Implementation of the Gender Mainstreaming Policy in Supporting Sustainable Development in Kotamobagu City

This research aims to describe and analyze the Implementation of Gender Mainstreaming (PUG) in Supporting Sustainable Development in Kotamobagu City. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with 10 predetermined informants with data collection techniques namely observation, interviews and documentation with data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation and verification conclusion drawing. The results showed that the implementation of gender mainstreaming in Kotamobagu City faces significant challenges in various aspects that have an impact on its not optimal implementation. From the commitment sub-focus, limited understanding of the apparatus and inadequate budget allocations cause gender responsive policies and programs to be unevenly distributed at all levels of government, so that vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities and people with economic limitations have not been optimally accommodated. In the policy sub-focus, the lack of capacity of government officials and the unequal distribution of resources, especially in remote areas, further exacerbates the gap between policies and their implementation in the field. After that, in the resource sub-focus, limited time and budget for continuous training hinder the strengthening of apparatus competencies in integrating gender perspectives into the planning and implementation of development programs. In addition, the disaggregated data management sub-focus is still constrained by inadequate information systems and weak coordination between institutions, so that existing data has not been fully utilized to design gender-based policies. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen commitment, increase human resource capacity, effective data management systems, and cross-sector coordination to support inclusive sustainable development in Kotamobagu City.

Dinamika Partisipasi Masyarakat Dalam Pembangunan Desa Pintareng, Sulawesi Selatan

In village development, community participation is required. This research aims to further examine the level of community participation in Pintareng Village and the impact of community participation on development planning. This research uses a qualitative research method with a literature study approach. Data collection was obtained through written sources relevant to the research. The result of this research is that the low level of participation in Pintareng Village is evident from the lack of contribution of ideas and physical involvement of the community in the development process. The community is not fully aware of the importance of their role in planning and implementing development programs, which causes them to be less actively involved. Low community participation negatively impacts the gap between local needs and government policies, leading to irrelevant projects, lack of social support, and low quality of development. To address this, village governments need to improve socialization, facilitate inclusive deliberations, and provide incentives to active citizens, so that development is more in line with community needs and sustainable.

Drivers of vegetable market participation in southcentral Ethiopia: Heckman two-stage model approach

Vegetable marketing helps to increase household income and ensure food and nutrition security in developing countries, including Ethiopia. However, market participation by vegetable producers is typically low in many parts of Ethiopia. Thus, our study intends to investigate key drivers affecting vegetable market participation and its intensity among smallholder households in the Lemo district of southcentral Ethiopia. The data were collected from a total of 345 randomly selected respondents. Heckman’s two-stage model was employed to analyze the data. The findings show that the intensity of vegetable sales in the study area was 34.32%, implying that the larger proportion of the vegetable output was not marketed but consumed at the producers’ homes.The model results show that the respondent’s sex, age, education level, land size, perception towards weather conditions, access to credit, technology adoption, and market distance influenced vegetable market participation. Similarly, education level, family size, off/non-farm income, perception towards weather conditions, access to credit, technology adoption, and market information determined the intensity of vegetable market participation. Therefore, policies aimed at enhancing the implementation of gender-sensitive development programs alongside providing better access to adult education, credit, market information, improved technologies, better rural infrastructure, and market linkages are recommended to encourage smallholder farmers’ involvement in the market and enhance their livelihood improvement.
