Abstract

This study focuses on probing the challenges of Developmental Local Government in Municipal service delivery within Vhembe District Municipality. The study further argues that despite the vital role in promoting the socio-economic needs of the communities through local community engagement in the municipality, the Developmental Local Government is challenged with, among other problems, maladministration and corruption. Developmental local governance, also known as local governance for development, aims to improve the future of communities by promoting local socio-economic development programs and projects. This study advocates for a qualitative approach to probe the impediments. The study reveals that various encounters contribute to the challenges of Developmental local government in municipal service delivery in the Vhembe district municipality. To deal with the impediments of municipal service delivery in developmental local government, there is a need for the municipality to foster public accountability. It is therefore recommended that, to ensure capacity building for effective service provision, good governance needs to be ensured. From conclusions drawn from key findings, it is argued that the enhancement of community participation, provision of education and training to municipal employees, has to be implemented through municipal policies.

Abstract

The 2023 removal of Nigeria's fuel subsidy, which was supposed to free up fiscal resources for development, resulted in dramatic price hikes, inflation, and widespread popular anger. This paper contends that the reform's failure arises not only from technical or planning shortcomings, but also from the ubiquitous effect of informal institutions on policy implementation. Fuel merchants, bureaucratic gatekeepers, and political elites formed networks that influenced pricing, distribution, and palliative measures, shifting benefits and undercutting compensatory efforts. Using a qualitative single-case study and informal institutions theory, the analysis shows how these individuals deliberately undermine formal changes, resulting in active trust destruction, in which citizens regard policy failure as deliberate rather than incidental. The findings indicate that ad hoc and opaque relief measures enhance distrust, limiting the legitimacy gains of reform. The report concludes that without institutionalised transparency, effective monitoring, and regular compensation, Nigerian subsidy reforms will continue to fail, growing public scepticism and jeopardising economic and political stability.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of gender stereotypes on women’s career progression in Bida Metropolis, Niger State, Nigeria. Drawing on Gender Role Theory and Feminist Theory, it examines how culturally embedded beliefs and institutional practices shape women’s access to promotion, training, and professional networks. A convergent mixed-methods design was employed, combining a survey of 398 respondents with qualitative interviews and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, and the Chi-square test of independence. The findings reveal statistically significant relationships between gender stereotypes and key career outcomes, including promotion bias (χ² = 45.21, p < .001), limited access to training (χ² = 39.58, p < .001), and exclusion from professional networks (χ² = 18.73, p < .001). A significant gender difference was also observed in promotion experiences (χ² = 6.52, p = .011), with women more likely to report being overlooked. Qualitative evidence indicates that women adopt adaptive strategies such as enhanced performance, mentorship engagement, and peer support to navigate these barriers. The study concludes that gender stereotypes operate through both cultural and structural mechanisms to constrain women’s career advancement. It recommends institutional reforms, equitable access to professional development, and targeted awareness initiatives to promote gender-inclusive workplaces.

Abstract

The National Strategic Food Estate Program in Central Kalimantan (2020–2024) failed to achieve its objectives not solely due to technical agricultural issues, but because state policy lost its footing in local institutions, knowledge, and community values. This article addresses one central question: how can indigenous values ​​be translated into governance mechanisms that restore the legitimacy and effectiveness of state food policy? Using qualitative case studies in Pulang Pisau, Kapuas, and Gunung Mas Regencies (May 2022–July 2025) through in-depth interviews, participant observation, focus group discussions, and document review, this research identified five consistent patterns of failure: centralized knowledge and one-way socialization, a ban on land burning without alternatives, technological assistance inappropriate to field conditions, a lack of community involvement in planning, and the neglect of ecological knowledge and customary institutions (Damang). This article then proposes six principles of Belom Bahadat of the Dayak Ngaju community as a procedural framework that links local values ​​with public administration functions: Pambelom (planning), Imbelom (coordination), Mambelom (implementation), Hakam (supervision), Kabelom (accountability), and Kabalumam Belom (social justice). Its theoretical contribution is bridging the study of collaborative governance and policy implementation with customary institutions; its practical contribution is an instrument that can be adopted by the bureaucracy through regional regulations, equal coordination forums, and customary law-based supervision. This article emphasizes that decolonizing food governance is essentially an effort to restore the coherence of state institutions so that policies are rooted in the values, culture, and needs of local communities.

Abstract

Decentralisation has been widely promoted as a mechanism for enhancing democratic governance, accountability, and service delivery, particularly in developing countries. In Nigeria, however, the formal adoption of decentralised structures has not translated into meaningful local government autonomy, raising important questions about the political realities underpinning governance reforms. Although existing scholarship has generated important insights into decentralisation, local government autonomy, fiscal arrangements, governance performance, and elite capture, comparatively less attention has been given to explaining how the political and institutional mechanisms through which elite actors constrain local autonomy shape governance outcomes within decentralised systems. This study examines the paradox of decentralisation without autonomy by investigating how, and through what political and institutional mechanisms, federal- and state-level elites constrain local government autonomy in Nigeria, and with what implications for governance and citizen engagement. Adopting a political economy perspective, the study draws on secondary data from constitutional provisions, policy documents, audit reports, and empirical studies, which are analysed using qualitative content and thematic analysis. The findings show that fiscal centralisation, administrative interference, and patronage networks constitute the principal mechanisms through which local autonomy is constrained. While state governments are the primary actors through which these mechanisms operate, federal institutions also sustain the broader constitutional and intergovernmental framework that enables them. Consequently, local governments function less as autonomous centres of governance than as dependent institutions operating within a hierarchical political system. The study contributes to decentralisation, political economy, and public administration scholarship by advancing a mechanism-based explanation of how formal decentralisation can coexist with enduring patterns of elite control, thereby informing ongoing debates on decentralisation reform in Nigeria and comparable contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of Digital Population Identity (IKD) service quality on public satisfaction at the Population and Civil Registration Office of Garut Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design was employed. Data were collected from 100 IKD users selected through an accidental sampling technique, which was considered appropriate because no comprehensive sampling frame of active IKD users was available. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that IKD service quality has a positive and significant effect on public satisfaction (path coefficient = 0.749; t = 17.398; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.560) shows that service quality explains 56.0% of the variance in public satisfaction, while the remaining 44.0% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The findings suggest that reliable digital services, clear information, responsive service officers, and user-friendly service processes are key determinants of citizens' satisfaction with IKD services. Considering the geographical characteristics of Garut Regency, improving citizens' satisfaction requires not only continuous enhancement of service quality but also context-sensitive strategies, including expanding digital access, strengthening digital literacy, and improving the accessibility of IKD services for communities in remote areas
