Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the performance of two different local governments in two different nations using decentralization and policy implementation theories. It will also provide a general overview of the situation in these two nations at the time that Covid-19 began to spread. Using a comparative case study (CCS), this study compares local government response to Covid-19 in Gambia and Indonesia. In this study, the pandemic Covid-19 was given the same effect in each country but produced different results depending on government activities in each country. When the first Covid-19 cases appear in their countries, Gambia and Indonesia face a similar problem, but they also have a similar strategy for dealing with this pandemic outbreak. The Gambian government provides food, personal protective equipment (PPE), and essential sanitary items, as have several local governments in Indonesia. Gambia and Indonesia also establish a task force (both central and local government) to control virus spread, which becomes a key action in both countries' management of the Covid-19 outbreak. This research find that the role of local government in translating policy from the central government becomes critical to a region's success. A country's central government must not only maintain good performance in areas where it already excels, but also provide education and strong attention to local governments that are still struggling in order for them to improve their performance.

Abstract

This paper explores the importance of Voluntary Local Reviews (VLR) in the localization and acceleration of the attainment of a powerful global blueprint to deliver a better future. The paper regard Local voluntary Reviews as accelerators and an inclusive approach for the localization of the 2030 Agenda. According to the 2030 Agenda (A/RES/70/1: Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development) encourages member states to “conduct regular and inclusive reviews of progress at the national and sub-national levels, which are country-led and country-driven”. The value of VLR in advancing SDG implementation has been increasingly recognized at national and international level. The Paper used documentary sources to gather information relevant to the thematic area. These included journal articles, books, local and regional governments reports. The researcher also examined the VLR pilot reviews in The Gambia supported by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and other relevant partners. The Paper strongly recommends peer-to-peer learning to enrich VLR processes at local level with a view to bolster local action.
