Abstract

The intersection of faith organization and international humanitarian efforts remains a relatively underexplored domain within the broader discourse of non-governmental organizational studies. This research delves into the operational dynamics of Muhammadiyah, a prominent Indonesian Faith-Based Organization (FBO), as it engages in global humanitarian endeavors—a practice herein referred to as ‘humanitarian diplomacy’. The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the contributions of Muhammadiyah in humanitarian diplomacy, thereby filling a gap in the literature that predominantly focuses on International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGOs) and state actors, with scant attention to national or FBO. This study parses the organization’s activities into four core dimensions, as stated by Minear and Smith (2007): the orchestration of presence, the negotiation of access, the mobilization of advocacy, and the oversight of programmatic assistance. A narrative of Muhammadiyah’s operational strategies and diplomatic engagements was reconstructed through a qualitative methodological approach, including interviews with Muhammadiyah affiliates and a comprehensive review of secondary data sources such as academic theses, research articles, and news reports. The findings revealed that Muhammadiyah’s humanitarian work has been closely aligned with the theoretical tenets proposed by Minear and Smith. The organization’s effective arrangement of its presence in various regions, strategic negotiation for access in complex environments, active engagement in advocacy to amplify the needs and rights of affected populations, and diligent monitoring of assistance programs have collectively demonstrated a sophisticated model of humanitarian diplomacy at work. This study not only contributes to a more nuanced understanding of FBOs in humanitarian diplomacy but also provides a template for other national and local NGOs seeking to navigate the challenges of international humanitarian work.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to identify the factors influencing the implementation process of digitalization policy through the "Markaz UMKM" application in Wonosobo Regency. Methodology – The research method employed is qualitative analysis, with primary data sources derived from in-depth interviews with two informants from the Wonosobo Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN) and three informants from business actors using the application. This is supported by secondary data from credible sources. Findings – The results indicate a successful implementation of the digitalization policy through the "Markaz UMKM" application in Wonosobo Regency. Positive impacts were felt by business actors in utilizing digital technology for their business processes to widely promote local products. Socialization and training conducted by the Wonosobo Chamber of Commerce and Industry successfully enhanced business actors' understanding of digitalization and the application. However, a constraint faced is the lack of awareness among urban communities regarding digitalization. Practical Implications – Business actors are able to develop and widely introduce their products. Furthermore, there is a need for application development to facilitate the buying and selling process, as well as collaboration among stakeholders and related parties so that the "Markaz UMKM" application becomes more widely recognized and can assist business actors. Originality/Value – The novelty of this research lies in the use of Marilee S. Grindle's policy implementation theory and its focus on the factors influencing the implementation of digitalization.
