Abstract

This study describes Indonesia's strategy to ensure children's participation through the National Children's Forum policy. Based on the significant increase in the fulfillment of children's participation rights in Indonesia in the 2018-2022 timeframe and seeing the position of the National Children's Forum (FAN) as a forum and meeting place that discusses children that are attended directly by the only children at the national level who directly or indirectly have the power to be able to provide input on policies regarding the fulfillment of children's rights and protection at the national level to the Indonesian government. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative research, which uses interview methods and a literature review to describe the behavior of events in detail based on facts. These are then analyzed to reach analytical conclusions to the research questions. The findings of this research show that Indonesia's policies in guaranteeing children's participation rights include the establishment of the National Children's Forum by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection. These efforts include regulations, indicators of Child-Friendly Districts/Cities, and the establishment of Children's Forums down to the village level. The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection also involves families, schools, and communities through special programs. Indonesia is active in regional and international forums, such as the ACF, which influence the formation of policies related to children's rights. These strategies demonstrate Indonesia's commitment to realizing child participation at various levels.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to understand how UNICEF, as a foreign aid actor, plays a role in internalizing children's rights norms into local policies and practices in Makassar City. The issue examined stems from the gap between global commitments through the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the reality of child protection at the local level. A qualitative approach with a case study strategy was used, as it is appropriate for exploring complex experiences, perspectives, and social processes. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with members of the Makassar Children's Forum (FAM) and officials from the Makassar City Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A); supplemented by participatory observation and analysis of official documents such as mayoral regulations, UNICEF reports, and training modules. The thematic analysis results show that the internalization of children's rights norms occurs through three main channels: technical assistance, policy advocacy, and community capacity building. This process follows the Norm Life Cycle pattern while undergoing adaptation through norm localization mechanisms. FAM acts as a norm translator that connects global values with local culture, such as siri and gotong royong. This study contributes theoretically by expanding the discourse on foreign aid as an instrument for norm diffusion, and practically by emphasizing the importance of local ownership in the sustainability of child protection. The findings suggest the need for stronger cultural translation strategies in child protection policies and programs at the regional level.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the Indonesian government’s efforts to establish international cooperation in the education sector, with a particular focus on United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). It particularly examines how UNICEF can contribute to addressing literacy challenges in Merauke District, Papua—one of the areas where students exhibit low reading and writing skills in the early years of primary education. From an international relations perspective, it highlights how education diplomacy can strengthen local capabilities through global cooperation, exemplified by UNICEF’s Early Grade Literacy Program. Drawing on interviews and program report analysis, this study revealed a significant reduction in non-readers, from almost half to less than a quarter, while the number of students who could read and comprehend texts fluently almost doubled. Creative engagement, like the use of songs, teaching aids, and parent education campaigns, proved the effectiveness of international cooperation at a local scale. These findings not only support the inclusive education targets in the SDGs but also reinforce the strategic role of education diplomacy in addressing disparities in marginalized areas.  KEYWORDS Education; Indonesia; International Cooperation; Papua; UNICEF

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in Rawa Makmur Village, Samarinda City, with a focus on improving political literacy and strengthening the social capacity of the fishing community. The activities used participatory methods through socialization, political literacy training, digital literacy, and community leadership combined with interactive lectures and group discussions. The program was held on September 11, 2025, and was attended by 50 participants from five fishing groups. The pre-test results showed that residents had a low understanding of democratic principles, the function of elections, and political rights, while the post-test results showed a significant improvement in these aspects. In addition, the active involvement of women and youth groups in the discussions marked the expansion of more inclusive political participation. Learning media in the form of printed modules, short videos, and community forums proved effective in facilitating the education process. This activity not only increased residents' political knowledge but also encouraged the creation of communication forums among fishermen as a platform for public policy advocacy. Thus, this program shows that community-based political education can be an effective strategy for strengthening participatory and sustainable local democracy.

Abstract

This study discusses the dynamics of nightlife tax policy in Makassar City, particularly in the Nusantara Street area, which is known as a center of nightlife activities and a location for covert prostitution. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines how Local Regulation No. 1 of 2024, which stipulates a 75% increase in nightlife tax, functions not only as a fiscal instrument to increase Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), but also as a social regulatory instrument. The results of the study show that this policy has dual implications: on the one hand, it strengthens the political legitimacy of the city government in responding to the moral demands of the community, but on the other hand, it gives rise to unexpected consequences in the form of new negotiations between the government, nightlife entrepreneurs, and sex workers. High taxes actually encourage the capitalization of sex workers' bodies, widen the economic dependence of the surrounding community on the nightlife industry, and open up space for informal political compromise between entrepreneurs and officials. This study confirms that fiscal policy is never neutral, but is always linked to local social, political, and economic dynamics. The necessary follow-up is strengthening alternative policies based on a humanistic and inclusive approach, such as providing formal employment, economic empowerment programs for women, and more transparent and accountable supervision.
