Gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) is essential to ensure gender equality and to achieve sustainable Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The implementation of decentralisation reform in developing countries has transferred roles of implementing DRR program to lower level of government including to community or village government. Hence, effective strategies to mainstream GESI in DRR activities in the community or village government is important to promote gender equality and to achieve sustainable development. However, what key issues and effective strategies to mainstream GESI in the lower level of community or village has not well-documented in developing countries. This study aims to identify key issues and GESI strategies for strengthening disaster resilient village based on existing literature in developing countries. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was used to identify GESI strategies for strengthening disaster resilient village in the existing literature. We able to find 142 studies related to GESI and disaster risk reduction in community level which published on SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Med Line between 2009 and 2019. From 142 studies we select 10 studies which are strongly relevant with the aim of this study. Five key issues are identified such as low human capital, patriarchal culture, resistance from traditional society, weak GESI institution and poor governance, and lack capacity of policy makers and implementers. There are four key GESI strategies area for strengthening disaster resilient in community level: (1) Organizational, (2) Capacity, (3) Operational, and (4) Resources. In the organizational area, the main strategy is provision of GESI sensitive policies and practices. In the capacity area, the main strategy is capacity development and lesson learning in the community disaster resilient program. In the operational area, the main strategy is embedding GESI in all phases of the community disaster resilient program. In the resources area, the main strategy is mobilizing funding and GESI expertise in the community disaster resilient program.

This study aimed to explore the challenges of school committees (SC) associated with participating in school governance, especially in elementary schools. SCs have a strategic role in participating in advancing education at the elementary level and for accountability for the implementation of school programs and activities. However, not all SCs have not been able to carry out their role as strategic partners for the development of primary school governance. This study used a qualitative approach in which the researchers collected data from the results of in-depth interviews and focused-group discussions (FGD). The FGD was used to enable the researcher to consider the investigation from the perspective of the interviewees. This approach also enabled the informant to involve more deeply in an in-depth study of the duties and functions of the SC in the selected schools. The research findings showed that some patterns of relationships exist between the SC and school management. The better the relationship pattern between the two institutions, the more optimal the role of the SC tends to be. On the other hand, the committee’s role is ineffective when the relationship pattern is less balanced and harmonious. The study concludes that to encourage the active involvement of parents in the education of their children at the community level, school administrators and committee members need to be continuously encouraged and empowered through continuous training and intensive communication between principals.

The research method used a literature study by analyzing previous research and other various reference sources, both from textbooks, national journals, and reputable international journals. As an analytical material, we provided an example of an analysis of the performance management system in Banyumas Regency Government. Based on this, it can be concluded that Banyumas Regency always strives to improve organizational performance and existing resources through the implementation of performance management practices although formally the Head of the Region has not yet established a performance management system that applies in Banyumas Regency
