Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the urgency of recovering state financial losses caused by corruption, as regulated in the relevant anti-corruption laws, and to explore the potential for incorporating restorative justice into the Indonesian anti-corruption legal framework. Research methodology: The study employs a normative legal research method, using statutory and case approaches. It analyzes relevant laws, judicial decisions, and international conventions such as UNCAC, to evaluate mechanisms for recovering state losses and propose policy improvements.. Results: The study finds that the return of state financial losses does not eliminate criminal liability for corruption offenders under Indonesian law. However, such restitution may serve as a mitigating factor in sentencing. It also identifies weaknesses in the civil recovery process and emphasizes the inefficiency of current mechanisms. The research supports the inclusion of restorative justice to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in asset recovery. Conclusions: The existing legal framework prioritizes retributive justice, which often delays the recovery of losses. A paradigm shift toward restorative justice, especially in corporate corruption cases, can support state financial recovery without necessarily eliminating criminal sanctions. Limitations: This study focuses solely on corruption cases involving state financial losses and does not fully address systemic reform needs. The civil law procedures discussed remain constrained by conventional legal frameworks. Contribution: This research contributes to legal scholarship by proposing a reformulation of corruption law enforcement through restorative justice principles. It informs policy makers and legal practitioners on the potential integration of non-punitive measures in corruption cases and supports the development of a comprehensive legal system for recovering state assets in line with international norms.

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the causal relationship between foreign aid and life expectancy in Zimbabwe. Research methodology: This study employed a Granger causality test to analyze the causal relationship between foreign aid and life expectancy for the period–1980-2019. Results: This study revealed that there is no causal relationship between foreign aid and life expectancy in Zimbabwe. Conclusions: This study focuses on the causal relationship between foreign aid and life expectancy in Zimbabwe. This finding reveals that aid does not improve life expectancy. Policies for Zimbabwe should not focus much on improving life expectancy by relying mostly on foreign aid, but through domestic financing. Limitations: The study's limitations include potential factors that may not have been included, which could impact the relationship between aid and life expectancy. These results are specific to Zimbabwe and may not be generalizable to other countries. Contribution: This study offers valuable insights to the government and other stakeholders in formulating evidence-based policies aimed at optimizing the utilization of foreign aid. Specifically, these findings can inform the design of targeted health policies with the potential to positively influence life expectancy outcomes in Zimbabwe. Novelty: While previous research has often focused on broad economic indicators, this study uniquely emphasizes health outcomes, specifically life expectancy, as a key measure of development. This study highlights the critical issues of aid mismanagement and corruption, advocating for greater transparency and accountability in the usage of foreign aid.

Abstract

Purpose: This study seeks to deconstruct the complex factors underlying the conflict between local miners, the Ada East District Assembly, and Electrochem Ghana by applying a Political Ecology framework. Research methodology: A qualitative analysis and the Political Ecology theoretical lens are used to examine underlying factors of the case. It draws on empirical evidence from similar conflicts in the region; and contextualizes the Ada East situation within broader patterns of industrial resource extraction and their impact on local economies. Results: Two core theses of Political Ecology emerge as most relevant to the case: (1) Power and Access to Resources, which examines how control over natural resources by corporations can marginalize local people and (2) Environmental Justice, which highlights the disproportionate socio-environmental costs borne by local communities. Conclusions: This study concludes that the conflict between local miners, the Ada East District Assembly and Electrochem Ghana is deeply rooted in competing interests over resource control, governance dynamics, and socio-environmental inequalities, as illuminated through the lens of Political Ecology. Limitations: The analysis is limited to secondary data from comparable cases, which vary in contextual specifics. Contribution: The study contributes to the literature on Political Ecology by demonstrating how this framework can be applied to assess real-world conflicts over resource access and industrial expansion. It also emphasizes the importance of equitable governance and sustainable resource management in mitigating such conflicts.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the impact of teacher pedagogical skills and teacher attendance on students' foundational literacy and numeracy performance in eight sampled basic schools across four districts in Northern Ghana. Methodology/approach: Using a mixed-methods approach, a total of 216 school visits were conducted, with 120 lessons observed. Results/findings: Results from the study revealed that most teachers in the Kumbungu district were rated either distinguishable or proficient, and the majority in Nanton, Savelugu, and Tolon were rated proficient. The mean scores showed that teachers in Tolon were lagging in some pedagogical skills. Regression analyses revealed that both teacher attendance and teacher pedagogical skills were significant determinants of students’ academic performance, especially in facilitating learners to achieve excellent grades. The qualitative findings also revealed that teacher attendance influenced students’ academic performance and attendance, which may eventually lead to a high rate of school dropout in the long run. Conclusion: Teacher attendance and teacher pedagogical skills play significant roles in student academic performance in literacy and numeracy even though there may be other contributing factors. Essentially, all stakeholders in education should adopt holistic approaches in addressing identified obstacles to improving learning outcomes. Limitations: The study considered only grades 1 to 3 teachers in eight schools and hence extending to other grades in these schools could have revealed diverse findings. Contribution: The study advances knowledge on the impact of teachers’ pedagogical skills and attendance on the academic performance of students and also inform policy makers to implement policies to address associated challenges.

Abstract

Purpose: This study focused on developing and evaluating Science Instructional Materials (SIMs) to address the least-learned competencies among Grade 8 students, providing structured resources for learners struggling with key scientific concepts. Research methodology: A research and development approach was employed, identifying the least learned competencies through summative assessments. The SIMs were designed based on these competencies and evaluated by science teachers, master teachers, and Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) members. The evaluation criteria included content quality, format, presentation, organization, and accuracy, with statistical analysis to examine differences in ratings. Results: The SIMs received high ratings across all evaluation categories, with no significant differences in the assessments from science teachers, Master Teachers, and LRMDS members, indicating broad acceptance and reliability. Conclusions: The findings showed that SIMs were highly rated, aligning well with instructional standards and classroom needs. While there were significant differences in ratings among evaluator groups, the overall acceptability was high, suggesting that the SIMs effectively addressed learning challenges, particularly in physics. Their structure, clarity, and adherence to curriculum standards were affirmed. Further validation is required in diverse educational contexts. Limitations: This study was limited to a single public secondary school, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Additional validation in various educational settings is needed. Contribution: This study provides an evidence-based approach for developing instructional materials in science education, focusing on addressing learning gaps and supporting competency development. Novelty: This study introduces SIMs specifically designed to enhance competencies identified as least learned, validated through expert evaluation aligned with curriculum standards.

Abstract

Purpose: This review examines the global progress and challenges of gender mainstreaming in development from 1999–2024. It evaluates how gender perspectives have been integrated into policy, institutional frameworks, and sectoral development efforts to achieve gender equality and sustainable development outcomes. Research Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review to analyze scholarly articles, policy reports, and institutional documents. It categorizes findings based on policy frameworks, institutional mechanisms, sectoral impacts, and regional variations, while drawing insights from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Results: The review identified significant progress in adopting gender-sensitive policies and institutional mechanisms worldwide. However, challenges persist, including policy implementation gaps, sociocultural barriers, inadequate funding, and varying regional effectiveness. While some regions have advanced gender equality in governance and economic participation, others still face systemic constraints on women’s participation. Conclusions: Although significant strides have been made in integrating gender perspectives into development frameworks since 1999, persistent structural and institutional challenges continue to hinder the full realization of gender equality and sustainable development goals. Limitations: This study did not account for the detailed country-specific challenges of all countries worldwide. Contribution: The findings highlight the need for more intersectional and localized gender-mainstreaming strategies, stronger monitoring and evaluation systems, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders to bridge policy-practice gaps.
