Methodological approaches to the evaluation of innovative projects in the agribusiness

The main goal of the development of the Russian agribusiness at the present stage is to ensure the competitiveness of products, which, in the context of the rapid development of technology, can be ensured by the modernization of agricultural production based on the latest scientific achievements. At the same time, global and national priorities are changing, and the need to align business processes with the principles of sustainable development is becoming more acute. These processes lead to the need to develop methods for evaluating innovative projects, taking into account these changes. To solve specific problems and achieve development goals in Russia, project management is used, in which projects are selected and financed within the framework of state programs. When evaluating projects in the Russian agribusiness, the expert and scoring evaluation method is mainly used. The methods of selection of innovative projects used in the world practice are studied. New criteria for evaluating innovative projects have been proposed.

Implementasi Metode Project Development Routemap pada Proyek KPBU Di Indonesia

The availability of road infrastructure is one of the important aspects of accelerating the national development process. With all the fiscal limitations in financing the need for large infrastructure provisions, an optimal funding strategy is needed to achieve development goals through alternative financing of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) scheme to bridge the financing gap through investment. However, the realization of infrastructure investment is a complex matter, so a quality PPP project preparation and planning process is needed so the project visions can be achieved effectively and efficiently. This study aims to observe the application of the Project Development Routemap Method on the Gedebage – Tasikmalaya – Cilacap Toll Road project which is a project carried out by PPP scheme. The Project Development Route map Method assessed the complexity and strategic risk of a project and assessed the capability of key areas of responsibility involved, as well as developed recommendations and action plans as research outputs. Based on the result of the study, it was found that The Gedebage – Tasikmalaya – Cilacap Toll Road is a high-complexity project. The capabilities of the stakeholders including Sponsors (PJPK), Clients (BUJT), Aset Managers (Operators), and Markets (Service Providers) are currently working appropriately, but there are still some areas that need to be improved. Six areas needed improvement, and three practices that were appropriate and needed to be continued.

Key Success in Fostering Human Development Index at the Local Level

Human Development Index (HDI) determines human prosperity in different countries using value assets. In general, the primary measurement includes the three basic indices, namely education, health, and a decent standard of living. HDI is a measure of development and governance success in terms of economic growth and human development. Generally, studies on HDI take place at the national and regional levels, and comparisons of its achievements between countries, while those at the municipal level are limited. Studies on the determinants of the success of increasing HDI tend to focus on local governments' fiscal capacity and political will and rarely touch the capacity of public administration in managing government, specifically in the development planning stage. This study examined the increased success of the Malang City's HDI by adopting a logical framework (log-frame) analysis with secondary data from the Malang bureau of statistics. The results showed an 80.89 increase in HDI from 2014 to 2018, including the education and health indexes, with a decent standard of living. The increased success is shown by the Regional Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMD), including basic education development program, regional public hospital service programs, and food security program for education, health, and purchasing power indices. Therefore, the local government needs to maintain and enhance the HDI in both medium- and long-term plans. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a logical framework in preparing regional development plans that support efforts to increase HDI consistently in the medium term. This reinforces the need to strengthen the perspective of how to achieve development goals compared to other studies that focus more on the perspective of the substance of development.

Tackling online gender-based violence; understanding gender, development, and the power relations of digital spaces

Digital systems now mediate our everyday social practices, political and economic lives. But ICT4D (ICT for development) research exploring the relationship between gender, technology and development has only had a limited conception of the power relationships and structures underpinning these systems. In this literature, technology is linked to gendered empowerment in that it is conceptualized as a means of increasing women’s choices and freedom, with little consideration of its potential disempowering impacts. Based on an understanding that the production of gender is ineluctably related to the production of power, and rooted in earlier techno-feminist scholarship, this paper proposes a new theoretical framework on the power relations of digital systems, exposing the visible, hidden, and invisible power in socio-technical systems and infrastructures. The framework is explored through a review of data and research on the global epidemic of online misogyny and gender-based violence (GBV). Harassment contributes to a culture of violence against women offline, and silences women’s voices in digital civic spaces, threatening the achievement of development goals. This paper illuminates the multiplicity of structural factors behind online GBV and offers a provocation for a critical ICT4D research agenda on the relationship between gender, digital technologies and development goals which engages with the complex and opaque power relationships underpinning the contemporary digital economy.

Improving Post-Pandemic Welfare through Utilization of Several Variables in Management

The HDI concept views that the achievement of development goals is more focused on improving the welfare of the community, that is, humans are the focus of development goals (human centered development). Development success is measured by the Human Development Index formed by four components, namely life expectancy which reflects the level of public health, literacy and the average length of schooling reflects the level of education of the community, and the real expenditure per capita reflects the level of purchasing power of the people. This study aims to find out and analyze the improvement of community welfare after the pandemic through the utilization of organizational justice, work insecurity through work ethic in Surabaya. This research uses a quantitative approach. The population in this survey is all employees of PT. Rhino Rope Access Indonesia, a total of 150 employees. The sample used was 108 respondents obtained from the number of all employees using a sampling technique using a proportional random sampling technique of the probabilistic type. The data analysis method in this study used a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis test using an analysis test tool using IBM SPSS AMOS Statistics software version 22. The research hypothesis shows the following: 1) Organizational fairness has a significant and positive effect on the work ethic of pt. Rhino Rope Access Indonesia in Surabaya. 2) Organizational fairness has a small and positive effect on job insecurity in PT. Rhino Rope Access Indonesia in Surabaya. 3) Work ethic does not have a significant and positive effect on job insecurity in PT. Rhino Rope Access Indonesia in Surabaya. The output of this research is articles published in accredited national journals and international proceedings and textbook drafts.

Management Strategies of Mangrove Biodiversity and the Role of Sustainable Ecotourism in Achieving Development Goals

Mangrove forest is a unique and vulnerable ecosystem. This ecosystem serves both ecological and economic purposes. The Siak government has begun to develop the Sungai Apit District mangrove area, which has potential. The goal of this research was to develop a sustainable mangrove ecotourism strategy through five research goals: (1) identification of mangrove species diversity; (2) identification of ecotourism supply; (3) identification of ecotourism demand, (4) development strategy of mangrove ecotourism, and (5) development of the potential for mangrove ecotourism to increase the SDGs value. This research was conducted from January to April 2020. The supply and demand of natural tourism objects and attractions were assessed using ADO-ODTWA criteria analysis. The IFAS/EFAS and SWOT analysis was used to develop a mangrove ecotourism development strategy based on the valuation of ADO-ODTWA aspects. The contribution of mangrove ecotourism to UNESCO’s SDG indicators for sustainable development. According to research, there are 35 species of mangroves on the Sungai Apit coast. The outcomes demonstrated that the feasibility level of tourism attractions (204 points) and supporting elements (472 points) met high-level criteria. It indicated that the area had a high potential for development as a mangrove ecotourism area. Based on IFAS/EFAS, SWOT analysis and the grand strategy selection matrix, the position of mangrove ecotourism strategy was in Quadrant I (Strength-Opportunity). The strategy that could be developed included (1) developing special interest mangrove ecotourism product; (2) increasing facilities; (3) improving the quality of human resources; (4) developing a network on the website and (5) increasing coordination with the Government. By implementing ecotourism strategy, the SDGs can be achieved, including: no poverty (goal 1); decent work and economic growth (goal 8); climate action (goal 13); life below water (goal 14); life on land (goal 15); and partnerships to achieve goals (goal 17).

A Green Infrastructure Planning Approach: Improving Territorial Cohesion through Urban-Rural Landscape in Vojvodina, Serbia

Spatial and urban planning are directed towards achieving territorial cohesion as one of the sustainable development goals. Considering the hybrid concept of green infrastructure, this paper aims to provide an “ecological model” of achieving territorial cohesion in spatial and urban planning. Based on the connectivity level analysis between green infrastructure elements (green infrastructure hubs, nodes, gateways and dots), application of the GI concept guides the development of spatial planning scenarios. The application of Voronoi diagrams and landscape graph-based principles contribute to defining the shortest distances between green infrastructure elements, which resulted in the definition of the significance of structural and functional arrangement of green infrastructure dots in the matrix of the urban rural continuum in the territory of the urban-rural landscape of three case studies in Vojvodina, Serbia (Novi Sad, Subotica, Zrenjanin). As a result of this study, green infrastructure dots showed a great potential of application at the local level by developing them through landscape design with creative and artistic elements in order to achieve higher level of cohesion through visual attractivity, multifunctionality and recreation. The level of connectivity between elements of green infrastructure should be considered as an indicator of the sustainable spatial development goals achievement, in the field of nature conservation and territorial and social cohesion.

Social Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Goals: A Conceptual Framework

Studies linking social entrepreneurship and sustainable development goals (SDGs) are gaining interest due to the possible impact acceleration to achieve both social and economic goals. Social entrepreneurship supports technology upgrading and innovation with the digital approach. This study proposes an updated conceptual framework that connects social entrepreneurship with SDGs, mainly targeting 8.2 in SDG 8 (achieving higher economic productivity levels through diversification, technological upgrading, and innovation, focusing on high value-added and labor-intensive sectors). However, less research addresses the focus on digital technology and SDGs. With this study, the authors contribute to filling this research gap by answering this research question: how can social innovation within social entrepreneurship using digital technology improve Sustainable Development Goals achievement? A systematic literature review of 3,214 social entrepreneurship-related journals based on the Scopus database with no publication date restriction resulted in 111 included studies. The results were then mapped into two bibliographic visualizations using VOSViewer, i.e., "social entrepreneurship" and "technology innovation in social entrepreneurship." In social entrepreneurship visualization, the technology-related keyword filter only resulted in 1 keyword, i.e., "technology transfer," which shows fewer research activities. In technology-related visualization, there are four keywords ("technology transfer," "social technology," "technology and innovation," and "technology"). Five organizational level constructs in digital social entrepreneurship were identified: sustainable entrepreneurship development, social business model design, government regulation, marketing strategy, and creative solution generation capacity. These organization behavior dimensions have been categorized to illustrate their influence on digital social entrepreneurship and SDG. Hence, this study is envisioned to provide original work in the theoretical development of bridging digital social entrepreneurship and SDGs that benefit both academicians and practitioners.

Public health through the prism of personnel security

The functional safety is a key management task, considering that public organizations have to work in the rapidly changing environment, in the conditions of growing competition in the medical sphere, and spread of influence of information technology on the development of a public organizations.The situations when administration is more interested in the impact of natural and technological aspects on the safety of an organization happens more often, while the main threats are coming from people though, and in many cases from employees. The aim is to substantiate the scientific and theoretical provisions on the essence of personnel safety of a public organizations and to establish future measures to strengthen it. We used methods of analysis and synthesis, comparative and monographic methods. The results and conclusions of our work are the management of personnel safety of a health care institution is an integral part of the personnel management system of a public organizations, aimed at identifying, neutralizing and preventing risks and threats that are associated with the use of personnel and can potentially lead to negative consequences for a public organizations. It also requires the protection of employees, the creating of favorable conditions for work, meeting needs and achieving development goals.

The role of public procurement in the framework of the 2030 Agenda: the approach of institutions and civil society

Public administration is a key agent for achieving development goals, and this is recognised in the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals. This international consensus requires the involvement of a large number of agents, and the mainstreaming of these global challenges into public policies. However, a practice that could be key in this regard, such as public procurement, does not receive sufficient attention within this framework. Faced with a broad range of goals and targets that cover environmental, economic and social issues, the 2030 Agenda lacks an adequate framework and tools to address the solution to these challenges, and public procurement could have greater prominence as a driver of progress for a number of these goals. The paper studies the role and potential of public procurement as an instrument of policy to contribute to the international development agenda. Therefore, the paper analyses documentation and reports of the main institutions that have worked on these issues to date: United Nations, the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, and the Reflection Group on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Despite having been considered in the design of the Agenda, subsequent reports by the United Nations give little importance to the role of public procurement, which contrasts with that expressed by civil society.

Analysis of the Workload and Workforce Needs of Registration Officers Hospital

Preparation of human resource requirements planning health, it is determined that the need for human resources is the number of human resources according to the type needed to carry out the given workload. Planning for human resource requirements is a systematic process in an effort to determine the number, type, and qualifications of human resources needed in accordance with with the conditions of a region in order to achieve development goals health. The object of this research is the registration officer at the hospital. The purpose of this study is to calculate the number of workforce needs in the registration section by Analysis Method Health Workload (ABK Kes). From several meanings, it can be concluded that needs planning human resources is a systematic process in an effort to determine, amount, and qualifications of human resources needed in accordance with the conditions of a region in order to achieve health development goals. After calculating the workload of the on-site officers, registration using the ABK Kes formula, researchers get results the registration section needs as many as 24 people. Meanwhile, there are 18 registration officers for the PKU Aisyiyah Singkil Hospital, Boyolali. This is not in accordance with the calculation of the workload that the researchers calculated using the ABK Kes formula. So it is necessary to add 6 registration officers to meet the needs of registration officers at PKU Aisyiyah Singkil Hospital, Boyolali

The role of micro- and small-scale enterprises in enhancing sustainable community livelihood: Tigray, Ethiopia.

Micro- and small-scale enterprises (MSEs) have emerged as one of the most important tools for addressing economic and social issues and achieving development goals. In both developed and developing economies, MSEs have been acknowledged as critical components of national development. This study aimed to assess the contributions of MSEs toward sustainable community livelihood in Emba Alaje, Wereda, Ethiopia. The results revealed that MSEs contributed to economic growth, employment formation, and income generation for the local community. In addition, the study indicated that the MSEs were significantly affected by different determinant factors such as infrastructures, raw material, working premises, and human capital. The study clearly showed that there was a gender gap over participation in different MSE sectors. In addition, many sectors which can employ more people are still managed by men. This shows that the bodies involved, such as the MSE Development Offices, Bureau of Cooperatives, and Bureau of Works and Social Affairs, should join their hands and allow women to enter traditionally male-dominated sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and urban farming. Above all, greater efforts should be made to consider both female- and male-owned businesses.

Role of communications in improving community participation in development

The study aims to determine how to address communication in increasing community participation and to determine the role of communication in development. Development is one of the correct alternatives in overcoming various problems that arise in the community. Communication has a central role in increasing community participation to contribute to the planning and development. Communication psychologically is an interaction to convey a more easily understood by thinking. The methods used in this study use a library research method or approach. This method is intended to examine more deeply the role of communication in the development of community empowerment. The result of communication about development is a strategy that emphasizes the need for development socialization with development actors in the form of spreading messages by a person or group to the public to change their attitudes, opinions, and behaviors to improve external progress and internal satisfaction to achieve development goals whose benefits can be felt by all equally. From this, it can conclude that communication for development adheres to the principles of development modernization by positioning the government no higher than those who only form a model of communication from top to bottom in society.

Supporting evidence-based decision-making: Capacity Building through Research

Abstract Lack of data inhibits informed decision-making and is a critical challenge in developing countries, many of which are under-resourced in financial, technical and institutional capacity to collect and analyse the required data. This limits the countries’ ability to achieve development goals and keeps them dependent on the provision of external resources. Development initiatives often treat capacity building and research as two separate tracks of development. While efforts have been made in the health sector to combine these through project-based learning, this approach is relatively unexplored in the water sector which by its inter-sectoral nature stands to benefit significantly from a more collaborative and solution-oriented development strategy. Capacity Building through Research (CBtR) facilitates data collection and analysis by local researchers, mentored by international experts, strengthening local capacity to produce credible evidence able to inform sustainability-related decision-making. Five case studies piloting CBtR are discussed here and evaluated through criteria of the Dutch Strategy Evaluation Protocol framework. CBtR is shown to be a long-term strategy that requires the strengthening of cross-disciplinary networks to enhance the capacity of water management institutions, which likely contributes to more efficient evidence collection and analysis suitable for decision-makers, leading to greater national resilience and reduced need for external support.

The new trends in Iraq’s economic policy by adopting the market mechanism in the economy after 2003, which necessitated the integration between the role of the state represented by the public sector and the role of the private sector in the process of economic and social development that depends on mobilizing the community’s potential for various economic sectors and civil society institutions in institutional organizations that undertake, establishing and operating projects after the separate economic sectors faced challenges and difficulties in achieving development goals at the targeted levels. Therefore, many developed and developing countries sought to create institutions that adopt participatory organizations in which the public and private sectors contribute to directing, managing and operating projects, developing and developing them in order to serve Its objectives are based on a participatory basis, good governance, transparent accountability and mutual benefit, as the relationship between the partnership parties is characterized by an integrative and substitutionary nature at the same time, with a dynamic nature that depends on the size, nature and importance of the role that each sector plays in the development process, according to the prevailing economic system, and its stages of development up to faster rates of economic and social development, and the pharmaceutical industry is one of the Industries that require increased spending on research and development programs to produce patents within the pharmaceutical preparation processes for a new product, as well as flexibility in dealing with these expenses and their impact on the level of pricing and marketing of the pharmaceutical product. Most economic studies go to the fact that spending on research may reach more than 10 % of the value of pharmaceutical sales to obtain a therapeutic product using advanced technology. In this regard, we find that there is a difference in the use of technology in the pharmaceutical industry in both developed and developing countries, as pharmaceutical technology in developed countries depends on training and innovation, while pharmaceutical technology depends in developing countries, including Iraq, on improving manufacturing methods and quality control only. The research has been strengthened by highlighting the pharmaceutical partnership approved by the State Company for the Pharmaceutical Industry / Samarra as a reformist factor in economic activity, as well as supporting and encouraging the private sector and activating its role by emphasizing on building partnerships between the public and private sectors in the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, and giving way to foreign pharmaceutical companies , the pharmaceutical industry market needs foreign investment to obtain financing sources as well as modern technology according to the formulas of cooperation or concession or contribution to the establishment of new pharmaceutical factories. The research concluded that the research hypothesis is achieved to a large extent when activating the mechanisms of partnership between the public and private sectors on the ground.

What makes working together work? A scoping review of the guidance on North-South research partnerships.

At their best, research partnerships provide a mechanism to optimize each partner’s strengths, make scientific discoveries and achieve development goals. Each partner stands to gain from the relationship and perceives it to be fair. However, partnerships between institutions in the global North and the global South have been beleaguered by structural inequalities and power imbalances, and Northern stakeholders have been criticized for perpetuating paternalistic or neo-colonial behaviours. As part of efforts to redress imbalances and achieve equity and mutual benefit, various principles, guidelines, frameworks and models for partnership have been developed. This scoping review maps the literature and summarizes key features of the guidelines for North–South research partnerships. The review was conducted between October 2020 and January 2021. Three academic journal databases and Google were searched, and additional resources were identified through a hand search of reference lists and expert recommendation. Twenty-two guidelines were identified published between 1994 and 2021 and originating predominantly in the fields of international development and global health. The themes addressed within the guidelines were aggregated using NVivo qualitative analysis software to code the content of each guideline. Topics featuring most prominently in the guidelines were: partner roles, responsibilities and ways of working; capacity strengthening; motivation and goals; resource contributions; agenda setting and study design; governance structures and institutional agreements; dissemination; respect for affected populations; data handling and ownership; funding and long-term commitments. The current study reinforces many of the themes from two recent scoping reviews specific to the field of global health, but gaps remain, which need to be addressed: Southern stakeholders continue to be under-represented in guideline development, and there is limited evidence of how guidelines are used in practice. Further exploration is needed of Southern stakeholder priorities and whether and how guidelines are operationalized.

The role of applying good governance standards on civil society organizations to achieve sustainable development

Countries and governments are seeking to develop their societies and achieve prosperity with growth for their people, through achieving comprehensive sustainable development, which guarantees the right of current generations to well-being, and preserving the right of subsequent generations through good exploitation of available resources, wealth and full preservation to the surrounding environment and not to destroy it. However, good governance reflects to recent global developments and changes that have coincided with changing in the system of political governance and the role of governments, as this concept was put forward in the framework of political programs in order to achieve development goals. Thus, good governance was provided and supported by international non-governmental organizations, such as the United Nations and international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, in order to add an authoritative, ethical way to practice power in managing the affairs of states and societies. The problem in this research paper was the extent of the contribution of civil society organizations in the development process, as a result of the weak role of governments and states, which forced these organizations to work side by side with governments in the process of achieving sustainable development. This paper relied on the descriptive and analytical approach and aimed to identify the important and effective role of civil society organizations in the process of achieving the development of peoples and societies. The study concluded that it is not possible for these civil organizations to contribute to achieving sustainable development with the absence or weakness of implementing and activating the standards of good governance, since good governance is the foundation to Achieve the real sustainable development.
