This study investigated the application of a blockchain for promoting the sustainable development of non-profit organizations (NPOs). Transparency and good governance are important for operating NPOs in addition to building trust with relevant stakeholders. NPOs consume a large amount of resources (including funds) to monitor their operations and present their transparency and soundness of governance to interested stakeholders. Blockchain technology can fulfill an NPO’s requirements at a lower cost and with a higher efficiency. We reviewed the existing research on NPO governance and blockchain applications. In addition, through case studies, we identified sustainable development strategies for NPOs involving blockchain technologies to increase donation, reduce cost, enhance transparency, and improve governance structure.

Governance Modes

Since the Myanmar central government decentralized some of its power to state and regional governments, few studies investigated the performance of local governments, and no studies investigated the relationships between the types of governance modes and the performance of public service delivery. This study investigates the associations between three types of governance—i.e., hierarchy, market, and network—and the multiple performances of agricultural services in terms of the competing public values of efficiency, effectiveness and equity in southern Shan State. The findings indicate that the three types of governance simultaneously coexist in local agriculture departments and that their associations with the performances of public services differ. Network governance is negatively associated with efficiency, effectiveness, and equity during its initial stage, but these associations become positive when the degree of network governance increases in agriculture departments. In contrast, market governance is positively related to effectiveness and equity during its initial stage; however, increasing the degree of market governance further leads to a negative association with both public service values. This assessment of the performance of public programmes in terms of the trade-offs among public service values contributes to improving the local governance of public service delivery not only in Myanmar but also in other developing countries.

Public Health Crisis

Public health crises are the “touchstone” to test the ability of national public health crisis governance. The public health crisis in the new era presents new characteristics: systematic, cross-border and uncertainty. The governance dilemma of a public health crisis generally emphasizes the joint participation and communication of different subjects, which is suspected of overlapping and redundancy, and lacks the auxiliary support of major public health crisis events. It dispels the significance of government-level cooperation. The essence of the public health crisis governance system is the chain law of stimulus–response. In combination with COVID-19 development in China, we track down the main reasons for the temporary disruption and the government’s response to this major public health crisis. We mainly examine the tension between the centralization of power in China’s governance structure and the effectiveness of local governance, and the control of local governments in information disclosure. The response to a public health crisis and the optimization of a decision-making mechanism should build tension between the centralization of power and effectiveness of local governance. It is suggested that government should disclose and share information to the public timely and pay more attention to the core value of order in crisis management.

The question of who should provide public services has continued to gain attention among scholars and practitioners. Existing studies on public service delivery have primarily focused on the `make' or `buy' decision, resulting in their lack of knowledge in public/private joint service delivery, especially at the county level. This study fills the research lacuna by incorporating the institutional theory of local governance and government capacity. Using the 2002 ICMA Survey on Local Governments' Alternative Service Delivery, this study examines what factors account for the adoption of public/private joint service delivery in American counties. Probit analysis is employed to estimate county choice of joint service delivery in 2002. Overall, the findings suggest that the reformed political structure has a modest influence on joint service delivery. The findings also suggest that government capacity has negative influence on joint service delivery.

The purpose of decentralization is to improve the welfare of local communities, public services, and regional competitiveness mandated by Law 32/2004 on Regional Government. However, in the context of good local governance, a task of achieving the public welfare is not only carried out by local governments, but also supported by two other pillars in good governance, the business community and civil society at the local level. Thus, in terms of good corporate governance, it is known as corporate social responsibility (CSR), a form of corporate responsibility to the local community. The experience of the East Kutai Regency - East Kalimantan is an inspiration for other regions to initiate the formation of multi-stakeholder corporate social responsibility (CSRMSH). Keywords: decentralization, public welfare, corporate social responsibility, good corporate governanceTujuan desentralisasi adalah untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat, meningkatkan pelayanan publik, dan meningkatkan daya saing daerah. Hal ini merupakan amanat yang tertuang dalam UU No. 32 Tahun 2004tentang Pemerintahan Daerah. Kendatipun demikian, dalam konteks kepemerintahan daerah yang baik/good local governance (GLG), tugas dankewajiban peningkatan kesejahteraan tersebut bukan hanya menjadi tugas pemerintah daerah, tetapi juga menjadi tugas dua pilar lain yakni kalangan dunia usaha dan masyarakat madani di tingkat lokal. Karenanya, dalam konteks pengelolaan perusahaan yang baik yang dikenal istilah tanggung jawab social perusahaan atau Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) dalam bentuk pertanggungjawaban sosial perusahaan kepada masyarakat lokal di sekitar peruahaan. Pengalaman Kabupaten Kutai Timur - Provinsi Kalimantan Timur merupakan inspirasi bagi kabupaten lainnya dalam menginisiasi terbentuknya forum multistakeholder CSR (MSH-CSR).Kata Kunci : otonomi daerah, tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan, pengelolaan perusahaan yang baik.

Abstract The purpose of transparency is to provide open financial information for the community in order to realize good governance. in order to realize the good governance in relation to the implementation of regional autonomy, it is necessary to reform the management of regional finance and state financial reform. The implementation of regional autonomy in its entirety brings logical consequences in theform of governance and development based on sound financial management.Transparency will ultimately create horizontal accountability between local governments and communities in order to create clean, effective, efficient, accountable and responsive local governance of community aspirations and interests. The facts show that in the management of local budget / finance as if still compiled with the concept of less mature / perfect, in a hurry and finally born prematurely or not well. Regulations that are born prematurely certainly contain various weaknesses and deficiencies and even lack of direction. Moreover, if born in the condition of high political temperature that is the war of interest among agencies who feel authorized to regulate it so that the level of transparency of financial management, especially at the regional level still contains a lot of uncertainty and indecision in providing guidance to the direction of local financial management policy. This has resulted in confusion among local governments in managing their finances. Keywords: analysis, regional finance and transparency Abstrak Tujuan transparansi adalah menyediakan informasi keuangan terbuka bagi masyarakat dalam rangka mewujudkan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang baik (Good Governance). dalam rangka mewujudkan good governance tersebut dalam kaitannya dengan pelaksanaan otonomi daerah, maka diperlukan reformasi pengelolaan keuangan daerah dan reformasi keuangan negara. Penerapan otonomi daerah seutuhnya membawa konsekuensi logis berupa penyelenggaraan pemerintahan dan pembangunan berdasarkan manajemen keuangan yang sehat. Pada dasarnya penerapan prinsip transparansi keuangan sangat membantu penyusunan anggaran pemerintah daerah (RAPBD) yang objektif dan berkualitas. Prinsip akuntabilitas dan transparansi keuangan diyakini dapat mendukung usaha mewujudkan pilar-pilar penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang bersih dan berwibawa. Tingkat transparansi pengelolaan keuangan khususnya di tingkat daerah masih banyak mengandung ketidakjelasan dan ketidaktegasan dalam memberikan pedoman kepada arah kebijakan pengelolaan keuangan daerah. Hal ini mengakibatkan kebingungan pemerintah daerah dalam pengelolaan keuangannya. Kata kunci: analisis, keuangan daerah dan transaparansi

Abstract Local governance in developing countries demonstrates many problems related to financial sources and good governance of their finances. Local Self-Government (LSG) units in the Republic of North Macedonia are very small which results in a lack of capabilities to raise enough funds to offer delegated services. The local government in the Republic of North Macedonia centralizes almost all public finance. Local budgets depend heavily on state transfers and donations from the central budget. The lack of funds remained a crucial problem even though there were some attempts for the decentralization process. Practically, governments in many of the local governments in North Macedonia could not secure their resources. In this way, they could come with specific charges, but all taxes are decided by the central government. The practice showed that local governments before borrowing needs to be approved by the Ministry of Finance. The Republic of North Macedonia as a potential candidate to join the European Union should make several changes regarding the legislation during the process of accession to benefit from being a small candidate country. The main aim of this paper is to investigate alternative financial sources such are Municipal Bonds, Partnership Sukuk securities, and PPP. Unfortunately, many financial alternatives have not been able to be implemented due to failures in reforms and good financial governance. But they remain an open opportunity for developing a local government in the future.

 The implementation of local governance involves not only the detachment from the shackles of central hegemony, the implementation of decentralization and regional autonomy policies, and the level of empowerment of civil society, but also attention to the ongoing conditions of the transition to democracy in people's lives in the region. Debureaucratization policy is one of the prerequisites for the implementation of good governance. The application of this policy requires the existence of a regional bureaucratic structure that can guarantee that there will be no distortion of aspirations coming from the community and avoid abuse of power. Debureaucratization requires that local governments can be more adaptive to changes and dynamics of society. Thus the bureaucracy will be more just and in favor of the sovereignty of the people so as to prioritize the interests of the people in a professional, proportionate and efficient manner. Debureaucratization practices and decentralization policies have become the main determinants that influence the dynamics of change for the realization of regional governance.

The almost unanimous passage of a landmark consensus constitutional amendment—the 18th Constitutional Amendment—restored Pakistan’s constitution to its original intent of a decentralized federation of provinces as envisaged in the 1956 (two provinces) and 1973 (four provinces) constitutions. This article takes a closer look at the provisions of this amendment and highlights both the potentials and pitfalls of the new constitutional order for good governance in Pakistan. It argues that the amendment represents a step forward but encompasses several missteps in creating a harmonious political and economic union. The 18th Amendment has reinforced an outmoded “pot-belly” model (federalism of provinces) whereas an “hourglass” (federalism of local governments) model is more suited to Pakistan‘s circumstances. Major fundamental reforms are needed that right-size the federal and provincial governments, strengthen local governance, enforce fiscal discipline and citizen-based accountability for service delivery performance on all orders of government, dismantle provincial barriers to factor mobility and internal trade, and restrain beggar-thy-neighbor policies and unaccountable governance by “empowered provinces” to mitigate the unintended adverse consequences of the 18th amendment for nation building and citizenship in Pakistan.
