Conceptual platform and applied aspects of interaction between government and business agencies in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The focus of the article is the evaluation of the interaction between regional state bodies and business structures in Kazakhstan, specifically in terms of the development of public-private partnerships. The purpose of the research is to enhance the understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of the mechanism of interaction between the state and business structures. Through an examination of the various structural components of the partnership development strategy, the study aims to identify the elements of the mechanism for the implementation of the state and business development strategy. Additionally, the research seeks to establish the correlation between the outcomes of the joint entrepreneurship mechanism and the criteria used to evaluate the performance of regional state bodies. To assess the effectiveness of the interaction between business and government at the regional level in Kazakhstan, a survey-based evaluation was conducted to measure the satisfaction levels of public utilities, entrepreneurs, and businesses with the activities of local authorities. The survey also evaluated the degree of corruption among local authorities. A matrix of interaction between business and government was created, and various models and algorithms for the interaction between government representatives and business structures were studied. The research findings highlight the importance of enhancing the collaboration between the state and the business sector, promoting the implementation of public-private partnerships, and establishing social partnerships to cultivate mutually beneficial relationships.

Evaluating the real-world implementation of the Family Nurse Partnership in England: a data linkage study.

The Family Nurse Partnership is an intensive home visiting programme for adolescent mothers. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Family Nurse Partnership on outcomes up to age 7 using national administrative data. We created a linked cohort of all mothers aged 13-19 using data from health, educational and children's social care and defined mothers enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership or not using Family Nurse Partnership system data. Propensity scores were used to create matched groups for analysis. One hundred and thirty-six local authorities in England with active Family Nurse Partnership sites between 2010 and 2017. Mothers aged 13-19 at last menstrual period with live births between April 2010 and March 2019, living in a Family Nurse Partnership catchment area and their firstborn child(ren). The Family Nurse Partnership includes up to 64 home visits by a family nurse from early pregnancy until the child's second birthday and is combined with usual health and social care. Controls received usual health and social care. Indicators of child maltreatment (hospital admissions for injury/maltreatment, referral to social care services); child health and development (hospital utilisation and education) outcomes and maternal hospital utilisation and educational outcomes up to 7 years following birth. Family Nurse Partnership Information System, Hospital Episode Statistics, National Pupil Database. Of 110,520 eligible mothers, 25,680 (23.2%) were enrolled in the Family Nurse Partnership. Enrolment rates varied across 122 sites (range: 11-68%). Areas with more eligible mothers had lower enrolment rates. Enrolment was higher among mothers aged 13-15 (52%), than 18-19 year-olds (21%). Indicators of child maltreatment: we found no evidence of an association between the Family Nurse Partnership and indicators of child maltreatment, except for an increased rate of unplanned admissions for maltreatment/injury-related diagnoses up to age 2 for children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers (6.6% vs. 5.7%, relative risk 1.15; 95% confidence interval 1.07 to 1.24). Child health and developmental outcomes: there was weak evidence that children born to Family Nurse Partnership mothers were more likely to achieve a Good Level of Development at age 5 (57.5% vs. 55.4%, relative risk 1.05; 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 1.09). Maternal outcomes: There was some evidence that Family Nurse Partnership mothers were less likely to have a subsequent delivery within 18 months of the index birth (8.4% vs. 9.3%, relative risk 0.92; 95% confidence interval 0.88 to 0.97). Younger and more vulnerable mothers received higher numbers of visits and were more likely to achieve fidelity targets. Meeting the fidelity targets was associated with some outcomes. Bias by indication and variation in the intervention and usual care over time and between areas may have limited our ability to detect effects. Multiple testing may have led to spurious, significant results. This study supports findings from evaluations of the Family Nurse Partnership showing no evidence of benefit for maltreatment outcomes measured in administrative data. Amongst all the outcomes measured, we found weak evidence that the Family Nurse Partnership was associated with improvements in child development at school entry, a reduction in rapid repeat pregnancies and evidence of increased healthcare-seeking in the mother and child. Future evaluations should capture better measures of Family Nurse Partnership interventions and usual care, more information on maternal risk factors and additional outcomes relating to maternal well-being.

ASSESSMENT OF INNOVATIVE-INVESTMENT POTENTIAL IN THE CONTEXT OF CREATING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN THE REGION

The main purpose of the article is to propose a theoretical and methodological approach to the assessment of the innovative-investment potential of a region for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The object of study is the innovative-investment potential of a particular region. To achieve the set goal, the scientific task is posed in the form of developing and implementing an approach to assess the level of innovative-investment potential in the region in order to identify prospects for the implementation of public-private partnerships. The research methodology involves the application of various methods, the key among which is the method of taxonomic analysis. The key components of innovative-investment potential and the indicators for which the assessment was conducted have been identified. Special attention is given to economic-financial indicators. The work of the taxonomic approach in the context of our research is described. The key indicators of assessment of innovative-investment potential for each city in the selected region have been calculated. Standardized values for each calculation result have been determined. A ranking of all cities according to their potential level was carried out, and it was determined which of them has the greatest security potential for the implementation of public-private partnerships. As a result, the obtained data showed the practical value of the proposed assessment method. The research has limitations in the form of taking into account the specifics and information of only one region of the country. Prospects for further research include expanding the regional aspect in conducting assessments.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AS A TOOL FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR IN UKRAINE: ANALYSIS, MECHANISM, FINANCIAL REPORTING

Based on the analysis of the dynamics of implementation of public-private partnership (PPP) projects in Ukraine, key problems have been identified and its priorities in financial support for the recovery of the native energy sector have been determined. It is appointed that PPP concession agreements are the main mechanisms for attracting investment in the global electric power industry. The expediency of using the concession model on BOT terms for the implementation of large projects in the energy sector is substantiated, which will contribute to the intensification of investment attraction and will allow to distribute risks between the state and business. Recommendations on the formation of an information platform for participants in the implementation of PPP projects on the basis of disclosure of information on the effectiveness of concession operations in accounting and financial statements have been developed. The tools for the formation of the financial mechanism of public-private partnership, where the priority is budget and venture financing, are substantiated. To make decisions on the implementation of PPP investment projects, an approach to assessing the financial support of project initiatives is recommended, the basis of which is the proposed criteria for compliance with financial security, the choice of funding sources, indicators of scenario analysis and efficiency. The proposed methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of PPP allows us to assess the synergistic effect, which reflects the totality of economic, social and environmental effects. The formulated recommendations for improving the relationship between the state and business will contribute to the intensification of the attraction of private investment resources on the basis of PPPs for the restoration of the energy sector in Ukraine.

Innovative Governance Dalam Penyelengggaraan Pemerintahan Desa Di Kabupaten Kuantan Singingi (Studi pada Penerapan Aplikasi dan Website Gigades.id)

This research is motivated by the gap in technology, information and communication between villages and cities which causes slow governance in villages. This condition is a challenge for villages to actively participate in the current era of digitalization. The aim of village innovation is to encourage village development of higher quality, effectiveness and efficiency through various activities in village government administration that are more innovative and sensitive to the needs of village communities. This effort can encourage productivity and economic growth in rural communities in a sustainable manner to improve the socio-economic welfare of the community and village independence. However, in the development of village innovation, it has not proceeded according to the plans that have been set. This is because the community's digital awareness is still low, as well as the culture and organizational arrangements of the village government which are not yet fully ready to implement digitalization in the administration of village government. This research aims to analyze and explain innovative governance in the implementation of village government in Kuantan Singingi Regency, as well as identifying obstacles to implementing innovation in the form of the Gigades.id application and website. This research uses the Innovative Governance theory of Sangkala Tahun (2014) which explains that there are 6 criteria for best practices in an innovation, namely impact, partnership, sustainability, leadership and community empowerment, gender equality and social exclusion, innovation in the local context and transferability. This research uses an explanatory qualitative research method with a case study approach that uses data collection techniques through interviews, observation and documentation. The results of this research show that the implementation of village government in Kuantan Singingi Regency has made a breakthrough in the form of innovative governance in the implementation of village government in the form of innovation in the form of the Gigades.id application and website, but it has not been successfully implemented properly by the village government. Findings in the field show that the implementation of partnerships is still formed between the village government and the private sector, the trilogy of good governance in building partnerships has not been implemented well, even though the community has a big role in realizing the implementation of village government. Then the obstacles experienced by this innovation are the lack of socialization carried out by the village government and the private sector to village communities, the low quality of knowledge and innovation skills of village government officials, the inadequate quality of the internet network, and a community culture that is difficult to change.

Analysis of the Advancement of Public-Private Partnership in Ukraine

Introduction. The significant amount of destruction caused by the war in Ukraine necessitates the involvement of all forms of financial and organizational support for the country's reconstruction process. A tried-and-tested method of attracting resources to this process is a public-private partnership. The intensification of public-private partnerships aims to meet the basic needs of the population during martial law before creating the necessary conditions for economic recovery after the war. Since the war led to the stagnation of the specified process, the obstacles and peculiarities of public-private partnerships in this period need to be researched.
 Aim and tasks. The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of martial law conditions on the activation of public-private partnerships to reveal its role in the recovery of the country's economy based on the analysis of available data to identify trends and significant results that can shed light on the activation of the public-private partnership process. This determines the following tasks: to investigate obstacles to the activation of public-private partnership from 2021 to this time, and to establish peculiarities, urgent directions, and prerequisites for implementing projects, measures, methods, and forms of public-private partnership in the specified period.
 Results. The analysis showed that, in recent years, the contractual discipline of partnership projects has significantly deteriorated, and the range of directions for their implementation has narrowed and does not correspond to the priorities specified in the legislation. Thus, in 2021, only 16% of agreements were realized, 16.6% were terminated, and 61.6% still needed to be implemented. Directions for their implementation are not urgent in wartime conditions. Business activity is restrained by the risks of war, incomplete compliance of the legal framework with the conditions of war, and the intensification of illegal actions against investment objects. In total, 363 court cases related to raiding were initiated in 2023, reflecting a two-fold increase compared to 2022. The identified peculiarities, directions, and prerequisites for the implementation of public-private partnerships intensify the implementation process.
 Conclusions. Measures to reduce risks and change the approaches to their distribution in partnership agreements have been proposed. It is proposed to introduce an institute of small investors, which will strengthen public control of public-private partnership projects and ensure the attraction of additional private investments in the process of rebuilding the country. This is substantiated by the fact that 61% of the surveyed citizens are ready to participate financially in the reconstruction of the country's infrastructure and 33% are ready to participate if they have a financial opportunity.

DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN THE CHUVASH REPUBLIC

The purpose of this study is to analyze the state of public-private partnerships in the Chuvash Republic, identify the trends of their formation and propose the ways of their development. Materials and methods. The paper made use of the ratings, monthly Russia's public-private partnership market review digest, investment sites, which provide up-to-date information, an overview of public-private partnership projects in the Chuvash Republic. The main research methods were analysis and comparison. The authors made the analysis of the dynamics of the implementation of public-private partnerships in the Russian Federation, SWOT analysis of the development of public-private partnerships in the Chuvash Republic and the comparison analysis of investment sites of different regions. Research results. As a result of the detailed analysis of regional investment portals and ratings, the author found that the investment website of the Chuvash Republic, which provides examples of successful practices of public-private partnerships, is not informative enough. The analysis of the public-private partnership reveals that the Chuvash Republic ranks the last in the Volga Federal District in terms of the public-private partnership development rating, which implies there are problems in this area. There is a need for identifying the most interesting and suitable practices of implementing public-private partnerships to be used in the Chuvash Republic. Thus, as a result of the analysis of the public-private partnership development in the Chuvash Republic, the author proposes new ways to effectively develop public-private partnerships. They will help to improve the position in the public-private partnership ranking and attract investment to the Chuvash Republic. Conclusions. Thus, the article substantiates that the investment site of the Kaluga region is more complete and the most advanced, and as the first best experience, it is quite applicable when improving the investment site of the Chuvash Republic. Using the example of the experience of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the author proposes to introduce a new position at the Center for Public-Private Partnership in the Chuvash Republic – a business sheriff.

Critical Success Factors for the Implementation of Public-Private Partnerships in Zimbabwe's State Universities

A weakness of the extant Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) literature to date has been its normative approach to the subject, creating in effect, a 'one size fits all view' of the preconditions or Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for the implementation of PPPs yet they vary with the context and sector. This study challenges the existing prominent CSFs model for the implementation of PPP which it perceives to be broader and biased towards economic infrastructure in rich industrial nations and excludes the realities of post-colonial third world countries. The research developed a refined sector-specific Educational Infrastructure Critical Success Factor Model (EICSFM) that will inform effective implementation of educational infrastructure PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities. Validated suggestions from research participants were compared to the existing model used to guide this study and results showed that some of the suggested CSFs for PPPs in Zimbabwe state universities tallies with this extant widely accepted CSFs model for PPPs, whereas some differ. The new suggested emerging sector-specific CSFs for effective implementation of PPPs in state universities include; the need for state universities to have absolute autonomy, the establishment of institutional PPP Committees, state universities to be creative and aggressive, vibrant leadership at state universities, universities to have good business orientation, the establishment of innovative PPPs models for educational infrastructure projects (social infrastructure projects), the creation of project bankability and attractiveness to investors, the need for political will and creation of trust. Comparing such suggestions to the extant CSFs model, the study concluded that even though some these preconditions for successful implementation of PPPs may be similar to some of the existing ones, their application is not similar but context-based. The study thus recommends governments avoid a ‘one size fits all’ perception and approach, but rather encompass sector-specific considerations when adopting and implementing PPPs as an alternative funding option for infrastructure development.

Formation of strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity of the post-war industrial recovery: condition and prospects

Abstract The authors of the article justified the need for the formation and implementation of a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions in order to create favorable conditions for ensuring workforce capacity for the post-war recovery of Ukraine's industry. The author's research is based on the structural-functional approach. Its purpose is to identify and justify the possibilities of forming a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity of the post-war industrial recovery based on the analysis of the condition and specifics of their activities and interaction under conditions of full-scale armed aggression. The content and logic of the author's research included the following: 1) assessment of the general state of the domestic industry, key challenges and threats affecting it under conditions of martial law; 2) identifying the dynamics of changes in the supply of labor to industry, existing sharp contradictions, as well as positive changes in the recovery of certain branches of industry; 3) determination of key guidelines for the renewal of the system of institutions and mechanisms that regulate employment in industry and affect the justification of priorities regarding the processes of formation of workforce capacity for the recovery of Ukrainian industry; 4) analysis of the current state of the system of collective agreement regulation, the activities of key partners of the partnership, the functions of the National Tripartite Socio-Economic Council and the activities of specialized state structures regarding the prospects of personnel support for the recovery of Ukrainian industry; 5) conceptualization of the vision of the formation of a strategic partnership between the state, employers and trade unions to ensure the workforce capacity for the post-war recovery of industry, with the definition of priority tasks. It is substantiated that the modernized system of social dialogue is the basic tool for achieving mutual agreement and synergy in the implementation of strategic partnership in Ukraine. This system should be aimed at solving strategically important issues regarding the stability of the national economy, ensuring the workforce capacity for the post-war development of the industrial sector. Key guidelines for updating the system of relevant institutes and mechanisms are: 1) focusing on the concept of decent work, following the principle of the International Labor Organization (ILO) – 'build back better', as well as not focusing on the indicators of the pre-war level, but rather on achieving a qualitatively new level of functioning of the economy, social labor sphere, Ukrainian industry; 2) implementation of the European integration course and ensuring compliance of the system of relevant institutes in the industry with EU requirements and standards.

Critical pedagogy and disability in participatory research: a review

Purpose The literature review explores how multidisciplinary approaches based on critical pedagogy and participatory research can provide frameworks for equitable partnerships and genuine participation in educational design and research practices. Additionally, the essay aims to expand understandings of equitable engagement within educational research and design based on principles from critical pedagogy. Design/methodology/approach The essay draws from diverse literature in the learning sciences, health informatics, industrial design, disability studies, ethnic studies, rehabilitation science, and to a lesser extent HCI research to understand how critical pedagogy and participatory research methods can provide useful frameworks for disabled peoples' equitable engagement and genuine participation in educational research and design. The literature reviewed in the paper concern topics such as participatory approaches to community development with disabled adults, the implementation of university-initiated community partnerships, participatory research with students and disabled people, and the importance of culturally-responsive research practices. The design literature in this review explores various arenas such as the co-design of assistive technologies with disabled children and adults and the design of curricula for students with and without disabilities. This review focuses on research practices that engender disabled peoples' participation in educational research and design, with focus on developing multidisciplinary frameworks for such research. Findings The literature review concludes that participatory research methods and critical pedagogy provide useful frameworks for disabled peoples’ participation in educational design and research practices. Critical pedagogy and participatory design allow for the genuine participation of disabled people in the research process. Social implications Emphases on collaboration and collective knowledge-building in social transformation are present in scholarship concerning critical pedagogy, participatory research, and disability studies. However, these connections have been routinely underexplored in the literature. This paper aims to underscore these integral connections as a means to build solidarity between disabled and other marginalized people. Originality/value The connections between participatory research methods, critical pedagogy, and disability studies have been previously underexplored. The literature review proposes a combined approach, which has the potential to radically transform multiple realms of research beyond the learning and information sciences.

Implementation of Partnerships Between Companies and Civil Society Organizations to Promote Financial Education in The Context of Intersectoral Esg Strategies

Research objective: To verify how the relationship between the Third Sector and the Second Sector collaborates with the ESG agenda, aiming to answer the question “how partnerships between non-profit organizations and private companies can contribute to enabling actions focused on social, environmental and of governance, which are becoming increasingly relevant given the serious socio-environmental challenges we face?”. Theoretical framework: Fischer (2002) says that the bases for building intersectoral alliances are, in Brazil, fragile and small for reasons such as: the distrust of non-profit organizations in relation to private companies and their leaders, and the lack of sensitivity of the Second Sector with socio-environmental issues. Methodology: Case study of a financial education action carried out by C6 Bank in partnership with Fundação Almerinda Malaquias, in the city of Novo Airão, Amazonas, in 2022, through interviews and analysis of posts. Results: It is possible to understand the important role that digital banks have been playing in financial inclusion. Social impact actions tend to be incorporated into the company's culture. The survey confirmed that C6 Bank actually went to Amazonas with the aim of providing financial education content and not just promoting itself. Originality: Contributes to the understanding of a topic that is still little explored. Theoretical and practical contributions: Creating and maintaining diverse partnerships can be a strategy in Third Sector organizations that contribute to the fulfillment of their mission and their institutional strengthening, as this process opens up new perspectives of collaboration and action for innovative organizational forms of community participation. civil society.

The Need for Innovation in Financial Education: A Study of Household Indebtedness in Peru

Purpose: The main objective of the text is to explore and determine the impact of financial education on the indebtedness of Peruvian households. Theoretical framework: As for the theoretical framework, reference is made to several previous theories and studies, such as Kahneman and Tversky's prospect theory, Modigliani and Brumberg's life-cycle theory, and Friedman's permanent income hypothesis, among others, to support the importance of financial literacy and financial decision-making under conditions of uncertainty and expectations of future income. Design/Methodology/Approach: To address this objective, a quantitative, applied, and non-experimental methodology was used, with a cross-sectional design and a descriptive-correlational approach, surveying 300 Peruvian households. Results: The results revealed that 68% of the participants have a regular level of financial knowledge and 60% have a regular level of household indebtedness. In addition, a significant positive correlation of 0.891 was found between financial literacy and household indebtedness. Practical and social implications: The practical and social implications of the study are notable, highlighting the need to improve financial education, given the prevalence of fair and low financial knowledge and skills among participants. The implementation of financial education programs from an early age and in communities especially vulnerable to financial instability is proposed. In addition, the creation of a certification program for financial educators and the continuous training of financial sector professionals is suggested. Originality/value: In terms of originality and value, the proposals address various areas, such as academic, professional, social, political, economic, and strategic. The idea of seeding financial education from the early years of education and exploring the effectiveness of various financial education strategies is proposed. In addition, the creation of funds for financial innovation and the promotion of fintech companies is proposed, as well as the strategic implementation of partnerships with international organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. It is also suggested to use technology and digital platforms to expand the reach of financial education programs.

Implementation of The Integrated Development Post for Non-Communicable Diseases

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs/PTM) are the cause of morbidity, disability and death worldwide. NCDs are like stroke, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. NCDs can be prevented and controlled. Therefore, the government created a program to overcome this problem. The program is called Posbindu PTM. Posbindu PTM is a community service as an effort to detect early NCDs as well as follow-up efforts if NCDs are found in community groups. There are many studies on Posbindu PTM. However, there is no research that explains the partnerships carried out in the Posbindu PTM program. Therefore, researchers are interested in examining the phenomenon of Posbindu partnerships in Puskesmas of Mojotengah Work Area, Wonosobo. Objectives: This study is to describe the implementation of Posbindu PTM partnerships in the working area of ​​Mojotengah Puskesmas, Wonosobo. Methods: This research is a descriptive research. In detail, this research used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected by conducting semi-structured interviews. The saturation in this study was obtained from ten participants. Furthermore, researchers in analyzing data used content analysis. Results: Researchers revealed five themes in this study. The five themes include cooperation before the implementation of Posbindu, cooperation in Posbindu activities, the lack of knowledge and skill development activities for cadres, double cadres and support facilities.
 Conclussion: The partnership between health cadres is very important. In addition, partnerships also function to support the continuity and smooth implementation of NCDs Posbindu activities in the region. Cooperation with private parties such as clinics, independent practice of health workers, companies or factories has not been implemented.

Legal view on the concept of optimum models of public-private partnership in the security sector of Ukraine

The article is devoted to the study of public-private partnership in the security sector of Ukraine. It was established that public-private partnership is the highest form of interaction (cooperation) between the state and society, characterized by the involvement and exchange of resources provided by the non- state sector in order to increase innovation and efficiency in the public sector, as well as the development of certain areas.
 Attention is drawn to the fact that despite the fact that the Law of Ukraine «On Public-Private Partnership» does not single out the security sector as an area where interaction between the state and society is possible, the analysis of current legislation in the defense sphere and daily practice shows that the security sector is also sphere of implementation of public-private partnership. It is specified that a) the security of the state is a good that is necessary for the proper and full functioning of society; b) the sphere of state security contributes to the provision of public interest, which determines the need for proper interaction of the private and public sectors; c) the field of security, within which the public-private partnership is implemented, includes cyber security, public safety, protection of critical infrastructure facilities, border security and territorial integrity of Ukraine, etc.
 It is established that the study of public-private partnership models is impossible without taking into account the experience of the United States of America (Anglo-American legal system) and the European Union (Romano-Germanic legal system). It was concluded that the most optimal models of public-private partnership in the security sector for Ukraine are 1) implementation of priority projects in the field of infrastructure of local and state importance through the tender procedure (practice of the United States of America); 2) attraction of state assets by private companies, which makes it possible to implement many joint projects in the field of security (practice of the European Union); 3) contract for management and operation (of the European Union); 4) concession agreement.

Law enforcement of electronic government in the context of public-private partnership in the state security and defense sector

The article is devoted to the study of the law enforcement of electronic governance in the context of public-private partnership in the security and defense sector of the state. It was concluded that the application of electronic governance will be associated with general features of the use of digital technologies in the activities of public administration and special features mediated by public-private partnership in the security and defense sector of the state. It is noted that electronic governance is a concept of regulating social relations based on the use of digital technologies.
 It has been established that the key characteristic of e-governance is digitization management with an emphasis on the needs of the citizen. Attention is focused on the fact that the specifics of the law enforcement of e-governance of public-private partnership in the security and defense sector of the state is mediated by the possibility of using digital technologies as regulators of social relations related to ensuring the proper state of security of the state and its national interests.
 It was determined that the application of e-governance measures is an integral component of the national security of the state as a whole and the application of public-private partnership tools.
 It was established that the following should implement their activities based on the principles of electronic governance: 1) bodies authorized to regulate activities related to public-private partnership as a whole; 2) bodies acting as a party to public-private partnership in the security and defense sector of the state.
 The thesis that the degree of application of electronic governance tools in the public-private partnership in the security and defense sector will vary depending on the status of the entity that will act as a party to contractual relations from the state side is substantiated.
 It is concluded that finding a balance between the use of digital tools that allow to simplify public access to the activities of public institutions during the implementation of public-private partnerships with the obligation not to disclose activities in this context will always lean towards the functional purpose of protecting the state over ideas digital transformation.

Anomaly in Supervision of MSME Partnerships in Indonesia: Comparison of Indonesia, Malaysia, and VietnamAnomaly in Supervision of MSME Partnerships in Indonesia: Comparison of Indonesia, Malaysia, and VietnamAnomaly in Supervision of MSME Partnerships in

Partnership for micro, small, and medium enterprises (“MSMEs”) is a strategy to improve the quality of MSMEs through sharing knowledge and technology, funding, etc. Therefore, Law No. 20/2008 jo. Government Regulation No.7/2021 regulates the implementation of MSME partnerships. One of them is related to the Supervision of MSME Partnerships carried out by the Business Competition Supervisory Commission “(KPPU”). This study aims to test whether the KPPU’s authority to oversee MSME partnerships is appropriate or not. By compiling a list of laws and regulations, journals, and other materials, this study employs a normative juridical methodology. The data obtained will be analyzed qualitatively by concluding inductively. As a result, the supervision of MSME partnerships by KPPU does not follow the basis and objectives of the establishment of KPPU. Compared to Malaysia, all MSME development activities are regulated and supervised by SME Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp. Malaysia) as an authority under the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives (“MEDAC”). Meanwhile, in Vietnam, the Government established The Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency (VIETRADE) which is under the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam with one of the tasks of its authority to develop MSMEs and encourage MSME cooperation with large companies. Seeing this comparison, it is appropriate that the authority to manage all MSME activities including partnerships is given to an institution whose main focus is handling the MSME sector in Indonesia, namely the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs.

Experiences of inequality in international collaborative research – Perspectives from environmental and sustainability scholars from Ghana, West Africa

Global north and south research partnerships are essential for building research capacity in the global south and for generating new knowledge to address complex socio-environmental problems. However, insights from various disciplines, particularly global health research, suggest that north-south research collaborations often reproduce unequal power relations and outcomes. To mitigate these, some international funding organizations have produced guidelines that promote ethical practice in collaborative research. Despite these measures, significant gaps exist in understanding how the experiences and perspectives of Global South scholars, particularly those in the field of environmental sciences, shapes discourses on unequal north-south research partnerships and the ethical guidelines developed to address disparities. To bridge this gap, we conducted explorative qualitative research focused on understanding the experiences of environmental science and sustainability researchers from Ghana in international collaborative research. Our findings revealed a general optimism among scientists regarding the benefits of international collaborative for making impactful contributions in the global south, expanding professional networks, opening opportunities to publish in high impact journals and developing new research skills. At the same time, our findings also indicate that pervasive forms of inequality centered around lack of recognition, poor clarity of roles, disrespect, unequal resource sharing, poor communication, and non-adherence to contractual agreements persist. We contribute to the ongoing scholarly debate on research inequality by proposing a framework to guide the management, design, and implementation of north-south research partnerships. Our proposed framework serves as a starting point toward identifying potential unequal and unethical issues that often arise in north-south research partnerships.
