The impact of direct health facility financing on MNCH service provision: results from a comparative, before-after study in Pwani Region, Tanzania

BackgroundPwani Regional Secretariat in Tanzania implemented the Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health Project (2016–2022) through Direct Health Facility Financing (DHFF), which allocates funds directly to health facilities. This study assessed the impact of the six-year DHFF project in Pwani region.MethodsThe study utilised District Health Information Software 2 data from 18 intervention health facilities in Pwani region. Control groups comprised an equal number of facilities from Pwani and Dodoma regions where the project was not implemented. Key indicators assessed included ‘ANC 4 + Rate (%)’, ‘Percentage of Mothers tested for Anaemia during ANC’, ‘Caesarean Section Delivery Rate (%)’, ‘Percentage of Mothers and Newborns receiving PNC services within 48 hours’, ‘Delivery Complication Rate (%)’, and ‘SBA Delivery Rate (%)’ which are associated with the project interventions. The impact of the project was analysed using a paired sample t-test comparing baseline and endline data. We evaluated the significance of the dependent variables using one-way ANOVA with control groups, with the Tukey-Kramer test for post hoc analysis. Chi-square test assessed the significance of Caesarean Section Delivery Rate and the relationship between variables and health facility conditions. Pearson correlation test was used for significance between funding size and the change of MNCH variables. Statistical significance at 0.05 was calculated.ResultsThe project showed limited positive impacts, only in the ‘Percentage of Mothers tested for Anaemia during ANC’ (****p < 0.0001), ‘Percentage of Newborns receiving PNC within 48 hours’ (**p = 0.0095), and ‘SBA Delivery Rate’ (***p = 0.0043). The health facility assessment identified positively influencing factors on service delivery, such as facility type (*p = 0.0347), distance to the facility (****p < 0.0001), and internet connectivity (*p = 0.0186). We found that the project did not improve most MNCH indicators, including the CEmONC coverage (χ2 = 2.82, p = 0.2448, df = 2), which was known to be the leading outcome.ConclusionThe project had limited impacts on MNCH outcomes due to various factors. While the health facility assessment highlighted positive influences on service delivery, significant areas for improvement remain, including referral systems and infrastructure. Operational research findings indicate that the effectiveness of the DHFF could be enhanced by refining its management and governance structures.

Legal protection of personal data security in Indonesian Local Government apps: Al Farabi's perspective

The rapid advancement of technology is a double-edged sword. While it provides easy access to information, it also opens the door to unrestricted access, including personal data. Governments worldwide are leveraging technology to enhance their connection with citizens and deliver top-tier public services. In this vein, the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta as an Indonesian local government, launched a SuperApps called JAKI in 2019 as a dynamic platform for two-way communication between DKI Jakarta residents and local authorities. This research employs empirical juridical methods, incorporating statutory and conceptual approaches. Drawing from primary sources, including DKI Jakarta Regional Secretariat Decree Number 99 of 2022 concerning the Citizen Relations Management application and interviews with the Smart City Developer Service Unit, the study demonstrates that JAKI ensures robust data security. The app complies with ISO 2700, an international standard that regulates information security management systems and fulfils the three core components: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Furthermore, in alignment with Al Farabi's concept of information security accountability, the emphasis is placed on collaborative social responsibility between data owners and collectors, represented by DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

Tinjauan Kriminologis Terhadap Korupsi Pengadaan Benih Bawang Merah Dikabupaten Malaka

Extraordinary Crime is a label given to the crime of corruption. This is because corruption can hamper the economic life of the nation and state. Therefore, the eradication of corruption cannot be handled in the usual way but through an extraordinary handling. Corruption is a serious problem that can threaten the continuity of the Indonesian nation, coupled with the fact that the perpetrators of corruption are officials of government agencies who have a duty to foster and serve the community for the fulfillment of justice and public welfare. One of the easy targets for people who commit corruption, namely officials of government agencies in launching their actions, is the procurement sector of government goods and services. As happened in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency in the 2018 fiscal year involving government agency officials and private parties.The problem formulations in this study are: (1) Factors causing corruption in the procurement of government goods and services, namely the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency (2) The impact of corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency (3) Countermeasures to improve the process of procurement of government goods and services in Malaka Regency.The writing of this thesis uses a type of juridical-empirical research with a case approach method, so that it is based on applicable laws and regulations and data obtained in the field. The case approach taken in this research is related to the corruption case of shallot procurement in Malacca Regency in the 2018 fiscal year.The results of the study show that the factors causing corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency are the intention of the defendants, the existence of authority and the opportunity for corruption. The impact of corruption in the procurement of shallot seeds in Malaka Regency is a state loss of Rp. 4,770,725,000.00 (four billion seven hundred seventy million seven hundred twenty-five thousand rupiah), not only limited to state losses but also losses felt by the community and government agencies involved in the corruption case of shallot seed procurement, namely the Government Goods / Services Procurement Section at the Regional Secretariat of Malaka Regency and also the Agriculture and Food Security Office of Malaka Regency. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption in the procurement of goods and services of the Malaka district government are not only carried out by the government alone, but also involve the active role of the community in preventing corruption in the government goods/services procurement sector and also countermeasures involving cooperation between the Malaka district government and the Malaka district police.

Analysis of work life balance, job satisfaction and its effect on the performance of employees of the General Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of the Riau Islands Province

Purpose: This study analyzes the influence of work-life balance, work environment, and workload on performance through job satisfaction as a mediating variable on employees of the General Bureau of the Regional Secretariat of the Riau Islands Province. Results: Using primary data from 120 employees, this study found that work-life balance and workload have a significant influence on performance through the results of the path coefficient, meaning that the job satisfaction variable can mediate the influence of endogenous variables of work-life balance and workload on the performance variable. This can be explained by the fact that with the mediation of job satisfaction, when there is an increase in work-life balance and workload, employee performance will increase. The Work Environment does not have a significant influence on performance based on the results of the path coefficient, meaning that the job satisfaction variable cannot mediate the influence of the work environment variable on the performance variable. This can be explained by the fact that with the mediation of job satisfaction, when there is an increase in the work environment, it will not have an impact on increasing employee performance.

The Role of Work Engagement in Mediating Job Rotation on Employee Performance at the Regional Secretariat of Bireuen Regency

This study seeks to examine the function of work engagement as a mediating variable in the correlation between job rotation and employee performance at the Bireuen Regency Regional Secretariat. Although some organizations adopt job rotation to improve skills and mitigate employee monotony, its effect on performance continues to be a subject of contention. We propose that work engagement, an indicator of employee interest and dedication to their tasks, greatly affects the correlation between job rotation and employee performance. This study method adopts a quantitative approach, employing a survey technique with 150 workers of the Bireuen Regency Regional Secretariat as participants. We employed a path analysis model to examine the direct and indirect impacts of job rotation on employee performance via work engagement. The study's findings suggest that job rotation exerts a beneficial albeit statistically inconsequential impact on employee performance. The incorporation of job engagement as a mediating variable demonstrates a favorable and substantial effect on employee performance. Moreover, job rotation via work engagement positively and significantly influences employee performance. The Bireuen Regency Regional Secretariat has demonstrated that work engagement serves as a mediator in the link between job rotation and employee performance. This study indicates that management ought to prioritize enhancing employee work engagement via initiatives that promote job participation and satisfaction, particularly with job rotation, to attain superior performance.
