Menurut data Biro Pusat Statistik (Guci, 2017) disebutkan bahwa Aceh Barat adalah satu kabupaten termiskin di wilayah Provinsi Aceh. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah konflik yang pernah terjadi dan bencana alam gempa bumi dan tsunami 2004. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan Program Kuliah Pengabdian Masyarakat (KPM) Inovatif Universitas Membangun Desa (UMD) pemberdayaan tanaman enceng gondok di wilayah Aceh Barat dengan segala keunggulan, keterbatasan, dan keunikan pada setiap langkahnya dengan menggunakan wawancara dan observasi langsung sebagai alat pengambilan data. Program KPM Inovatif UMD adalah sebuah program yang dilaksanakan oleh Lembaga Pengabdian Masyarakat UIN Ar Raniry yang bekerja sama dengan KOMPAK Indonesia. Program ini dilaksanakan oleh dosen sebagai supervisor, mahasiswa sebagai peserta, dan LP2M UIN Ar Raniry sebagai panitia pelaksana di tiga desa di Kecamatan Arongan Lambalek, Kabupaten Aceh Barat. KPM Inovatif UMD dilakukan selama enam bulan, yaitu Oktober 2016 hingga Maret 2017 dengan tiga tahapan: tahap penyiapan lembaga, tahap penyiapan sumber daya manusia pengrajin enceng gondok, dan tahap penyiadaan pasar bagi kerajinan enceng gondok. Kegiatan ini telah melahirkan lima kelompok usaha produktif dengan menghasilkan produk kerajinan berbahan dasar enceng gondok. Kesimpulan kegiatan ini adalah masyarakat sangat antusias dalam mengembangkan produk kerajinan berbahan dasar enceng gondok untuk dapat menyejahterakan kehidupan keluarga, namun masih terkendala dengan kualitas produk yang dihasilkan dan tempat pemasaran yang potensial di kemudian hari. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peran pemerintah dalam melanjutkan program pemberdayaan masyarakat ini.

ASEAN is one of the regions with the highest rate of disaster vulnerability. Tsunami 2004 has triggered the momentum for Indonesia and ASEAN to deal with disaster-related issues more seriously. Losses and casualties from the catastrophe led to the decision by Indonesian government to put disaster prevention and risk reduction as a priority. Indonesia continues to encourage and supporting ASEAN in order to improve the region’s capability to deal with natural disaster. Through AADMER (ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response) that was signed in July 2005, ASEAN held an unequivocal and defined base in any efforts of disaster management, especially in the ASEAN region. Through Qualitative Methodology, this paper will discuss about how the disaster diplomacy of Indonesia contributes to the improvement of ASEAN’s capability in the disaster management, but also examines BNPB as both the backbone and the focal point of Indonesia’s disaster management, which then leads up to how disaster can abolish certain diplomatic hurdles, as well as improving regional cooperation, and strengthen the Indonesia’s position as a key country in regional disaster management.

AbstractSexual violence and intimate partner violence are exacerbated by armed conflict and other humanitarian crises. This narrative systematic review of evidence for interventions to reduce risk and incidence of sexual and intimate partner violence in conflict, post-conflict and other humanitarian crises, updates and expands our review published in 2013. A search of ten bibliographic databases for publications from January 2011 to May 2020 used database specific key words for sexual/intimate partner violence and conflict/humanitarian crisis. The 18 papers, describing 16 studies were undertaken in conflict/post-conflict settings in 12 countries. Six intervention types were reported: i) personnel; ii) community mobilisation; iii) social norms; iv) economic empowerment; v) empowerment; and vi) survivor responses, with the most common being economic empowerment (n = 7) and gendered social norms interventions (n = 6). Combined interventions were reported in nine papers. Four studies identified non-significant reductions in incidence of sexual/ intimate partner violence, showing an evident positive trend; all four evaluated gendered social norms or economic empowerment singly or in combination. Evidence for improved mental health outcomes was found for some economic empowerment, social norms and survivor interventions. Some evidence of reduced risk of sexual violence and intimate partner violence was identified for all intervention types. Qualitative studies suggest that experiences of social connection are important for women who participate in programming to address sexual and intimate partner violence. Interventions with multiple strategies appear to hold merit. Achieving and demonstrating reduced sexual and intimate partner violence remains challenging in this context. Future research should continue to explore how social norms interventions can be most effectively delivered, including the impact of including mixed and same sex groups. Work is needed with local partners to ensure programs are contextually adapted.

If the politics of aspirational construction appeal to the enchantment of infrastructure, reconstruction usually takes as given an environment of post-conflict, natural disaster, or the degradation of systems of preservation or resource management. If construction and conservation are taken as markers of continuity and political stability what does the urge to build again say about those who exert these ideas in advancement of a set of common goals? Shaped through multi-sited ethnography in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, this essay explores the mediation of mood and its material speculations. Concepts borrowed from both the preservation of the moving image and digital forms of heritage restoration provide ways of rethinking the place of reconstruction and coming to a new understanding of its sensual and atmospheric terrain.

The conflict between Sunni and Shia groups in Sampang did not take place at once but rather through certain periods of time when each conflict had triggered another conflict. In each period, either the government and religious elite has a pivotal role to evaluate, charge or discharge, civic engagement and elite integration in the conflict process. This article is aimed to analyze the violence against Shia group in three periods of time: pre-conflict, midi-conflict, and post-conflict. The first period started after Kiai Makmun had passed away. The second was when the violence occurred in December 29th 2011 and August 26th 2012. And the third occurred after the violence had taken place. Although the conflict has run for several years, it has not shown the end. In order to explain this problem, this article bases on two hypotheses: first, the conflict has been caused by the absence of civic engagement. And second, which was caused the conflict continuation, has been caused by elite integration, which has never occurred on the society. This article concludes two things: first, civic engagement that can find only intra-communal engagement (intra-community engagement). And second, elite integration cannot be created because Shia’s Kiai had not been legitimized by Sunni’s Kiai.
