Increasing Trust in Local Government Financial Management and Building Integrity: Efforts Reform in Indonesia

In most general terms this article addresses the issue of the trust in the local government area in terms of financial management and integrity. This is important because it relates to the implementation of the obligations and functions of local government to the people by adjusting its financial capacity. Financial capacity of local governments to determine the ability of local governments in carrying out its functions as a public service function, development function and protective function. The low fiscal capacity will lead to negative effects, i.e., low levels of public services and can lead to the decline on public trust in local government performance. In summary, unresponsive governance has been responsible for the continuing decline of trust in government. The challenge now is to make government more trustworthy through improvement of basic services and access, emphasizing equality and fairness in providing services, take the solution to reduce graft and corruption seriously, improve integrity in governance, innovative leadership, pressing a waste of public resources, improve institutional representation, and involve civil society. The final challenge is to increase the trust in the government to make a deal trust between government and citizen, i.e., the integrity pact, and citizen charters. Therefore, this article describes several areas include the following: (1) The political culture and democratization; (2) Reform efforts such as professionalism, commitment and innovation; (3) Trust and integrity in the public service, i.e., accountability, transparency and anti-corruption. We begin by reviewing various examples in the local government for the financial management of local government including continuing efforts to address graft and corruption, red tape, and inefficiencies. In order to achieve effective governance, processes and procedures become an important instrument through an institutional reform. The absence of credible government agency is likely as a result of the high incidence of it. Therefore, institutions, processes and procedures changed for the better and have a standard of performance that can be compared with the services of the private sector.

Partisipasi Politik Perempuan pada Pemilihan Kepala Daerah 2018 dan Pemilihan Legislatif 2019 di Kabupaten Bojonegoro

Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah adanya kesenjangan gender di kehidupan publik maupun politik merupakan sebuah tantangan global yang terus dihadapi oleh masyarakat pada abad ke-21. Di level internasional maupun nasional telah membuat berbagai konvensi kebijakan, misalnya: Convention on Political Rights for Women dan Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, serta di Indonesia sendiri dibuatlah Kebijakan Afirmatif (Affirmative Action). Affirmative Action bukanlah hal baru, sejak berlakunya Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2003 tentang Pemilihan Umum hingga berlakunya undang-undang yang baru yaitu Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum. Pasal 173 ayat (2) huruf e mengenai kuota 30% (tiga puluh perseratus) keterwakilan perempuan sebagai salah satu syarat wajib untuk menjadi peserta pada Pileg serentak tahun 2019. Melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 diharapkan keterwakilan perempuan tercapai hingga 30% dengan penguatan melalui kepengurusan partai politik baik di tingkkat pusat maupun daerah. Minimnya jumlah perempuan yang berkiprah dalam dunia politik menjadi kendala besar bagi terwujudnya Amanah Undang-Undang mengenai kuota 30%, selain itu, isu-isu dan permasalahan yang rentan terjadi pada perempuan sulit mendapatkan perlindungan maupun payung hukum karena terbatasnya suara perempuan dalam proses pembuatan kebijakan. Pemilihan Legislatif (Pileg) di Indonesia tahun 1955- 2004, rata-rata perempuan yang terpilih menjadi anggota Legislatif adalah 9,58%, dan pada tahun 2009-2019 rata-rata perempuan yang terpilih sebanyak 18,22%. Di Kabupaten Bojonegoro sendiri, pada periode 2014 sebanyak 14% perempuan yang terpilih menjadi anggota Legislatif, sedangkan pada periode 2019 turun menjadi 10% atau 5 perempuan Legislatif yang terpilih. Selain Pemilihan Legislatif, pada 2018, Bojonegoro juga mengikuti Pilkada serentak, dari 171 daerah di Indonesia yang menghasilkan 14 perempuan Kepala Daerah terpilih, salah satunya adalah Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Bupati Anna Mu’awanah menjadi bupati pertama sejak periode Hindia-Belanda, Penjajahan Jepang, sampai Republik Indonesia tahun 1945-2018. Hal ini yang sangat menarik untuk dikaji, mengapa baru pada periode 2018 Kabupaten Bojonegoro memiliki pemimpin perempuan, padahal terpilihnya Kepala Daerah perempuan sudah terjadi di darah-daerah sekitar Bojonegoro jauh sebelum periode 2018. Penulisan Tesis dengan judul ”Hambatan Partisipasi Politik Perempuan pada Pemilihan Kepala Daerah Tahun 2018 dan Pemilihan Legislatif Tahun 2019 di Kabupaten Bojonegoro” merupakan sebuah studi dengan kajian khusus terhadap partisipasi politik perempuan dalam proses Pilkada dan Pileg di Bojonegoro. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini: Bagaimana partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 di Kabupaten Bojonegoro?; Apakah faktor yang menghambat partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 di Kabupaten Bojonegoro?. Tujuan penelitian ini: Untuk mengetahui gambaran partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 diKabupaten Bojonegoro; Untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis faktor penghambat partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 di Kabupaten Bojonegoro. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumen serta menggunakan analisa data kualitatif model interaktif (Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, 2014). Hasil temuan di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 dianalisan berdasarkan teori partisipasi politik perempuan Naqiya, bahwa akses partisipasi perempuan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pada partisipasi kehadiran masyarakat perempuan di TPS yaitu 83% yang mana periode sebelumnya adalah 69%. Pada partai politik sendiri, meskipun akses rekruitmen telah dipermudah dapat dibuka melalui online tetapi masih banyak masyarakat yang belum mengetahuinya. Secara mandiri, masyarakat yang tergabung dalam aktivis perempuan kabupaten Bojonegoro membentuk Kelompok Kerja (Pokja) Pengarus Utamaan Gender (PUG) yang rutin menggelar acara rapat koordinasi (rakor) dalam upaya sebagai kontrol pemerintah dan dalam meningkatkan kapasitas penguatan kelembagaan untuk mengoptimalissi terwujudnya kesetaraan dan keadilan gender yang dilakukan Bersama OPD. Suara perempuan dalam proses pembuatan kebijakan selama ini difasilitasi oleh Pemerintah Daerah melalui Musrenbang. Selain Musrenbang, masyarakat perempuan juga berinisiatif meembentuk program Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Perempuan Unggulan (PEREMPUAN) yang mana organisasi ini beberapa kali memberikan sumbangan untuk kebijakan Pemerintah Daerah dalam hal keadilan dan kesetaraan gender. Faktor-faktor yang menghambat partisipasi politik perempuan pada Pilkada 2018 dan Pileg 2019 berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, terdapat tiga faktor utama, yaitu: Pertama, perempuan Bojonegoro terjerat dalam kultur patriarki yang begitu kuat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Kultur patriarki ini meliputi: kultur budaya yang masih sangat kental memposisikan perempuan menjadi second class, keluarga yang tidak memeberikan dukungan, pendidikan perempuan yang masih sangat rendah disbanding laki-laki, keterbatasan ekonomi perempuan karena mayoritas tidak berkerja dan yang bekerja di sektor riil 39,07% perempuan memiliki kesenjangan gaji yang signifikan dari laki-laki. Kedua, doktrin agama yang masih konservatif dinilai terlalu mengekang kebebasan perempuan di ranah publik apalagi politik. Penilaian konservatif ini berasal baik dari diri perempuan sendiri yang membelenggu dirinya harus berada dibawah kendali lakilaki maupun dari peran lokal atau tokoh lokal yang mengajarkan paham agama berdasarkan tafsiran mutlak yang mengatakan laki-laki adalah imam dari perempuan dalam segala aspek. Ketiga, hegemoni negara yang hingga kini masih dipandang sebagai negara kaum laki-laki. Pandangan patrilineal ini disebabkan oleh aturan partai politik yang selama ini pro terhadap kaum laki-laki, sosialisasi atau pengarahan yang selama ini dilakukan pada kalangan-kalangan tertentu padahal mayoritas masyarakat perempuan tinggal di desa-desa kecil, serta pandangan perempuan terhadap politik yang masih sangat apatis

The Roles of Balanced Scorecard in Improving Performance Accountability System in Indonesian Government Organizations

Based on the evaluation report from the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, the quality of the Indonesian government organisation’s performance accountability is still deficient. Therefore, several Indonesian government institutions have practised the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), a perspective-based performance management tool, to improve their performance accountability. This paper analyses how the Indonesian central government employs BSC and strategy maps to improve its performance accountability systems. A descriptive qualitative study concluded that Indonesian government agencies use different approaches to implement perspectives in the BSC, which they think are best suited to the characteristics of each government organisation. Indonesian government institutions generally implement BSC as a strategy execution tool, a measurement tool, and a performance accountability report. Therefore, these roles of BSC lead to an improved performance accountability system. The essential factors in developing BSC implementation are explained as well. However, this paper only primarily uses data from the Ministry of Finance and focuses only on the central government due to data limitations and time constraints. Therefore, future research is suggested

Collaborative governance model in COVID-19 pandemic mitigation: a temporary unconditional cash transfer program

The COVID-19 disaster has spread all over Indonesia, causing a sense of laziness for people in the economy by paying very large costs, limited activities, and even losing their jobs. The government through the direct cash assistance program as a mitigation measure in reducing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but so far it has not been effective. The purpose of this study was to determine the ideal cooperative governance model for the cash transfer program during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results of this study indicate that the cash transfer program still has many obstacles in distributing it to many people who are not on target, which is the result of collaboration between stakeholders such as the Social Service, Population and Civil Registry Office, Village Government, Village Community, Coordinator Team Field, and the COVID-19 Task Force Team. To increase cooperation between these stakeholders by strengthening on several sides such as: First, the government conducts data collection and systematic data collection between the recommendations of the names of beneficiaries from the village with the approval by the Population and Civil Registry Office and the Social Service Office. Second, the Government and the Community carry out monitoring and supervision. The desired impact is that the temporary unconditional cash transfer program can run effectively and benefit people in need. This program is a social network during the COVID-19 period
