Abstract

Most studies have concentrated on the impacts of Covid-19 on socio-economic development. Despite this focus, there remains a significant gap in the literature, with limited exploration into how the Covid-19 pandemic has presented substantial challenges in rural South Africa, particularly concerning healthcare access, and how it has hindered progress towards the achievement of sustainable development goal 3 outlined in Agenda 2030. This paper seeks to analyse the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, which have created obstacles in the pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of Agenda 2030, specifically goal 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all individuals across all age groups. The paper contends that the Covid-19 pandemic has presented formidable hurdles that have impeded healthcare access and advancement in numerous rural communities in South Africa. Currently, many rural regions appear to be falling behind in their efforts to guarantee healthy lives and improve societal well-being, as outlined in SDG 3 of Agenda 2030 and Sections 24 and 27 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996). This paper is primarily theoretical, drawing extensively from an examination of existing literature to establish its arguments, supported by a desk-based study that reinforces its position. The paper reveals that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected South Africa’s interim strategy to accomplish SDG 3, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all individuals by 2030, by necessitating a duplication of its budget and a reallocation of resources towards healthcare-related initiatives. In conclusion, the paper asserts that achieving universal good health and well-being (SDG 3) by 2030 is currently unfeasible and speculative for rural South Africa, given the country’s considerable distance to cover and numerous socio-economic challenges that are impeding progress. This paper recommends early strategic planning and innovative approaches from both public and private stakeholders to advance good health and well-being for all, thereby realising the objectives of SDG 3 of Agenda 2030.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate the how complexity affects local government in South Africa. Local government is the closest sphere to the local people in South Africa. This sphere of government is charged with the responsibility of providing goods and services to the public. However, local governments in South Africa are glued to complexity that produce ineffectiveness and inefficiency in terms of providing goods and services to the local communities. This paper relies on an assertion by Prof. Nghamula Nkuna, who refers complexity within local government as a situation where people or stakeholders do not confine themselves to a single site, nor do they always engage others in the same manner. He further states that the manner in which the ward public officials of a local municipality chair the ward committee meeting is different from the way he or she reports to the local traditional leader, and interactions vary as obligations and roles shift depending on the situation. For example, most councillors elected to local government are also employed as teachers, and they are also serving in other community structures. The findings indicate that the complexity within local government create multiple challenges, such as ineffective decision-making, slow implementation of policies, policy fragmentation and inconsistency, and strained relationships and collaboration. The paper is purely qualitative, which adopts literature-based methodology. It concludes that local government, where most public officials hold one position, do well in terms of delivering services because there is no conflict of interest. This paper recommends that local government should enforce a single-site duty towards public officials so that they engage others in the same manner to circumvent challenges created by the complexity within local government.

Abstract

This work investigated the dangal (dignity) of barangay workers amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The study aimed to know what is dangal for barangay workers during the pandemic, what factors enhanced and limited their dangal, and how can their dangal be promoted. This research is significant due to lack of studies about the personnel serving in barangays - the smallest local government unit in the country. Barangay officials, employees, and volunteers were interviewed, and their responses were evaluated based on themes. Analysis of data revealed that barangay workers had to face several risks and challenges amid their longing to fulfill their duties and responsibilities as public servants. They employed various coping mechanisms although such were insufficient to adequately promote their dignity. Dangal for barangay workers has external and internal domains. The external domain is comprised of their physiological needs and social identity. In the internal domain, dangal is affected by self-fulfillment in performing duties and responsibilities, especially through pakikipagkapwa or the provision of services and assistance to community members. To promote the barangay worker’s dangal; national, provincial, city, and municipal policies must be implemented. For the external domain, remuneration, compensation, benefits, and recognition must be provided. For the internal domain, it is critical that they thrive in an environment that discourages corruption and support actions that reflect honor, excellence, and integrity.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the public value contained in the social piety dimension of Wayang Wali culture, as a driving instrument for policy development of the capacity of cultural communities and the people of Blitar. The data collection method used in this research is a qualitative study with unstructured observation and documentation study. The data were analysed using componential techniques to find the interrelationship of values contained within the scope of the research object. We found that there are elements of social piety in Wayang Wali culture as a public value in the community, and can be used as a driving value for cultural and community capacity development. The government or relevant authorities can make Wayang Wali culture an instrument of social development and capacity building of cultural communities and society as a local identity.

Abstract

Public aspirations are essential in policy formulation in an ideal political system. Especially at the village level in Indonesia, many researchers argue that with the implementation of village funds, the implementation of participation at the village level can better capture public aspirations. However, in reality, efforts to absorb public aspirations in a participatory manner experience many obstacles. One important suspicion is that this public space may not be a comfortable and safe public space for people to express their aspirations. By using a mix method, this research explores alternative explanations based on empirical data that people tend to use their own social space as a safe and comfortable space for aspirations.
