers is a task-sharing strategy that has gained popularity in the recent past for addressing the critical shortage of the health workforce. In Tanzania, training of mid-level providers has existed for over five decades; however, concerns exist regarding the quality of mid-level cadres amidst the growing number of medical universities. This study sought to explore the challenges facing the Assistant Medical Officers training for the performance of Caesarean section delivery in Tanzania. Methods: An exploratory qualitative case study was carried out in four regions to include one rural district in each of the selected regions and two AMO training colleges in Tanzania. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview 29 key informants from the district hospitals, district management, regional management, AMO training college, and one retired AMO. Also, four focus group discussions were conducted with 35 AMO trainees.Results: Training of AMOs in Tanzania faces many challenges. The challenges include: use of outdated and static curriculum, inadequate tutors (lack of teaching skills and experience of teaching adults), inadequate teaching infrastructure in the existence of many other trainees, including interns, and limited or lack of scholarships and sponsorship for the AMO trainees. Conclusions: The findings of this study underscore that the challenges facing AMO training for the performance of Caesarean section delivery have the potential to negatively impact the quality of Caesarean sections performed by this cadre. A holistic approach is needed in addressing these challenges. The solutions should focus on reviewing the curriculum, deploying qualified tutors, and improving the competencies of the available tutors through continuing medical education programmes. Furthermore, the government in collaboration with other stakeholders should work together to address the challenges in teaching infrastructure and providing financial support to this cadre that has continued to be the backbone of primary healthcare in Tanzania. Long-term solutions should consider deploying medical officers at the primary facilities and phasing out the performance of Caesarean section by AMOs.

This article tells the involvement of humanitarian organizations in the post-war reconstruction process of disaster in the city of Palu, Sigi and Donggala Regencies. The presence of humanitarian organizations is urgently needed to help the process of acceleration of reconstruction. In carrying out its humanitarian mission, it is expected that these institutions are coordinated by the authority of the government/state. Management of Integrated Community Shelter expected able to help the process of reconstruction post disaster apparently also still constrained in the pattern of coordination. Coordination pattern which is less likely to occur in delivering open and funneling aid to victims. this paper found that the existence of the weakness of the State in controlling and embody the humanitarian agency's involvement in the process of reconstructions. Collaborative approach to governance in the management of Integrated Community Shelter appears as an alternative solution in the answer to these problems.

Housing is perhaps the most common component of a community’s manufactured capital wealth stocks damaged or destroyed by natural disasters. Consequently the restoration of housing in the recovery process takes on a paramount significance. This significance is magnified by the complexity of housing restoration and the varying and specialised skill sets required to deliver it. Such complexity is exemplified through both the different phases of post-disaster housing required following a disaster and the role of housing in the broader socio-ecological system of a community. Housing is inextricably linked to livelihoods, physical and mental health, security and social capital. Successful post-disaster restoration of housing must identify and embrace such linkages. This paper explores this notion through examination of the impact of the permanent housing reconstruction of the T. Vilufushi community, Maldives, following the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which completely destroyed the island of Vilufushi. The community were temporarily relocated for 4½ years whilst Vilufushi was totally reconstructed by the Government of Maldives and the British Red Cross. Such reconstruction was undertaken to cater for not only the original population of 1800, but also a projected population of 5000, as the Government of Maldives utilised the opportunity afforded by the Tsunami to pursue its longstanding population consolidation policy. The post-occupancy impact of the permanent housing reconstruction program upon the wider socio-ecological system of the Vilufushi community is explored via a qualitative research methodology utilising the four wealth capitals of sustainable development as its analytical framework. Field data collection methods comprised focus group discussions, key informant interviews and observations. This was supplemented with ongoing document collection and review. Data was analysed using a pattern match technique / content analysis, preceding a holistic recovery network analysis. Results of the research indicate that the delivery of the permanent housing on Vilufushi has undermined the human, natural and social capital wealth stocks of the community. The implications are that permanent housing reconstruction needs to be considered as much as a social process, as an engineering process. This in turn, has implications for the skillsets of those charged to deliver such projects, and also the organisations that employ them.

‘Joined-up government’ has been a topic of important discussion in the early twenty-first century as much as it was in the end of the twentieth century. Reinventing government was a move towards the ‘new public management’ which revolved on the importance to stimulate a business situation in the government and to apply the disciplines of the market to the public sector. The joined-up government on the other hand advocated a more holistic approach. It not only sought to apply the logic of economics but also the insights of other social sciences such as sociology and cultural theory to reform and change public service. This book focuses on the joined-up government strategy of the UK government. This strategy sought not only to bring together the government departments and agencies but also a number of various private and voluntary bodies for a common goal. The chapters in this book discusses the various barriers to the joined-up government such as contrasting perspectives of the central and local government, the conflicting departmental interests, and the diverging interests of the professionals.
