Abstract

This study examines the labor market opportunities for traditional medical practitioners in light of Government Regulation Number 103 of 2014, focusing on the role of traditional health practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research investigates how natural remedies, particularly herbal medicines, continue to be sought by individuals to manage common health issues like fever, flu, and cough—symptoms similar to those of COVID-19, though not necessarily indicative of the virus. Despite the rise of modern healthcare, the findings reveal that traditional medicine remains highly valued within communities, with substantial demand for services offered by traditional healers. The study suggests that even with the implementation of regulations to formalize and standardize healthcare practices, the labor market for traditional medical practitioners remains robust. This demonstrates the resilience and ongoing relevance of traditional health services, highlighting their crucial role within the broader healthcare landscape.

Abstract

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, promotes local government as an autonomous sphere, but hierarchical political arrangements and party structures have weakened this, leading to a weakening of local voices. Local government is crucial for providing essential services like water, electricity, housing, and infrastructure development, aiming to bridge the gap between wealthy and disadvantaged communities and improve the quality of life. However, South Africa's local governments face numerous challenges in service delivery, including bureaucratic inefficiencies, insufficient resources, and systemic corruption, which hinder their ability to provide essential services to these communities. This study carefully explores the evolving role of local government within South Africa's macro-development agenda, focusing on the challenges of service delivery and the reforms in governance. It is grounded in three fundamental theoretical perspectives: the Democratic Participatory School, which underlines the importance of local government in promoting citizen engagement and accountability; the Efficiency Services School, which regards local governance as a means for effective and responsive service provision; and the Development School, which sees local government as a catalyst for socio-economic development and transformation. The study employs a qualitative research approach. The study explores the governance structures, policies, frameworks, and service delivery outcomes. The data collection emanates from secondary sources, including governmental reports, policy documents, and scholarly publications. The data is analysed thematically to uncover key service delivery challenges. In the quest to improve service delivery in South Africa, the study welcomes the proposed revision of the 1998 white paper on local government as a robust and decisive approach to strengthen service delivery outcomes. The study believes that revising the 1998 White Paper on Local Government presents a crucial opportunity to enhance service delivery in South Africa by addressing systemic challenges that have hindered municipal effectiveness over the past 30 years. A refreshed policy framework can improve the responsiveness of local governments, ensuring the timely and efficient provision of essential services such as water, sanitation, and electricity. The study further recommends the necessity for improved intergovernmental collaboration, increased stakeholder participation in municipal affairs, and capacity building within institutions to enhance governance effectiveness and ensure sustainable service delivery. The study concludes that it is crucial to reposition local government within the broader context of the national development strategy to achieve long-term socio-economic advancement.

Abstract

Plastic waste pollution has emerged as a critical transboundary environmental issue, posing significant threats to marine biodiversity, coastal communities, and ecosystem services. This study investigates the role of environmental diplomacy in addressing marine plastic waste through the 3RProMar (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Protect the Marine Environment and Coral Reefs) Project implemented in Manado, Indonesia, during the period 2023–2024. Manado was strategically chosen due to its high vulnerability to plastic leakage into the marine environment and the surrounding coral reef systems. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of multilateral cooperation in mitigating marine plastic pollution by examining the implementation of 3RProMar, a collaborative initiative involving the Government of Indonesia, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through content analysis of project documentation, semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, and an extensive review of relevant literature. The study identifies key challenges, including inadequate waste management infrastructure and limited public awareness. However, the findings indicate that the project has achieved significant progress through the integration of technological innovation, community education programs, infrastructure development, and capacity building. Notably, the initiative has contributed to a reported annual reduction of plastic waste by approximately 30% in the target area, alongside increased public engagement in sustainable waste practices. The research concludes that environmental diplomacy, when operationalized through inclusive, multistakeholder cooperation and context-specific interventions, can serve as an effective instrument for addressing marine pollution and promoting sustainable development in coastal regions.

Abstract

Global warming, driven predominantly by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels, presents a critical environmental challenge. The European Union (EU) has introduced frameworks such as the European Green Deal (EGD) to foster climate neutrality by 2050, with Denmark emerging as a frontrunner in renewable energy adoption. This study investigates how Denmark operationalizes the EGD’s objectives, focusing on renewable energy initiatives and their efficacy in mitigating climate impacts. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research analyzes policy documents, national strategies, and secondary literature to evaluate Denmark’s alignment with EU directives, including the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), and international commitments like the Paris Agreement. Key findings reveal Denmark’s significant progress in reducing emissions by 50% since 1990, primarily through large-scale investments in wind energy—contributing over 40% of national electricity—and solar power integration. Policy mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs, carbon taxation, and cross-sectoral partnerships have accelerated green technology adoption. Infrastructure innovations, including offshore wind farms and district heating systems, further underscore Denmark’s sustainable transition. However, challenges persist in decarbonizing agriculture and transportation, which account for 30% of emissions, necessitating enhanced electrification and behavioral shifts. The study concludes that Denmark’s success stems from robust policy coherence, public-private collaboration, and long-term regulatory stability, offering a replicable model for nations pursuing climate resilience. While Denmark’s achievements highlight the feasibility of EGD targets, scaling such strategies globally requires context-specific adaptations, particularly in developing economies. Future research should explore transferability barriers and sector-specific solutions to address residual emission hotspots.

Abstract

The removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria has sparked significant debates regarding its impact on governance, economic sustainability, and public welfare. This study examines the governance dynamics influencing subsidy removal and its economic implications for long-term development. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research collected data from 385 respondents in Bida, Niger, and employed a binary logit regression model to analyze the economic, social, political, and external factors influencing policy outcomes. The findings suggest that while subsidy removal aims to reduce fiscal pressure and enhance economic efficiency, it has triggered inflation, disproportionately affecting low-income households and exacerbating economic inequality. The social consequences include heightened public dissatisfaction due to rising transportation and living costs, with government palliatives failing to sufficiently alleviate economic hardship. Politically, subsidy removal has undermined trust in the government due to concerns about corruption and misallocation of funds. The study highlights the need for a transparent framework to manage subsidy savings, accompanied by comprehensive social welfare policies to mitigate negative impacts. Policy recommendations include targeted subsidies for vulnerable groups, improved public transportation, and increased government transparency to rebuild public trust and ensure sustainable economic reforms.

Abstract

This study explores the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing governmental efficiency within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, Nigeria. Anchored in the Socio-Technical Systems (STS) Theory, the research examines the interplay between technological innovation and sociopolitical structures in public governance. Employing a quantitative survey design, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 385 respondents selected via stratified random sampling. The data were analyzed using the chi-square statistical technique to test associations between key variables. The findings reveal that AI significantly improves decision-making processes and public service delivery, with 71% of respondents affirming its transformative potential in governance. However, the study identifies critical barriers, including inadequate infrastructure and insufficient technical expertise among public sector personnel. In response, the research advocates for the establishment of robust digital infrastructure, targeted AI capacity-building programs for government officials, and the ethical integration of AI systems. Furthermore, it recommends the implementation of pilot projects in strategic sectors such as healthcare, urban planning, and transportation to foster public trust and ensure inclusive adoption. The study contributes practical insights for policymakers, highlighting AI as a catalyst for transparent, responsive, and economically progressive governance in Abuja.

Abstract

This article explores the Sawah Pokok Murah (SPM) initiative in West Sumatra as a localized, reconstructive response to the capitalist-driven global food system. Through a historical sociology approach and food sovereignty framework, the study investigates how SPM challenges structural inequalities in global food markets by promoting sustainable farming practices and community empowerment. The paper analyzes the historical context of SPM, its socio-economic impact, and its role in resisting neoliberal agricultural policies. Key findings reveal that SPM empowers local farmers, reduces dependency on global supply chains, and fosters economic resilience, thereby providing a viable alternative to market-driven agriculture. However, challenges such as youth engagement and regional disparities highlight the need for targeted policy interventions. This study contributes to the discourse on food sovereignty and offers a critical perspective on how localized innovations can reshape global agricultural systems toward greater sustainability and equity.
