Analisis kebijakan RAD Membangun Generasi Unggul melalui 8000 HPK di Kota Yogyakarta

The target of accelerating stunting reduction includes the period from pregnancy to adolescence, where every period of life has the opportunity to correct past growth failures. This study aims to present the results of the evaluation of the implementation of the Regional Action Plan (RAD) policy to build a superior generation through the First 8000 Days of Life (HPK) in 2021–2025 Yogyakarta City. The method used in this study is a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative research is carried out with a cross-sectional design, including analysis of the health situation, related factors, and program achievements. Data sources are obtained from routine data report documents and other official websites. Data is analyzed in a descriptive way by presenting proportions, trends, narratives, tables, and figures. Meanwhile, qualitative research is carried out by designing rapid assessment procedures (RAP) through FGD and in-depth interviews and analyzed manually based on themes and sub-themes. The instruments of this research are an interview guide, FGD guide and a recorder. The results stated that the prevalence of stunting in Yogyarta City has decreased. Until the end of 2023, the evaluation of stunting reduction is carried out using indicators in accordance with Presidential Regulation 72 of 2021 concerning the acceleration of stunting reduction, but the evaluation with the indicators listed in RAD 8000 HPK has not been carried out comprehensively. Some factors that support the reduction in stunting prevalence are the commitment of regional leaders, good stunting governance, program achievement that is high or above the target, the human development index (HDI), and the high average length of schooling. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors in reducing stunting are economic inequality, knowledge, community participation in Posyandu, littering behavior, and access to health insurance services for non-KTP residents of Yogyakarta City.

Pencapaian Sustainable Development Goals di Sumatera Barat melalui Pertanian Berkelanjutan

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of international agreements on efforts that must be made to create a just, prosperous, and safe world for humans and the planet Earth. Efforts to achieve SDG number 2, namely "zero hunger", need to be done by implementing sustainable agriculture. This article explains the implementation of sustainable agriculture in West Sumatra Province, which has prepared a "Regional Action Plan for Sustainable Development Goals." In the RAD, it is stated that the Provincial Government will build a sustainable food production system. This research was conducted using a qualitative method. Data collection was carried out through interviews with farmer groups and various government agencies, accompanied by a review of related documents. The researcher used a policy framework consisting of four factors proposed by Eyhorn et al. (2019) to realize sustainable agriculture. The results of this study indicate that the first factor, namely the transformation towards sustainable agriculture, is underway in West Sumatra Province. The second factor, namely cooperation with the market to absorb sustainable agricultural products, has been attempted; the other two factors, namely incentives and sanctions related to sustainable agriculture, still need to be implemented.

Regional Government Policy in the Implementation of Child-Friendly City: An Analysis of Way Kanan District

The child-friendly city concept implementation in Way Kanan City is intended to fulfill the needs of children's rights there. This paper aims to contribute to policymakers’ implementation of child-friendly cities, especially in developing countries, by analyzing how child-friendly cities are implemented and the challenges faced. This article was created using socio-legal research methods. The results of this study show that the implementation is carried out by the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection through several stages, namely, KLA development planning in the form of preparing Regional Action Plans, then implementing KLA development in the form of KLA programs’ implementation by involving all resources and implementing child-friendly school programs as well as monitoring and evaluating KLA development regularly. Implementation constraints come from internal factors. Challenges include limited human resources and an inability to understand women's empowerment and child protection issues, which affect socialization. Public facilities also need improvement to meet child-friendly standards. Meanwhile, technical coordination issues and misunderstandings about the KLA program's purpose arise due to external factors. Societal attitudes towards violence as education hinder program implementation. The suggestion for this research is to improve coordination between stakeholders or increase cooperation with partners to overcome problems regarding the lack of human resources, increase the budget and optimize the implementation of child-friendly city efforts.

Exploring the contribution of Japan's experience in addressing rapid aging in Asia: Focus on dementia care.

This review article explores the potential contribution of Japan's experience in addressing rapid aging in Asia with a specific focus on dementia care. As Japan is a frontrunner in terms of aging society, we consider valuable insights and lessons from Japanese policy history and reflect on its contribution. The World Health Organization, Regional Office for the Western Pacific Regional Action Plan on Healthy Ageing for the Western Pacific was compared with the Japanese "Outline for Promotion of Dementia Policies". The following five issues were discussed: i) improving awareness of dementia and community engagement in Japan from a mutual aid perspective; ii) social activities for prevention of dementia at the local level; iii) human resources for medical and long-term care; iv) local coordinators for old people care at home to evaluate the needs for care and tailor the care-plan on an individual basis; v) research and development of long-term care products. Given these factors, it is important to address the aging society through a combined cross-sectoral approach, including policy, research, development of care products, community, and education of care workers. Aging population measures in Japan do not provide a definitive answer, which prompts the consideration of better solutions derived from Japan's trial and error. The aging rate of 7%, 14%, and 21% are commonly used in international comparisons as indicators of the speed of the aging process, but before this 7% is reached, policies tailored to each country should be considered.

Conservation of Coastal Agriculture and Forestry–towards a Sustainable Blue Economy

Blue economy is an economic system or sector that seeks to conserve marine and freshwater environments while using them in a sustainable way to develop economic growth and produce resources such as energy and food. In terms of the global economy, around 90 per cent of all internationally traded goods are shipped by sea, and the market value of marine and coastal resources and industries is estimated at US$3 trillion per year or about 5 per cent of global gross domestic product. Sustainable use of ocean, seas and marine resources, as set out in SDG14, lies at the center of a sustainable blue economy. Sri Lanka‘s coastline is 1,340 kilometres and approximately 33 percent of Sri Lanka's population lives in coastal areas that support diverse livelihoods, from fishing to tourism to manufacturing and modern urban services. The coastal areas often provide excellent soil and climatic conditions for agriculture, which has been practiced for thousands of years and plays an important role in the economy of coastal areas. Apart from the traditional rice based farming systems it also comprise of coastal fishing and coastal aquaculture, seaweed cultivation, coconut based cropping systems, commercial cash cropping systems and homestead farming systems. With regards to forests, mangroves, coastal forests, savannah woodlands, dry forests are present in these areas. Further, coral reefs, sea grass beds, salt marshes also play an important role in sustaining the balance as together they provide habitats for biodiversity, food, shade, medicine, products for the industry, protection of the coastline and carbon sequestration. However, these ecosystems are threatened due to numerous factors; climate change (as it induces flooding, shoreline erosion, salinity intrusion, temperature rise), due to conflicting activities such as operational in these coastal areas such as infrastructure including shoreline structures (harbors, breakwaters, tourist hotels), other tourism activities, industry etc. On the face of this, these ecosystems are often in the frontline to get depleted. The habitats are also getting modified due to the increase of toxicity from both inland and marine pollution, invasion of species. Therefore more concerted effort need to be exerted for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources if the country wants to reap the benefits of the blue economy sustainably. As oceans are shared by many countries, actions need to be taken at country, region and even global levels in the areas of regulation, technology transfer, enhancing awareness and education. A mechanism for regular monitoring is a must and this responsibility need to be shared by all the stakeholders. It is imperative to zone the coastal areas so that complementary activities will be lumped together. It is also required to strengthen the already available international agreements between the member countries such as South Asian Seas Programme, Programmes with the International Maritime Organisations, IORA (Indian Ocean Rim Association), BIMSTECH in arriving at regional policies and action plans and implementation of same with proper monitoring. The quantification of the resource is a vital step. It is also important to operationalize the Coastal Zone Management Plans in existence and declare Special Area Management Sites to ensure conservation and sustainable use of these resources.

Urban green space optimization in Sorong City of Southwest Papua Province based on environmental carrying capacity and environmental capacity

Immediate action is required to optimize the urban green open spaces in Sorong City to meet the obligation of increasing the baseline from 8.21% to 32.96%. The process will involve several stakeholders, including the Regional Government of Sorong City and Southwest Papua Province, Vertical Institutions, University of Papua, Development Partners, Indigenous Peoples, Media, and Private Parties. Upon evaluating the starting conditions in Sorong City, it is observed that the Environmental Quality Index (EQI) value stands at 58.96, indicating a sufficient category. This is mainly attributed to the detrimental impact of river water pollution (Water Quality Index, WQI) and the diminished coverage (Forest Cover Index, FCI) resulting from various commercial activities in metropolitan areas. Given the escalating climate change and the rise in hydrometeorological disasters, particularly heavy rainfall, erosion, and landslides, Sorong City must maximize the utilization of open green spaces (GOS). By improving the GOS, it was found that the Sorong Green Index (SGI) value was 94.77 in the outstanding category. In addition, utilizing the POAC approach for management analysis, it is imperative to promptly take necessary measures for various functions that are now inactive. The parties are expected to fulfill the task of job tagging and budget tagging to establish regional action plans.

Smart heat-health action plans: A programmatic, progressive and dynamic framework to address urban overheating

Cities stand at the focal point of vulnerability to heat waves (HWs) as they threaten urban livability and sustainability. National, regional, and local heat-health action plans (HHAPs) are vital for combating HWs and are increasingly crucial as adaptation measures to extreme heat. The present article highlights the most recent development on the working mechanism of HHAPs, its contemporary challenges, barriers to it and a range of operational heat management and planning strategies. It introduces the concept of 'smartness' to the existing mechanism of HHAPs which holds a significant potential to be intelligent, explicit and dynamic to address the growing and multifaceted impacts of extreme heat. It emphasizes urgent priorities including long-term heat planning, multisectoral heat-early warning systems, building urban heat resilience and recommends the application of eight core elements endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for effective implementation of HHAPs. Collaboration among meteorological, epidemiological, public health, and urban planning experts is essential for addressing the multidimensional challenges of extreme heat.

Analysis of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) implementation based on GEDSI and climate resilience in Kupang City

This paper provides an overview of WASH implementation, GEDSI, and climate resilience in Kupang City, revealing significant gaps. These gaps include the absence of a monitoring mechanism due to a lack of consensus among local bureaucracies (OPD) concerning community-based total sanitation (STBM) and inadequate budget allocation for monitoring. Additionally, there is a lack of integration between program implementation and existing Urban Sanitation Strategy (SSK) documents, posing an additional challenge to effective STBM execution. Qualitative methodologies, such as key informant interviews and focus group discussions, were employed to engage with key stakeholders, including city government representatives, local leaders, and community youth organizations. The analysis emphasizes Kupang City’s efforts in STBM implementation, persistent deficiencies in sanitation management at the urban village level, and ongoing challenges in raising community awareness about proper sanitation practices. Recurring climate vulnerabilities affecting infrastructure and the local population have led to the development of Regional Action Plans for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (RAD API-PRB). Vulnerability during disasters primarily impacts women and children, underscoring the importance of gender equality within households and across all WASH and climate change activities. The absence of youth involvement highlights the need for comprehensive collaboration among stakeholders. Follow-up recommendations align with the SDG 6 Global Acceleration Framework, focusing on data, financing, governance, innovation, capacity building, community participation, and elements related to GEDSI.

Civil Society and Gender Mainstreaming: Case Study of the Working Group on Women and Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (WGWC) Program

The transformation of women's role in terrorism networks from victims to supporters, perpetrators and even recruiters as well as ideologues is now a social phenomenon in Indonesia. Civil society organizations (CSOs) responded to this phenomenon by forming the Working Group on Women and Preventing/Countering Violent Extremism (WGWC). There are several reasons behind this movement, such as; the strong patriarchal culture and regime in society and policy makers, the lack of women's involvement in efforts to eradicate violent extremism and terrorism, and the sporadic work of CSOs. This research uses a qualitative methodology with a case study approach. Data and information were obtained from interviews and documentation. The research found several points. First, WGWC be a forum for activists, academics, and civil society organizations in Indonesia on gender mainstreaming and countering violent extremism in Indonesia issues. WGWC applies a collegial collective system by sharing the framework of civil society partners. WGWC works voluntarily, independently and autonomously. Second, WGWC acts as a critical and strategic partner of the government in gender mainstreaming by intervening in policies and programs of the National Action Plan for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism that Leads to Violence (RAN PE) and Regional Action Plans (RAD PE).

Stakeholder Analysis in Maternal and Child Health Policy in Subang Regency

This research aims to analyze the stakeholders involved in implementing maternal and child health policies in Subang Regency. With a focus on the public health context, this research identifies key stakeholder groups that have an important role in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of maternal and child health policies. This research method uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research results show that the problem identification process in maternal and child health policy in Subang Regency involves various stakeholders, including government institutions, community groups and other institutions. The Subang District Health Service is proven to have great influence and high commitment, while the Regional Government Budget Team/TAPD, Civil Registry Office, and Family Planning are also actively involved. However, there are still weaknesses in completing the Regional Action Plan (RAD) as well as limited understanding of various policy alternatives. Therefore, further efforts are needed to strengthen commitment and increase mutual understanding in order to optimize policy steps that can reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) in the region.

Assessing the efficiency of microplastics extraction methods for tropical beach sediments and matrix preparation for experimental controls

IntroductionMicroplastic pollution has become a global issue, eliciting attention not just from the scientific community but also both from the public and governmental bodies. Drawing data-driven policies and interventions, however, remain difficult due to the severely lacking baseline information from different environments such as beaches. One of the challenges in doing baseline studies is the lack of harmonized methodologies that will allow for comparison of results, integration of data, and its effective translation to evidence-based policies. Emphasis on quality control measures among baselining efforts through the proper implementation of experimental controls is also lacking.MethodologyTo address these gaps, we compared methodologies for preparing the sediment matrix for experimental controls, as well as evaluated protocols for extracting microplastics from tropical beach sediments. Beach sediments were collected, dried, sieved, and spiked with known amounts of microplastics of different polymer types. The removal and extraction efficiencies of the protocols being compared were evaluated.Results and discussionOur results showed that subjecting beach sediments to a furnace at 550° C for 4 hours is the most efficient way to remove plastic contamination, implying its applicability for preparing experimental controls. Meanwhile, a modified version of Masura et al. (2015), one of the widely cited methodologies for microplastics extraction, exhibited the highest mean extraction efficiency (99.05 ± 0.82%) among the protocols being compared. Results of this work will be useful in identifying methods that can be adopted and utilized for research and baselining efforts not just in the Philippines but also in Southeast Asia. This will also be helpful in the harmonization of methods, data reporting, and even skills as implemented through the regional and national action plans to address marine plastic pollution.

No Poverty and No Hunger as Achievements in Implementing the SDGs Economic Pillar

The realization of the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the economic pillar is represented by the goal of development without poverty and without hunger, the achievement of which is expected to decrease further by 2030. Implementation of indicators in goal 1 and goal 2 of the Regency SDGs Bogor, which has been implemented according to the regional action plan during the 2020-2022 period, was observed for its achievements using descriptive explanation methods and qualitative analysis of achievement of indicator targets in Bogor Regency. The study results show that policy implementation in Bogor Regency looks very good, especially in reducing poverty rates, increasing health service rates, and reducing stunting and work programs. Apart from that, the activities of all Regional Apparatus Organizations in the Bogor Regency Government have led to the achievement of sustainable development goals, especially SDGs goal 1 and goal 2 as part of the economic pillar.

On the path to an equitable and sustainable digital future for European health systems

Equitable, patient-centred approaches are at the centre of WHO/Europe's regional digital health action plan 2023-2030 which was approved by Member States of the European Region at the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee. The Action Plan specifically identifies the need for WHO to “identify and examine the main impacts that gender and equity present in the adoption and scaling of digital health solutions in the Region.” The session will be organised as a round table discussion to examine to inequalities surrounding access to, and the use of data and digital technologies in health care and public health. Panellists will firstly discuss the factors which give rise to inequalities in access and use of data and digital technologies in health and then examine strategies for how the digital transformation of health systems going forward can address these barriers. They will be asked to reflect on the future of digital health systems in Europe and the ethical, policy, legal and technical actions required to ensure trust, safety and equitable access to health services and data digitally. Finally, in line with the theme of the conference, panellists will be asked to extend the discussion to reflect upon the use of digital technologies in the context of sustainability and how the public health community can drive thinking around the agenda for the green digitalization of health.

Barriers and Strategies for Hepatitis B and C Elimination in Pakistan.

Pakistan has a high hepatitis burden for both hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV). To achieve World Health Organization (WHO) 2030 targets for hepatitis elimination, there is a need to constitute progress in the country, find the barriers and strategies for HCV elimination, and take actions to address the gaps. We collected data from (1) WHO estimates in 2020, (2) midterm review questionnaire of the WHO regional action plan, and (3) WHO estimates on immunization. We analyzed these data to inform (1) the burden defined as prevalence and mortality and (2) response in 3 thematic areas: governance, policy, and finance; strategic information; and service delivery. The prevalence of hepatitis B in the general population is 1.6% with 12 000 deaths/year. The prevalence of hepatitis C in the general population is 7.5% with 19 000 deaths and 545 000 new cases (incidence)/year. The selected indicators to monitor progress on viral hepatitis in Pakistan were governance and financing, policies and guidelines, and strategic information. The overall governance indicators are good with a focal point, a national hepatitis strategy, an operational plan, strategy for price reduction, and involvement of civil society but the costed action plan and the advocacy strategy are missing. The indicators on policies and guidelines are also adequately addressed. The hepatitis B and C testing and treatment guidelines are available, there is a policy to screen all blood donations, and there is an injection safety policy, but the policy for timely hepatitis B vaccine birth dose and hepatitis B vaccination for the vulnerable is missing. Both indicators regarding strategic information, that is measures of key hepatitis indicators and regular data review, are missing. The status of 5 key interventions in Pakistan show that the hepatitis B vaccination coverage is 74% and only 3% of newborn children are given the hepatitis B vaccine birth dose. Only 22% of HCV cases have been diagnosed and 2% have received treatment. Treatment response is 96%. Same-day testing and treatment of hepatitis C reduced the overall dropout rate and improved the cascade of care. Decentralization and task shifting are important tools to improve service delivery and reach communities. Finances to implement hepatitis elimination is a major barrier. Pakistan has the highest hepatitis disease burden. With the current pace, hepatitis elimination appears impossible. Introduction of the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine and improving access and affordability of testing can improve the testing and treatment numbers. Finances need to be mobilized from within the country and outside to support disease elimination.

Dampak Penerapan Penerapan SIKAP Terhadap Aspek Produktivitas Kerja pada Bagian Perencanaan dan Keuangan Sekretariat Daerah Kabupaten Agam

This study aims to determine the impact of applying the SIKAP application in the aspect of work productivity in the Planning and Finance Section of the Regional Secretariat of Agam Regency. To make it easier to recap daily work reports, the Agam Regency Government has implemented a Government Apparatus Performance Information System (SIKAP) since 2018 where previously the daily performance reporting of ASN Employees was done manually. The use of the SIKAP application is outlined in the Amendment to the Regent's Regulation concerning Additional Employee Income (TPP). To see the Work Productivity of ASN employees, they are required to make a Work Daily report (LKH), which is a record of the implementation of ASN Employee duties every working day in accordance with their authority and responsibilities. Which will have an impact on TPP acceptance. The SIKAP application was created to fulfill the Corruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) Regional Action Plan (RAD) which requires the use of an application to facilitate fast and ready-to-use data processing, more guaranteed validity, ease of data entry for daily performance reports. And to facilitate control from the leadership so that it is more efficient in reducing paper use and speeding up data processing. The method used is the Census method for ASN Employees. The results of the study stated that the impact of implementing the SIKAP application on aspects of work productivity has supported the implementation of work and needs to be implemented properly and maximally to obtain TPP.

Penilaian dan Pemetaan Status Keberlanjutan Kota di Provinsi Banten

The world population is proliferating, and the proportion of people living in urban areas is also increasing. It is challenging to achieve the SDGs, especially SDG 11, which aims to make cities and communities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Meeting the needs of urban residents, such as housing, public infrastructure, a clean environment, security, jobs, and other basic needs to live comfortably in a city with limited resources, is a problem. Sustainable cities are becoming increasingly important today to facilitate the growth of sustainable cities that integrate economic, sociocultural, environmental, ICT/transverse, and urban dimensions. Effective evaluation of urban sustainability is essential for sustainable development. Banten Province is one of the regions that has committed to achieving the SDGs. This commitment is contained in Banten Governor Regulation Number 47 of 2019 concerning the Regional Action Plan for the Sustainable Development Goals of Banten Province for 2020‒2022. Therefore, this study aims to assess and map the sustainability status of cities in Banten Province using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) analysis and processed with PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHods for Enrichment Evaluation). The number of criteria for a sustainable city in 2012 was 82 criteria and 109 criteria in 2022, where the highest number of criteria is on the sociocultural and economic dimensions. The PROMETHEE results show that the cities in Banten Province with the best sustainability levels are Tangerang City and South Tangerang City. City governments with low sustainability status or experiencing a decrease in sustainability status need to improve the performance of sustainable city indicators so that development can be sustainable.
