Abstract

This study aims to analyze trends, developments, and directions of scientific research related to decentralization and performance evaluation between 2015 and 2025. Using a bibliometric approach and data from the Scopus database, this study evaluates scientific publications based on the number of documents, country contributions, institutional affiliations, keywords, and collaborative networks between authors. The analysis shows that the number of publications fluctuates, with a significant spike in 2024. China is the country with the highest contribution to publications, while contributions from Indonesia remain very minimal. In terms of affiliations, Chinese universities dominate scientific production in this field. Network visualization shows that collaboration between researchers remains low and fragmented. The most dominant keywords are decentralization, blockchain, and performance evaluation, which form several research clusters that show links to financial management and public policy topics. These findings indicate the need to increase the involvement of Indonesian researchers and strengthen global collaborative networks on the topic of decentralization and performance evaluation.

Abstract

This study explores how rural farming households in Gibe District interpret their participation in non-farm activities and how such engagement influences their overall welfare. Using a qualitative research design grounded in sustainable livelihoods and diversification theories, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with household members engaged in various non-farm occupations. The findings reveal that non-farm work is perceived as a strategic complement to agriculture, enabling households to mitigate livelihood risks associated with land scarcity, market volatility, and climatic uncertainty. Participants consistently described non-farm income as contributing to multidimensional welfare improvements, including enhanced food security, educational access, healthcare affordability, and strengthened women’s decision-making power. However, these benefits are moderated by structural constraints such as unstable earnings, limited capital, and unequal access to profitable opportunities. The study contributes a novel interpretive perspective to the literature by emphasizing the meaning-making processes through which households evaluate welfare, moving beyond conventional economic indicators. The findings underscore the importance of integrated policy measures that expand equitable access to non-farm opportunities, strengthen rural financial systems, and support gender-responsive livelihood strategies.

Abstract

Teff is a major cereal crop extensively cultivated in Gombora Woreda of Hadiya Zone, Central Ethiopia. Despite its importance, significant disparities in productivity exist among teff-producing farmers, largely due to differences in resource use efficiency. This study aimed to assess the level of economic efficiency in teff production and to identify key sources of inefficiencies among smallholder farmers in the study area. The research was based on primary cross-sectional data collected from 185 randomly selected producers using a two-stage sampling technique. A Stochastic Frontier Model (SFM) was employed to estimate economic efficiency levels and identify influencing factors. The results revealed that the mean economic efficiency of teff producers was 41.9%, indicating that there is potential to enhance output by 58.1% through improved resource allocation and utilization under existing technological conditions. The Stochastic Frontier Production (SFP) function identified several factors that significantly influenced economic inefficiency, including education level, soil fertility, livestock ownership, farm size, off-farm income, extension contact, training, and distance to market. Notably, farm size and distance to the nearest market were found to positively and significantly impact economic inefficiency, suggesting that larger and more remote farms face greater challenges in optimizing resource use. The findings highlight a considerable scope for improving economic efficiency among teff producers through interventions aimed at enhancing both technical and allocative efficiency. Strengthening extension services, improving market access, and promoting farmer training are recommended to boost productivity and ensure sustainable teff production in the study area.
