Abstract

This research aim to identify and describe the role of international organization United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in improving the quality of education in Papua in 2020-2021. The research used a descriptive method with secondary data, was collected through literature such as journals, documents and the internet, and used qualitative data analysis techniques. This research used the theory of the role of international organizations from Clive Archer to explain the research questions. The results of this research, the condition of education in Papua is a complex problem, which is related to various factors that make education very lagging. Starting from high poverty levels, uneven implementation of the curriculum, limited teachers, limited schools, diverse socio-cultures, relatively high illiteracy rates, lack of enrollment of the population who are currently in school and increasing dropout rates, this situation makes the Human Development Index (HDI) low. Efforts have been made by the local government, but there are still challenges in improving the quality of education in Papua. As an international organization that focuses on the protection and welfare of children around the world, UNICEF performs its role as an international organizational actor by running the rural and remote education initiative for Papuan Provinces.

Abstract

Social harmony is a crucial foundation for sustainable community life, particularly in religiously oriented communities where latent social fragmentation may emerge despite shared beliefs. This article examines a community empowerment initiative aimed at strengthening social harmony through religious and cultural approaches in Jorong Dusun Tuo, Nagari Limo Kaum. The program employed a participatory community empowerment approach that positioned community members as active agents in addressing social distance between two congregations with limited interaction. Religious engagement and local cultural activities were utilized as primary instruments for fostering inclusive interaction, trust-building, and collective participation. Data were collected through participatory observation, informal interviews, and reflective discussions, and analyzed descriptively to capture changes in social relations and community dynamics. The findings indicate that the integration of religious and cultural approaches effectively reduced social barriers, enhanced intergroup communication, and strengthened social cohesion without undermining existing identities. Religious values provided ethical motivation for unity, while cultural practices created experiential spaces for cooperation. This study concludes that empowerment-oriented social interventions grounded in local religious and cultural contexts offer a practical and adaptable model for strengthening social harmony in communities experiencing latent fragmentation.
