Partnership Models

Nowadays, the field of healthcare is facing difficult issues in a way that both public and private sectors are fully aware of their inability to address emerging public health-related issues without the help of the other sector. Accordingly, public-private partnerships are put on the agenda in policy-related issues as a mechanism of cooperation between the public and private sectors to take into account the interests of both parties in the related contracts .From the late of 2019, the world is struggling with a new virus called the coronavirus, which has already cost a lot to the health sector. The partnership between the government and the private sector is very important to get through the corona period since the government alone cannot be responsible for the negative effects of the virus in the field of health. Considering the successes and failures of countries in the implementation of partnership models, a question arises as to how such partnerships for health development strategies can be attractive and effective in developing Islamic countries. In addition to the review of theoretical foundations of the subject and examining the development process of public-private partnerships, the study emphasizes the use of the third sector capacities. It further reviews the endowments and charitable affairs in the framework of multi-sectoral partnerships to develop health in the community with all available potentiality. The theoretical framework of the research includes the four steps of policy-making in the country, creating common perspectives among stakeholders, ensuring key success factors in the project, and reviewing the achievements of participation are considered. These policies are described after classifying and reconstructing the components in the research literature.

The Impact

As a country with high risk of disasters, the people of Indonesia have to prepare and anticipate these calamities. One of the most important aspects of disaster risk reduction at the local level is social capital. This paper discusses the role of social capital in strengthening community disaster preparedness for effective respond and its potential for building back after recovery, focusing on local wisdom, prior experiences and re-establishment of community livelihoods. Local wisdom plays an important role in raising community efforts to find relief and recover from the impact of the earthquake in Bantul and floods in Jambi. The spirit of community-self, mutual help and fundraising help the Javanese in Bantul to be strong and care among neighbors. The community that supported by the local leaders and institutions agreed to set up priority for affected people who need more help. Meanwhile, experiences of the people in Jambi on regular floods made them aware and assisted them to develop self-efficacy beliefs in disaster preparedness, including making plans as well as increasing skill to get ready for and respond to this disaster. This paper also shows that in addition to economic recovery programs from the government and donor in Bantul and Aceh, the community in Jambi used floods as a source of their alternative livelihood through fishing and its related activities, and perceived floods as economic opportunities. This paper utilises empirical evidence from cases across Indonesia that are collected from my research results under LIPI and Human Ecology research activities. Data is also collected from secondary sources that largely rely on desk reviews of relevant books, documents, papers, and other references.

Background: The phenomenon of COVID-19 has remained a mystery to mankind. It is not just about the disease but has also multiple ripple effects on every aspect of life. It has completely changed the course of living in a short period. The entry of Covid-19 has taken a heavy toll on human beings in particular and on every government and institution in general. Hence, for the survival and safeguard of the human race, various governments came up with protocols and measures against the spread of Covid19. Apparently, lockdown is one of the strategies widely adopted by the governments as a means to overcome the Covid-19 issue. Although, being under the same umbrella, there are countries that are worst affected by Covid-19 while some countries do not face as much. No doubt that the virus has reached every nook and corner of the globe, as a matter of fact Mizoram which is situated at the corner of most of North-East India has also been under the distress of Covid-19 Aim: The study examined and understand governance on Covid19 in Mizoram. It stresses how the government and various organizations had given efforts in this situation and how the policy being adopted by them has had an impact on the people so far. It also emphasises the issues and challenges of governance policy on Covid-19 for further references. Methods and Materials: The study was descriptive while data is collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources was based on empirical analysis and questionnaire collected through online survey method while secondary sources include articles, journals, newspapers and internet. Findings are based on an online survey method that was conducted with a sample size of 500 and the universe of the study is Aizawl, Mizoram. Results: Findings of the study have suggested that there is a lack of efficiency in carrying out the governance policy on COVID-19. Although, studies have shown that the setting up of Task Force initiated by the government and their contribution and involvement in the governance is considered remarkable. Conclusion: After all, COVID-19 is assumed to exist long enough along with human beings, therefore, for the survival of an individual, one needs to work and function daily. Thus, by keeping that in mind, Mizoram in particular where the economy is weak and not self-sufficient, the State government and official experts have to adopt new methods and strategies besides “lockdown” for the well-being of the people.
