Economic Relations Division (ERD) formulated “Fund Allocation and Management policy for ProjectPreparation and Readiness” on 6 March 2017 to provide financial support for feasibility study andland acquisition at the project preparation stage of various Ministries/Divisions of the Government ofBangladesh. Despite such efforts, ERD did not get any response from relevant Ministries/Divisions toimplement the policy. The paper critically examines the causes behind the implementation failure ofthe policy. The study found that officials of the project implementing Ministries/Divisions were notwell informed about the policy in particular. Moreover, the Ministries/Divisions, which have severalinitial roles to play in order to bring implementation process on board, have hardly done anything toprove that the existing bureaucratic set up is reluctant to take proactive initiatives to implement newpolicies unless they are somehow forced by the external environment. Besides, there exists a similarkind of fund, allocated in favour of the Programming Divisions of the Ministry of Planning, whichallow the project implementing Ministries/Divisions to get financial allocation for a feasibility studyat the project preparation stage. This similar kind of fund may decrease the importance of the ERDformulated fund for project readiness. Similarly, absence of allocation in the right place is also one ofthe root causes for implementation failure. Considering the findings, among others, recommendationsinclude holding of workshops for further dissemination of the policy documents and the scope andresponsibilities of each Ministry/Division.

According to Minister of Home Affairs  Regulation No. 56 of 2015 concerning Code and Data of Administrative Area, it is mentioned that Papua is one of 34 provinces in Indonesia with the highest number of villages by 5,419 villages, 110 urban villages, and 558 sub-districts scattered in 28 regencies and 1 city. The high number of villages in a regency/city area has an effect on the amount of village funds allocated by the Central or Provincial Governments for each district/city, thus affecting the amount of regency/city APBD. Village Fund Allocation is a manifestation of the fulfillment of the right for the village to implement the principle of autonomy for the village to grow and develop following the growth of the village itself, based on diversity, participation, original autonomy, democratization, and community empowerment. However, the increasing number of village formation burdened the government budget to finance the formation of new villages, so that the village formation had a significant and positive effect on the amount of regional finance, especially regency/city and provincial APBD. For example, in the 2016 fiscal year, Tolikara Regency had a total of 541 villages spreading across 46 districts and received the largest village fund allocation of Rp320.04 billion. Thus, Tolikara Regency ranked 1st with the most villages and the largest village fund in the Papua Province. In contrast, Jayapura City with a total of 13 villages was the regency/city with the least number of villages and the least amount of village fund of Rp. 12.51 billion.

If you have read this book, whether a few pages at a time, by jumping back and forth, or meticulously from beginning to end, the aim of this chapter is to draw together the methods, concepts, and ideas to help you answer the question, how do I make a good analytical measurement? If nothing else, you will have discovered, like the answers to the greater questions of life, that there is not a simple prescription for quality assurance that if followed leads to success. Even knowing if you have the right answer is not always vouchsafed; is customer satisfaction sufficient? Does the continuing solvency of your business say that something must be going well? Does staying within ± 2σ in interlaboratory studies cause you happiness? The best laboratories do all of this and more. At the heart of a good laboratory is an excellent manager who has recruited good staff, set up a culture of quality, and who understands the science and business of chemical analysis and the requirements of his or her clients. I do not believe laboratories can be run by people with only managerial skills; at some point a chemical analyst is going to have to take responsibility for the product. In this reprise of the book’s contents I revisit the six principles of valid analytical measurement (VAM) so cleverly enunciated by the Laboratory of the Government Chemist. But first some words about clients and samples. As has been stressed throughout this book, many problems can be solved by chemical analysis, and the point of chemical analysis is therefore not to do chemistry for its own sake, but to contribute to the solution of those problems. Clients, or customers as now found in ISO/IEC 17025, come in many shapes and sizes, from people who gladly admit no scientific knowledge at all to fellow professionals who can discuss the analysis as equals. The first kind are more difficult to work with than the latter, although colleagues who meddle are never totally welcome. An apparently simple request to analyze something might require extensive negotiation about exactly what is needed.

The FATA reform process is not a one-time exercise that could be completed through certain legal and administrative action but is a multi-dimensional process with short, medium and longer-term dimensions. The government has set up an 11-member task force to speed up the implementation process and pay special attention to the proposed legal reforms, FATA’s development and the security mainstreaming of FATA. To oversee this process, a high-powered National Implementation Committee, set up in 2017, is tasked to regularly review the progress of the FATA reform on the basis of periodical reports of the Task Force. The proposed reforms packages, besides envisaging reforms at different spheres, also aims to bring bringing about brighter socio-economic prospects to the tribal areas. It could be said that the reforms are also pivoted around boosting the socio-economic status of the tribal people. This paper presents a critical analysis of the merger plan and also critically examines the implications of reforms for FATA.

Muaro Tombang Village, Sungai Manau Village and Bukit Kauman Village are the three villages in Kuantan Mudik Sub-District that have not had access to 100% clean water. Indicators of success and sustainability of the Pamsimas Program are the quantity and quality of water sources, management policies and management strategies for the Pamsimas Program. The quantity of water in the three villages in terms of discharge and minimum reservoir capacity meet the needs of the community, the water quality in the three villages there are several parameters that do not meet the quality standards of the Minister of Health Regulation No. 416 of 1990 concerning Clean Water Quality Requirements, so it needs to be treated for water Pamsimas Program.

In the Indian gems and jewellery industry, the cottage industry-based diamonds-processing and jewellery-making units compete with modern factories which use state-of-the-art machinery and computerized operations. The Indian gems and jewellery units have set up a worldwide network of offices in every hotspot on the diamond industry map. The phenomenal growth in gems and jewellery exports is a record among the large Indian export sectors. In fact, the gems and jewellery industry presents itself as a perfect case study for discussing how to build competitiveness of Indian industries. This sector has grown to become one of the leading export oriented industries in the country and contributes around 15–20 per cent of total merchandise exports (and 20–30% of manufactured exports). This sector recorded an export turnover of US$ 14 billion during calendar year 2004. Now even the Government of India perceives the gems & Jewellery sector as not only a potential and a large foreign exchange earner but also a thrust area for employment generation. The most important contributors in the industry have been Cut and Polished Diamonds; Coloured gemstones; and Gold Jewellery accounting for almost 95–97 percent of Gems and Jewellery exports of India. According to GJEPC, India accounts for 80–85 per cent of the world's CPD market in volume terms, 55–60 per cent in value terms and about 90 per cent in unit terms. This figure clearly indicates that India is likely to become a leading exporter of jewellery and gems both in manufacturing and trading. The industry has shown a very impressive growth and is moving in the right direction. India has been able to achieve a dominant position in diamonds and is emerging as the fastest growing jewellery sector in the world. The adequate support extended by the government in terms of pragmatic policies has helped significantly in helping India to be a global hub for gems and Jewellery both in manufacturing and trading. However, lot more has to happen for potential of this sector to be fully achieved.

One of the goals of the state is to educate the nation. Education is the right of every Indonesian citizen regardless of social status, economic status, ethnicity, ethnicity, religion, and gender. ‘Education for all’ ensures educational services are provided for students who have physical or mental barriers, economic and social barriers or geographical barriers. In the era of regional autonomy the strategic policies adopted by the Directorate General of Primary and Secondary Education related to education policy are: (1) management of school-based quality improvement; (2) education based on community participation (community-based education); (3) using learning paradigms or learning paradigms; (4) the Government also plans education based on Broad Base Education System (BBE). The policy implementation process can only begin if the goals and objectives that were originally general in nature have been detailed, action programs have been designed and a number of funds/ costs have been allocated to realize these goals and objectives. Keywords: implementation, educational policy, Indonesia

Urban poor community development programs have significantly improved the lives of slum dwellers and increased the quality of life for residents, but the discussion concerning ways to set up the policy for urban community development remains in the conceptual stage. However, in this paper, we will discuss the most important factors for government agencies when considering how to set up the policy. For this research, we collected and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative methods. From the data analysis, we discovered that the seven key factors of community-driven housing development and management are: (1) community spiritual life; (2) community savings; (3) community cooperation (4) housing development participation; (5) community organization; (6) operations research; and (7) leadership. The government policies that must be established for the management of urban poor communities are: (1) land management policy; (2) decentralization; and (3) land banking policy. Our recommendations in this paper will also be relevant to developing countries similar to Thailand such as Laos, Vietnam, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Cambodia, and South Africa.
