Women and coffee farming raise close attention in agriculture and development debates. History shows that women profoundly contribute to producing good quality coffee. However, their involvement has not fully brought positive development for themselves and their families. As a major coffee producer, women in Ulubelu, Lampung experience that condition. Women face market uncertainty, lack access to knowledge, lack power to make decisions, face unsupportive policies, and experience low participation in organizations to gain capacity building on coffee value chain. Although women deal with the difficult situation, there are some figures that encourage collective reflection of women to address the coffee farming problem. This paper attempts to assess women’s consciousness of coffee farming and how they develop kinds of action through social entrepreneurship to tackle the coffee farming issues. The research used descriptive analysis with a case study approach. The study found various reflections as a sign of women’s consciousness to engage in coffee farming and value chain. There are: a) coffee as a source of farming livelihood, b) coffee as cooperative entrepreneurship, and c) coffee as a sustainability ideal. The consciousness drives women to act and makes positive change. Furthermore, there are diverse actors engaged; for instance, NGO (Non-Government Organization), states and private. Although there are many actors involved, the certain quality assistance needs to be improved.
Indonesia Village Fund policy aims to foster local democracy and rural development through direct funds allocation. During the last seven years (2015-2022), the government has provided Village Fund 400,1 trillion rupiahs (278,3 billion dollars) and continues to increase every year. Numerous studies discover the Village Fund impact on economic conditions but are limited to village scale. This study intends to analyze the impact of the Village Fund on a macro scale, point on the economic growth of a region, specifically on disadvantaged regions. The study conducted through quantitative methods used the panel data approach. The data covers 416 districts from 2015 to 2019. The result shows that the Village Fund has a significant effect, but the value of the effect on GDPR (Gross Domestic Product of Region) is lower than other variables. The effect of Village Fund in disadvantaged regions is greater than in non-disadvantaged regions, which indicates growth acceleration in disadvantaged regions.
Indonesia is one of the countries with a fairly high level of disaster proneness. Based on the results of the 2020 Indonesia Disaster Risk Index (IRBI) published by BNPB, out of the number of 514 districts, there are 237 districts with high risk, while 277 districts with moderate risk. The high number of Indonesian disasters can also be seen from the number of disaster events. So far, disaster identification is limited to the district. The disaster risk index also has an area only up to the district. Whereas each village has different location characteristics so that disaster management cannot be equated. Therefore, this study tried to look at the risk of disaster-prone at the village level. The data used is the 2020 Village Potential data by looking at the number of disaster events and also the number of fatalities in each village from 2019 to March 2020. The method used an analysis description approach through data exploration. In addition, using quantitative methods principal analysis components to create an Index that will classify a village whether prone to disaster or not. The results of identification are still many villages that are prone to disaster. From these results, it is mapped that there are 1,158 villages that have high risk, 27,061 medium risk and 46,446 villages are in low risk. This means that about 38 thousand still have a risk of being prone to disasters.
