   The ‘Mohalla’ clinics were set up by the Delhi state (provincial) government in India in 2014 to provide basic health services to people of Delhi city and its vicinity, especially targeting the urban poor. The Mohalla clinics are staffed by a doctor, a nurse, a pharmacist and a laboratory technician and theyprovide basic health services including immunisation, family planning and counselling services. The Mohalla clinic program had a good start and its operation was cost-effective; however, it is still struggling to increase its coverage to entire Delhi state as it had planned. The program got caught up in the central government and state government bureaucratic tussle, especially on the issue of acquiring land for setting up such clinics and on the implementation front due to the lack of operational plan and collaboration with the government line agencies. Thus, despite political will and funding a potentially viable urban health programmay have got stuck in the operational procedural complexities and political-bureaucratic tussle. This commentary article tries to discuss the challenges faced by the Delhi government’s ‘Mohalla’ clinics and a possible way forward to scale it up as a model urban health program.

Under the Special Autonomy Law, indigenous Papuans receive special attention and are the main subject of development. The existence of the central government, provincial government, district/city governments, as well as subordinate institutions, are all geared to provide the best service to the indigenous people of Papua, in order that improvedsocial welfare can be realized, so that the lives of indigenous people of Papua can be in line with that of the rest of the population in Indonesia. There are four very important service sectors within the strategic mandate of the Special Autonomy Law to be implemented by the government in relation to the welfare of indigenous Papuans, namely: education, health and nutrition, village infrastructure, and economic empowerment. Supiori local government has yet to determine the performance indicators pertaining to implemented programs and activities funded by Special Autonomy. These conditions make the assessment of performance against the use of Special Autonomy funds difficult because indicators of achievement of the program/ activity are not available.Types of data collected in this study include both secondary and primary data. The data collection techniques used in this study are:Questionnaires and Distributed Questionnaires, In-Depth Interviews, Library Research, and Focus Group Discussions.Supiori Autonomy health sector funding of the programs and activities of the Department of Health in 2012 has been quite effective and beneficial for the Health Services Unit, which includes hospitals, health centers and Puskesmas Pembantu health center. In addition, medical personnel (nurses), Posyandu cadres, pregnant and nursing mothers, infants and toddlers, children and the community district also enjoy greater health benefits.There needs to be involvement and participation in the Health Services Unit Autonomy fund management, in areas ranging from planning to follow-up. Participation can be done through discussions about Health Services Unit needs, as well as the needs foundin the planning and budgeting of Special Autonomy funds in the Supiori health field.

Pasal 18B ayat (1) UUD Tahun 1945 memberikan legitimasi terhadap Qanun Aceh No. 3 Tahun 2013 tentang Bendera dan Lambang Aceh yang merupakan hasil kesepakatan Pemerintah Indonesia dengan GAM. Hal ini kemudian dituangkan ke dalam Undang-Undang No. 11 Tahun 2006 tentang Pemerintahan Aceh. Permasalahannya adalah materi qanun tersebut dianggap bertentangan dengan Peraturan Pemerintah No. 77 Tahun 2007. Pemerintah Pusat menghendaki perbaiki terhadap beberapa materi qanun, namun pihak Pemerintah Aceh dianggap menyalahi MoU Helsinki. Rumusan masalah kajian ini sebagai berikut: Pertama, apakah landasan pemikiran lahirnya Qanun Aceh No. 3 Tahun 2013 tentang Bendera dan Lambang Aceh? Kedua, apakah akibat hukum dari adanya Pasal 246 ayat (2), dan ayat (4) serta Pasal 247 Undang-Undang No. 11 Tahun 2006 tentang Pemerintahan Aceh?
