It has been nineteen (19) years of special autonomy imposed in the land of Papua. But the problem of education in Papua and West Papua is not something new to hear. Papua and West Papua still rank 31 out of 34 provinces in Indonesia. Policies to improve the quality of human resources of Papuans are an important part of the framework for bringing prosperity to all Indonesians. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. To see the results of the policy evaluation researchers used the theory of evaluation according to Willian N Dunn on four (4) criteria namely; Efficiency; Effectiveness; Leveling out; Responsiveness. Research Results: 1. The education budget allocation of 20% of the APBD is only 13% which has been realized, around 7% that has not been implemented. 2. Undergraduate Scholarship Program, Teacher Welfare Program, and Dropout Rate Program, which is implemented by the City Government of Sorong, has been running well. But there is no clear budget transparency from the Government related to these education financing programs. 3. Every year around 200 indigenous Papuan students are given scholarships. Teacher welfare has been noted but is not guaranteed. Weak economic students are given tuition fees. 4. The implementation of the education funding program by the City Government of Sorong is still unknown by all Sorong city residents, lack of socialization and some programs are still closed. Otonomi khusus sudah diberlakukan di tanah Papua selama sembilan belas tahun lamanya. Tetapi, masalah pendidikan di Papua dan Papua Barat bukan sesuatu yang baru untuk didengar. Papua dan Papua Barat masih menempati peringkat ke-31 dari 34 propinsi di Indonesia. Kebijakan untuk meningkatkan kualitas sumberdaya manusia Papua menjadi bagian penting dari kerangka kerja untuk membawa kesejahteraan bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Untuk melihat hasil evaluasi kebijakan, peneliti menggunakan teori evaluasi menurut Willian N Dunn pada empat (4) kriteria: Efficiency, Effectiveness, Leveling out, dan Responsiveness. Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan: pertama, alokasi anggaran pendidikan sebesar 20% dari APBD hanya 13% yang telah terealisasi, sementara sekitar 7% belum dilaksanakan.

On 21 July 2012, a huge thunderstorm hit Beijing, prompting the city government to act immediately to deal with the emergency. Yet great losses were caused, exposing problems about urban flood control and drainage, and making people take a new look at them. It is not uncommon for a rainfall of such a degree to happen in Asia. Comparatively speaking, however, unlike in Beijing, fewer damages are caused in Taiwan, Japan and the Philippines given the same situation. In this article, therefore, the problems arising after a heavy rainfall and their solutions will be discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the role of electronic governance (e-governance) in enabling asylum seekers’ access to public services in the city of Durban, South Africa. Because of COVID-19, the government scaled down its operations, limiting access to public services, including among migrants. Design/methodology/approach Because of COVID-19-related restrictions, a systematic review was conducted of the relevant academic literature as well as the information portals of relevant government departments, municipalities and research reports on migration and refugees in South Africa. A total of 320 peer-reviewed research articles were identified. These were filtered and 68 relevant articles were selected. Findings The study found that asylum seekers have limited access to public services via information communication technology-enabled mechanisms. Whilst the city government has embraced e-governance, it is still in its nascent stages. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to a desktop one because of COVID-19 restrictions and it focused exclusively on asylum seekers. Therefore, its findings can only be generalised to this category of people. Practical implications Future studies on this subject should gather data from all categories of migrants to gain in-depth perspectives. Social implications All spheres of governance in South Africa should recognise asylum seekers as a constituency that deserves access to public services. E-governance can facilitate easier access to these services, and policies need to be aligned with this reality. Originality/value This study examined the efficacy of e-governance in enabling access to government services by asylum seekers during COVID-19. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no other study on this subject was conducted during this period.
