Abstract

Essentially, a Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDesa) operates as a social enterprise, a business entity that actively seeks solutions to address social problems in the community. In this regard, social enterprises need to be distinguished from other socially oriented organizations and initiatives that benefit the community but are not businesses and rely more on aid. In the context of a BUMDesa, as a socially oriented institution, it is intended as part of the village government's primary duty to provide solutions to social problems within the community. However, when the Village Government is able to resolve these social problems through activities that generate added value in terms of profit, this becomes a distinct advantage for the Village Government. In the next concept, the presence of BUMDesa as an economic or profit-oriented institution generates Village Original Income (PADes). This situation should motivate the village government and all related parties to work together to formulate a strategy for establishing Village-Owned Enterprises as economic institutions in the village capable of realizing the true function of BUMDes, including job creation and absorption of the village's workforce. This can be realized when Bumdesa managers are given full authority through the Village Deliberation to optimize all potential, assets, community institutions, and resources within the village to transform them into business opportunities that can become profit-oriented business units for the advancement and sustainability of the Bumdesa. Based on the aforementioned background, using a strengths (discovery) approach to these potentials, the topic of discussion in this paper can be formulated: "How to develop BUMDesa" by optimizing village community institutions (Karang Taruna/Mosque Youth) in managing mosque economic enterprises.

Abstract

Digital transformation in government has become an essential part of improving public service quality, bureaucratic effectiveness, and governmental transparency at the local level. The Government of Makassar City is considered one of the regions actively developing digital based public services through the implementation of e-government, smart governance, and the Electronic Based Government System (SPBE). This study aims to analyze the challenges of digital transformation within the Makassar City Government in the framework of e-government and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its implementation. This research employed a qualitative approach using a library research method through the analysis of scientific journals and related documents concerning governmental digital transformation. The findings indicate that the Makassar City Government has experienced significant progress in implementing digital services, particularly in population administration, public services, and the strengthening of information technology based governance systems. However, the digital transformation process still faces several challenges, including limited interagency data integration, inadequate digital human resource capacity, gaps in public digital literacy, regulatory changes, as well as issues related to data security and information technology infrastructure. This study also found that the success of digital transformation in Makassar remains sectoral and has not been fully integrated into a sustainable digital governance framework. Therefore, stronger coordination among regional institutions, improvement of bureaucratic competence, development of digital infrastructure, and optimization of SPBE implementation are required to ensure that governmental digital transformation can operate more effectively, inclusively, and sustainably.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of policy alienation in the implementation of the Papua Indigenous People (Orang Asli Papua/OAP) Empowerment Program in Sorong City, West Papua Province, Indonesia. Policy alienation refers to the psychological and structural disconnect experienced by street-level bureaucrats and target groups when implementing or receiving public policies. Using a qualitative descriptive approach with in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, this research explores how front-line implementers and indigenous beneficiaries experience alienation across four dimensions: powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, and social isolation. Data were collected from purposively selected informants, including OAP community leaders, local government officials, and program beneficiaries in Sorong City. The findings reveal that policy alienation emerges significantly in the program's implementation, primarily due to the top-down policy design that marginalizes indigenous voices, bureaucratic rigidity, limited participation of OAP communities, and weak coordination among relevant agencies. Front-line workers reported feelings of powerlessness in adapting policies to local cultural contexts, while beneficiaries expressed a sense of meaninglessness due to program outcomes that did not correspond to their actual needs and aspirations. These alienation dynamics ultimately undermine the effectiveness and sustainability of OAP empowerment initiatives. The study contributes theoretically to the policy alienation literature within the Indonesian indigenous people empowerment context and offers practical recommendations for participatory policy redesign to bridge the gap between policy intent and implementation reality.

Abstract

Political loyalty remains a defining feature of many developing political systems where access to economic opportunities is closely linked to relationships with governing elites. In Nigeria, the interaction between political networks and economic outcomes reflects a broader structure often described as crony capitalism, in which informal connections shape the allocation of state resources. This study examines how political loyalty influences welfare outcomes in Nigeria’s political ecosystem by focusing on access to government contracts, public-sector appointments, and related economic advantages. Using a panel dataset constructed from public records and governance indicators, the study employs econometric analysis to evaluate the relationship between political connections and measurable welfare outcomes. The findings reveal a strong, statistically significant association between political loyalty and improved economic welfare, suggesting that individuals and firms embedded in elite networks are more likely to benefit from state-mediated opportunities. At the same time, the results indicate that such patterns may contribute to unequal access to economic resources and weaken institutional accountability. By providing empirical evidence on the welfare implications of political loyalty, the study advances the literature on patronage politics and political economy in emerging democracies. The findings also highlight the importance of institutional reforms to promote transparency, strengthen governance structures, and ensure that economic opportunities are allocated through fair and competitive processes rather than through informal networks of political allegiance.

Abstract

Village development is an integral part of national development, which emphasizes efforts to improve community welfare through planning and implementation based on local needs. In this case, the village head plays the role of a development administrator who is responsible for the effectiveness of each stage of development, from planning to supervision. The role of the village head is not only demanded in the administrative aspect but also in the management of resources in a participatory, transparent, and accountable manner. This study will investigate the role of village heads as development administrators in Paccekke Village, Soppeng Riaja District, Barru Regency. This study employs qualitative descriptive research methods, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation, which are then analyzed through reduction, presentation, and verification. The study uses planning, organizing, mobilizing, and supervision as its indicators. The results of the study show that the role of the village head as a development administrator in Paccekke Village, Soppeng Riaja District, Barru Regency, is included in the satisfactory level of implementation. The planning, organizing, mobilizing, and supervising processes clearly demonstrate this. The Paccekke village head's planning for village development is fairly effective, as demonstrated by the preparation of RPJMDes and RKPDes documents in a participatory manner that involves both village officials and community representatives in the development planning deliberations. The organizing carried out by the village head is fairly effective. The village head has divided the tasks among the village apparatus, and community involvement is carried out through deliberation and physical development activities. However, there are still obstacles related to the need to improve communication and expand citizen involvement so that development is more participatory and equitable. In terms of implementation, the village head demonstrates an effective managerial role. The village head actively provides direction and motivation to village officials and the community, as well as encourages their involvement in development. The supervisory function carried out by the village head is fairly effective; the village head conducts monitoring from the planning stage to evaluation and is equipped with routine reporting. The village head directly supervises the field and adjusts policies when technical obstacles arise. Overall, the Village Head's role as a development administrator in Paccekke Village is going well, although several aspects still need improvement.
