“…Sometimes those who have the ability are not involved in formulating village regulations. (Hans Antlöv, Anna Wetterberg, 2016) Emphasized that an active government and civil society engagement must ensure that regulations are not distorted during implementation and that ordinary people are included in public policy making. Decentralization and democratization are necessary but not sufficient preconditions for developing the countryside.…”

“…To encourage local government response and accountability to community-level needs, intervention and policy reforms are needed to support empowered and inclusive communities where the poorest and most marginalized have a voice in the decision-making process and can decide on the development division. Funding at the community level and controlling incentives for service delivery, as well as strong and democratic village institutions, can carry out integrated participatory development planning, implementation, and supervision (Antlov and Eko, 2012;Hans Antlöv, Anna Wetterberg, 2016) In terms of capital reporting, until 2017, only 84 Bumdes have recorded initial capital reports/equity participation; there are still 29 Bumdes that have not recorded their initial capital. Based on the report, the initial capital of Bumdes in the Konawe Regency was IDR 7,475,292,469, ranging from less than IDR 50,000,000 to IDR more than IDR 150,000,000.…”

“…The combination of strong financial management systems, new national institutional arrangements, and a more empowered population are pivotal factors that can put pressure on the village government to work in the interest of the Community to achieve the goals as mandated by the Village Law, although substantial risks and obstacles remain (Antlov, 2003) (Antlov and Eko, 2012;Hans Antlöv, Anna Wetterberg, 2016;Mccarthy et al, 2017;Bebbington et al, 2004). Only financially viable institutions can sustainably reach the poor in significant numbers (Seibel and Parhusip, 1998).…”

Since Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning villages, the Indonesian government has disbursed substantial funds directly to villages. One of the objectives of allocating these funds is to establish a village-owned enterprise (Bumdes). This study aims to evaluate these institutions. To assess the performance of the Bumdes, criteria, indicators, and verifiers were used following the regulations of the Minister for underdeveloped regions and transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia, Number 4 of 2015. Research carried out in 2019. Eighteen Bumdes were selected in 18 sub-districts as samples from the 113 Bumdes formed in the Konawe district. This study aims to see to what extent the existence of Bumdes has been able to contribute to improving the village economy. Respondents in this study were Bumdes stakeholders, starting from the district level (head of the Village Community Development Agency, Head of the Regional Development Planning Agency, and Head of Development), head of sub-districts, village heads, Bumdes Managements, and Community Leaders. The results showed that most of the Bumdes had not been able to properly compile business plans due to their administrators’ low human resource capacity. As a result, Bumdes capital is not developed and depends on only the allocation of village funds. The existence of Bumdes has not provided a real contribution to the increase in economic activity and village development as envisaged

“…Among these were "NGOs that sold subsidized rice destined for the poor, NGOs established just to gain access to development projects, NGOs established by political party activists to mobilize funds and support to gain political power, as well as NGOs acting as debt collectors or specializing in mobilizing mobs for hire." 51 These errant groups engender distrust among the citizens and invite suspicion from the government. They also tarnish the reputation of civil society groups in general.…”

This article assesses the shortcomings and possibilities of deepening civic participation in Indonesia’s government decentralization. Applying an expositive-critical-reconstructive approach and using Habermas’s theory of law and democracy, this study addresses the main question: “What democratic principles must be adhered to by Indonesian citizens to achieve the purpose of government decentralization?” This article argues that government decentralization in Indonesia has brought democracy closer to the people; however, it did not necessarily result in the active participation of citizens in local government affairs and in crafting local regulations. This deficit requires the local governments to institutionalize the ideal lawmaking procedures and inherit democratic ethos. The local people must be educated and capacitated to maximize the benefits of government decentralization, while civil society groups step in to practice democratic principles in civic participation and lawmaking.

Rural Development is a major concern of the Indonesian government and has grown rapidly in the last decade. However, the pattern of development and its correlation to poverty remains a question mark. Using the Difference in Difference estimation model we analyzed whether the economic transformation in the rural area that occurred in the period 2014 to 2018 correlated with a decline in rural poverty. This study utilized secondary data from the micro dataset referring to the smallest administrative level named Village Potential from the Central Bureau of Statistics in Indonesia. Disaggregated by the transformed sectors, this study shows that the strongest correlation to the decline in the number of rural poor occurs when agricultural dominant-based villages have been complemented by adequate or have transformed as well to the service sector and other sectors. While the transformation to the trade sector shows the right direction of the correlation that reflects the decline in the number of poor people, the effect is still not significant. Atypical result in the transportation sector and industrial sector has not reduced poverty.
