In Papua Province, poverty has become an important problem common in other regions in Indonesia and worldwide, especially in developing countries. The Millennium Development Goals targets have pushed the Indonesian government to emphasize poverty reduction programs throughout Indonesia. Rural areas in Papua, particularly villages, have been the target point for the poverty alleviation program because many in rural areas experience poverty that is worse than urban areas. Rural development is considered an effective method for poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the development program as a whole has neglected rural communities. In Papua Province, poverty reduction programs have been implemented ineffectively due to part of the village development program, the top-down approach of the government, and the absence of competent resources. So far, village development policies have been implemented without considering village potential, spatial arrangements, holistic approaches, and lack of budget allocations. In addition, the role of village government shows an ineffective performance. Thus, this study aspires to identify how much influence communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure have on poverty reduction in Papua Province. This study indicates that communication, resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures affect village development policies and influence poverty reduction in Papua Province. This research also shows that the lower the performance of the implementation of village development policies indicated by four variables, the less effective it is in poverty alleviation in Papua Province. In this study, a novelty that previous researchers have not found has been found, namely; that in the effectiveness of poverty reduction, it is necessary to develop an effective communication so that program implementation can run optimally, and it needs to be supported by the character or behavior of the implementers of the village development program.

Descriptive Method

To stimulate rural development and reduce poverty in rural areas, The Government of Indonesia enacted the policy of Village Fund in 2014. However, a few studies have been conducted to examine this program. This study describes how poverty alleviation goes following Village Fund Program in Indonesia between 2015-2019. The poverty reduction was represented by holistic data, including insufficient and village status improvement through the Village Development Index (VDI). The analysis is conducted using a descriptive method by dividing the areas into six regions, Sumatera, Java & Bali, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku & NT, and Papua. The result showed that over five years, the village fund dramatically increases. Moreover, this growth is along with the slight decline the poverty. The researchers found that the decreasing number of poverty from 2015 to 2019 is about 15%. The VDI status for districts/municipalities shows that the status improved from underdeveloped villages in 2015 to developing villages in 2019. Java is the region that contributed to making the status improved either to be developing, developed, or independent. At the same time, it is the Papua region known as the region consisting of most of the least underdeveloped villages. Since the goal of this policy in poverty reduction still works slowly, it needs a lot of effort from many levels of government, from the village, regional, and national officials, to work together cooperatively.

Dalam perjalanan ketatanegaraan Indonesia, sistem pemerintahan desa kembali mulai diseragamkan melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran lembaga pemerintahan desa dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan berkelanjutan di pedesaan serta tata kelola kebijakan pembangunan desa melalui pemanfaatan Dana Desa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum empiris. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa faktor pendukung pelaksanaan tugas Kepala Desa di Kecamatan Trucuk yaitu adanya pengarahan, bimbingan, serta pelatihan bagi Kepala Desa dalam menyusun rancangan peraturan desa untuk mewujudkan percepatan pembangunan desa yang berkelanjutan. Sedangkan faktor yang menghambat pelaksanaan tugas Kepala Desa di Kecamatan Trucuk yaitu rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat dalam menyikapi program kerja yang dijalankan oleh pemerintah desa serta rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam memelihara fasilitas umum yang ada di desa. Pemerintahan desa yang baik adalah sebuah kerangka institusional untuk memperkuat otonomi desa karena secara substantif desentralisasi dan otonomi desa bukan hanya masalah pembagian kewenangan antarlevel pemerintah, melainkan sebagai upaya membawa pemerintah untuk lebih dekat dengan masyarakat. Pemerintah desa yang kuat dan otonom tidak akan bermakna bagi masyarakat tanpa ditopang oleh transparansi, akuntabilitas, responsivitas, dan partisipasi masyarakat.   IMPLEMENTATION OF ACCELERATION OF VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT IN REALIZING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BASED ON LAW NUMBER 6 YEAR 2014 ABOUT VILLAGE Abstract In the course of the Indonesian state administration, the village government system began to be uniform again through Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. This research aims to explain the role of village government institutions in the implementation of sustainable development in rural areas and the governance of village development policies through the use of Village Funds. The method used in this research is empirical legal research. The results of this research explain that the supporting factors for the implementation of the duties of the village head in Trucuk Village are direction, guidance, and training for village heads in drafting village regulations to realize the acceleration of sustainable village development. Meanwhile, the factors that hinder the implementation of the duties of the village head in Trucuk Village are the low participation of the community in responding to the work programs run by the village government and the low awareness of the community in maintaining public facilities in the village. Good village governance is an institutional framework to strengthen village autonomy because substantively decentralization and village autonomy are not just a matter of sharing authority between levels of government, but as an effort to bring the government closer to the community. A strong and autonomous village government will not be meaningful to the community without being supported by transparency, accountability, responsiveness and community participation.

The model of government policy has been somewhat over-oriented to the efficiency (development); this is especially in the urban areas. As a result, rural areas are left behind and the urbanization rates are continuously growing since the life supports in a city are more varied rather than the homogenous supports in a village. This results in inequality and the poverty within the village. To resolve this problem, the government has constituted the Regulation No. 6 of 2014 Considering Rural Areas in advancing the development of rural areas. The objective of this present study is to find out the effectiveness of the transfer of village funds in solving the issue of poverty in all villages within all the provinces in Indonesia during the period of the implementation of the program. Furthermore, this research was conducted by using econometric method through the equation of panel data in 2015 to 2016 in 33 provinces. The result reveals that the transfer of village funds is not significant in alleviating the issue of poverty in rural areas. By that, it is recommended to increase the amount of the fund of the program to reduce the rate of poverty in all villages in Indonesia.

At present, the Covid-19 contagious disease outbreak can spread rapidly throughout the world, including Indonesia. Apart from having a negative impact on the health sector, it also impacts the economic, social, cultural, resilience, tourism and other sectors. This can threaten people in rural areas who have gaps in health accessibility and high levels of poverty compared to urban areas. So it is necessary to carry out village economic development, but still protect the health of rural communities from the Covid-19 disaster. This cannot be done by the government alone. Interdisciplinary and field cooperation is required by referring to the principles of collaborative governance. The research objective was to determine the ideal collaborative governance model in village development during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. This method can be studied comprehensively and deeply. The results of this study indicate that in South Lampung Regency there are already several priority activities in the economic and health sectors, some of these priority activities such as Covid-19 Response Village, Village Cash Intensive Work, Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance (BLT), and other Infrastructure Development. These priority activities are collaborations carried out by the government, society and business

The disappearance of Rwanda’s forests and attendant change in climatic conditions prompted the government to explore clean energy alternatives such as biogas. Unlike at any other time in Rwanda’s history, more and more Rwandans in rural areas are becoming owners of cattle because of the Government of Rwanda’s agricultural direct assistance and poverty reduction programme known as Girinka. This chapter focuses on the various strategies employed by the government of Rwanda in achieving increased biogas use among the rural poor Girinka beneficiaries who use cow dung for their domestic biogas plants. Conditions necessary for successful implementation of clean energy pro-poor reforms in rural communities are explored.

Penyebaran wabah COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease Tahun 2019) yang bermula di bulan Desember 2019 dari salah satu negara di Asia semakin meluas dan berskala pandemi telah mencapai hingga ke hampir di seluruh belahan dunia. Di Indonesia penyebaran COVID-19  ini telah menularkan hingga mencapai 307.120 orang, dengan korban meninggal sebanyak 11.253 jiwa (BNPB, 2020b). Situasi ini menggambarkan bahwa penyebaran virus corona adalah secara masif dan dengan korban jiwa yang besar. Hingga saat ini belum ada pengobatan yang dapat menyembuhkan virus corona ini. Penyebaran COVID-19 ini semakin meluas hingga ke seluruh wilayah di Indonesia, dan tidak terkecuali di wilayah pedesaan. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh masyarakat desa adalah kurangnya kepedulian masyarakat terhadap pandemi COVID-19 dan protokol kesehatan yang telah ditetapkan pemerintah sebagai upaya dalam memutus rantai penyebaran virus corona. Di satu sisi masyarakat desa berupaya untuk dapat mempertahankan ekonomi keluarganya dengan tetap melakukan aktivitas di luar rumah walaupun dengan risiko yang besar. Melihat situasi ini maka tergerak keinginan untuk melakukan program bakti sosial dengan tujuan sebagai salah satu bentuk kepedulian dan realisasi dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat khususnya di pedesaan. Kegiatan dalam upaya bersama masyarakat untuk memperkokoh mindset masyarakat terhadap pencegahan penyebaran COVID-19 adalah melalui pembuatan spanduk himbauan di beberapa lokasi yang sering dilewati masyarakat, penyemprotan disinfektan ke rumah-rumah warga, penempelan stiker, dan sosialisasi protokol kesehatan sebagai wujud dari mengubah mindset masayarakat yang masih belum percaya. Seluruh kegiatan ini mendapatkan dukungan dan antusiasme masyarakat desa yang berjumlah 2.325 jiwa serta mampu mengubah mindset sebelumnya. The spread of the Coronavirus Diseases 2019 called the COVID-19 outbreak, which began in December 2019 from one of the countries in Asia. That is increasingly widespread, and the pandemic scale has reached almost all parts of the world. In Indonesia, the spread of COVID-19 has infected up to 307,120 people, with 11,253 deaths (BNPB, 2020b). This situation illustrates that the spread of the coronavirus is massive and with enormous casualties. Until now, no treatment can cure this coronavirus. COVID-19 is increasingly spreading to all regions in Indonesia, and rural areas are no exception. The problems experienced by rural communities are the lack of public awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic and the health protocols that the government has set to break the chain of the spread of the coronavirus. On the one hand, the village community strives to maintain the family's economy by carrying out activities outside the home even though it is at significant risk. Seeing this situation, the desire to carry out social service programs moved to concern and realization of community service activities, especially in rural areas. Activities in a joint effort with the community to strengthen the community's mindset towards preventing the spread of COVID-19 are through the making of appeal banners in several locations that are often passed by the community, spraying disinfectants into people's homes, sticking stickers, and socializing health protocols as a form of changing the mindset of people who still do not believe it. All of these activities received the support and enthusiasm of the village community, totaling 2,325 people, and were able to change the previous mindset.

The ability of primary caregivers to provide a healthy, nurturing and stimulating environment for their children is essential for children’s educational advancement and emotional development. However, caregivers who live in the rural areas in South Africa face many challenges, ranging from acute poverty and limited education and skills to feelings of social inadequacy and marginalisation. These factors directly and indirectly affect their ability to care for children and thus these children’s educational progress and future economic and social prospects. This article describes the experiences of illiterate caregivers in the Eastern Cape, South Africa, in attempting (or otherwise) to assist the children in their care with their schoolwork. An exploratory study was conducted in the village of Ku Jonga in the Eastern Cape’s rural Coffee Bay, which used focus groups comprising caregivers and teachers. Among the findings was that many children’s lack of educational advancement in the school system has complex origins, but that the illiteracy of their primary caregivers (which results in their inability to help with schoolwork or to provide the motivation or environment for learning) is a leading cause. A key conclusion was that caregivers, teachers and external stakeholders (for example the government and civil organisations) need to work together to arrive at a common understanding of the specific problems and priorities of rural communities, particularly with regard to education, and to introduce practical initiatives to help these communities become more motivated, productive and self-sustaining.

Abstract For several years the Government of Indonesia has been initiating the growth of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), economic institutions that manage the village’s economic resources. The Central Java Provincial Government also provides incentives to establish BUMDes in most villages in Central Java. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some rural communities were affected, and the village economy stagnated. BUMDes is one of the village economic institutions that is expected to be able to drive the village economy in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to analyze the potential of BUMDes as a solution to handling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in rural areas, especially from an economic aspect in Centra Java. This type of research is descriptive with the main qualitative approach assisted by quantitative (mixed method). The research technique used was a survey involving 337 villages. Respondents came from elements of village officials and BUMDes managers. The instrument used was through online media (google form). Data analysis used descriptive statistical techniques in the form of means and percentages. The conclusion of this study shows that BUMDes has the potential to play a role in economic recovery, but this function is not yet optimal. because the business sector managed by BUMDes is not based on the village’s superior potential, as well as the lack of a business development concept, weak human resource and capital capacity, and lack of cooperation.
