Due to the new governance paradigm, the government involves civil society and private and public sectors instead of being a single actor in its activities. This paradigm represents a collaborative governance practice with the New Public Management principles. The government optimizes the village funds through a cash-for-work scheme that implements village development by allocating 30% wages. The purpose of this study is to examine the government's efforts to reduce cash payments and workforce in various activities. The research problem is focused on the impact of collaborative governance implementation in cash-for-work schemes in Jembrana Regency, Bali Province. Furthermore, the collaborative governance principles are examined as a state administration's new paradigm. Jembrana Regency was selected as the research location because it highly utilizes the village funds with a cash-for-work scheme than other regencies in Bali Province. This study used descriptive analysis and determined informants purposively. The results show that collaborative governance has a socio-economic impact on cash-for-work schemes, reducing the urban bias and related practices. Moreover, these results indicate counter-disruption in cash-for-work schemes, which do not apply to non-cash payments, digitization, and workforce reduction. The limitations of this study lie in the locus coverage and research focus.

Through the example of the Australian police services, this article examines the impact of the New Public Management tools on strengthening administrative accountability. Governments, faced with increasing social demand for security, have launched into political auctions on the themes of police activity and social control. Relationships between the authorities and the police administrators have been redefined, mainly through more rigorous budgetary control. After a rapid examination of the administrative context that led to the implementation of programme budgeting — the main government tool in this area — the article examines the tensions that resulted from its introduction. Particular emphasis is placed upon the limitations of such a tool in the field of security, which is undergoing profound reconfiguration as a result of increasingly frequent cooperation between public, private and hybrid actors.

The dominant attitudes of public administration paradigm change and reasons of this change are presented in this article on the base of analysis of recent scientific publications. The materials of well-known international journals and other publications in public administration, as well as materials of global forums on reinventing government were used for analysis. It is emphasized, that previously widely used notions "New Public Administration" and "New Public Management" lately were partially changed by the notion of "New Governance" and its variations "Good Governance" and "Collaborative Governance". However, spread of these notions is not large and for analysis of public administration development problems sometimes it is more preferable to use notions which describe concrete aspects of public administration. It is argued that a great impact to the further development of contemporary public administration has globalization, spread of information technologies, training the next generation of leaders and so on.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ppaa.10.1.224

The purpose of the study is to examine the new public management (NPM) reforms in Ghana’s Ministries, Departments and Agencies, and at the local government level in terms of key changes implemented and its successes. The study also examines the challenges that have been encountered in the implementation process and recommendations to address the weaknesses in the system. The methodology used is based on the qualitative approach and the descriptive method. The findings in the study show that regardless of the in-roads made since the introduction of the NPM reforms, a number of challenges such as lack of expertise, lack of political will, inadequate resources among others, continue to affect the performance of Ghana’s civil service, which in turn, impact the delivery of public services. The study recommends that NPM reforms must seek to increase levels of accountability because monitoring the performance of key institutions will go a long way to promote efficiency and effectiveness in the public service. The significance of the study is that it provides key insights into important issues in Ghana’s NPM reforms, which can serve as useful tools for decision makers in moving the reforms towards accomplishing its goals more successfully. The outlined challenges and recommendations will inform the government, key policy makers and local government officials to enable them address the challenges affecting the effective implementation of NPM reforms. This study further contributes toward academic discussions relating to the impact of NPM reforms in Ghana and Africa in general.

The adoption of New Public Management (NPM) principles, practices and values in the Ontario public sector was one phase in the evolution of the accountability regime for universities and the post-secondary education (PSE) sector since the early 1990s. New Public Management advocates the adoption of private sector management principles and practices in the public service that re-defines citizens as customers, and emphasizes efficiency and effectiveness. It also places a high value on transparency and accountability to government. The research found that the evolution of the accountability regime for universities in Ontario was significantly influenced by NPM which has meant growing demands for universities to demonstrate value for money invested by government through institutional and system level performance measures and results. The findings in the comparative analysis of public policy and administrative reform of higher education in other jurisdictions show that the impact of NPM was even greater in the jurisdictions reviewed than in Ontario. The information and insights gathered from key informants in the PSE sector support the central argument and demonstrate the differing views on changes in the accountability regime and the challenges facing the PSE sector as a result of NPM-influenced reforms. The research also reveals a multiplicity of NPM-inspired accountability mechanisms: financial compliance focusing on administrative issues; voluntary accountability initiatives; and government-mandated performance measurement in terms of achievement of government’s policy goals of increased quality, access, and accountability. The changing nature of the accountability regime demonstrated an effort by the government to assert itself over autonomous entities over which it had very little control since the 19th century. It was concluded that the changes made by government in the accountability regime while not dramatic but incremental has had some impact in terms of holding universities more accountable. This incremental change in the accountability regime over several governments resulted in a disconnected web of accountability mechanisms which was not always effective. The paper concludes that there is a need for a rationalisation of the accountability framework that provides accountability to government and taxpayers without the costly burden of meaningless performance measurement and reporting.

This study aimed to analyze the impact of e-learning on training budgets, compare the standard costs of traditional training and e-learning, and formulate standard output costs of e-learning. This study was conducted to provide recommendations for improving budget efficiency in government organizations. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach by exploring phenomena in the government budget due to e-learning implementation. Data collection techniques were interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that e-learning implementation significantly saves the training budget and increases the number of training participants. However, the cost standard is less optimal because they do not cover all the costs needed to deliver e-learning. The standard costs should be differentiated for each type of e-learning. Also, the current organizational structure needs to be changed to achieve maximum efficiency in e-learning implementation.Keywords: Budget, Efficiency, E-Learning, New Public Management AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak e-learning terhadap anggaran pelatihan, perbandingan standar biaya keluaran pelatihan klasikal dan e-learning, dan penyusunan standar biaya keluaran sesuai dengan komponen pembentuk biaya yang diperlukan untuk menyelenggarakan e-learning. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan rekomendasi  dalam rangka meningkatkan efisiensi anggaran  pada organisasi pemerintah penyelenggara pendidikan dan pelatihan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus dengan menggali fenomena yang terjadi pada anggaran suatu instansi pemerintah sebagai akibat dari penyelenggaraan e-learning. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik wawancara, observasi, dan telaah dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelenggaraan pelatihan e-learning secara signifikan dapat menghemat anggaran pelatihan dan meningkatkan jumlah peserta yang dapat dilatih. Namun, standar biaya yang disusun saat ini belum optimal karena belum mencerminkan seluruh biaya yang diperlukan untuk menyelenggarakan e-learning. Standar biaya yang disusun sebaiknya dibedakan sesuai jenis pelatihan e-learning. Selain itu, untuk meningkatkan efisiensi anggaran atas pelaksanaan e-learning diperlukan penyesuaian kebutuhan kompetensi SDM dan struktur organisasi yang ada saat ini yang lebih sesuai dengan proses bisnis pelatihan e-learning.Kata Kunci:  Anggaran, Standar Biaya, Efisiensi, E-Learning

Development of village fund management is very much needed by the community so that it can be enjoyed by all levels of society in the villages. The seriousness of the government in developing villages is evidenced by the start of allocation of the Village Fund budget for 2015. The allocation of the Village Fund is mandated by Law (Law) Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages and Government Regulation (PP) Number 6 of 2014 concerning Village Funds Sourced from STATE BUDGET. The regulation explained that the administration of the village government adheres to the principle of decentralization and the task of assistance. The principle of decentralization raises village internal funding (Desa APBD), while the principle of co-administration provides an opportunity for Villages to obtain funding sources from the government above it (APBN, Provincial APBD, Regency / City APBD). This study aims to observe what the development of village funds looks like, how they are implemented and the impact of the use of village funds in supporting development activities and community empowerment. The research method used is a qualitative research method that relies on observing places, actors and activities in Konawe Selatan Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, which was chosen as a case study. Initial observations show that the Village Fund does not have significant results in improving the welfare of the community. These indications are evident in the welfare of the community which has not improved with the existence of the village fund. Therefore it is necessary to develop a good management of village funds to improve the welfare of rural communities, especially in Konawe Selatan District. The output to be achieved is the scientific publication with ISSN Online and the level of technological Readiness that will be achieved 1-3.

The chapter reviews the several definitions of governance: the minimal state; corporate governance; the new public management, ‘good’ governance; a socio-cybernetic system. It then stipulates a definition of governance as self-organizing, inter-organizational networks. It argues there is a trend from government to governance in British government because of the hollowing-out pressures and the tools for intergovernmental management are integral to effective steering. Policy networks are already widespread. This trend is not widely recognized and has important implications not only for the practice of British government but also for democratic accountability. Governance as self-organizing networks is a challenge to governability because the networks can become autonomous and resist central guidance. They are set fair to become the prime example of governing without government.
