“…Intergovernmental CG is even more challenging in LMICs as a result of weak social and political systems, hierarchical leadership and entrenched political patronage and corruption, 10 87 and high transaction costs of collaboration. [88][89][90][91] In northern Ghana, there have been attempts for adaptive CG for climate change management, but these have been constrained by mistrust and diverse interests. 89 These challenges partly contribute to the lack of incentives to work across jurisdictional boundaries.…”

Aspirations and realities of intergovernmental collaboration in national- level interventions: insights from maternal, neonatal and child health policy processes in Nigeria, 2009–2019

In Nigeria’s federal government system, national policies assign concurrent healthcare responsibilities across constitutionally arranged government levels. Hence, national policies, formulated for adoption by states for implementation, require collaboration. This study examines collaboration across government levels, tracing implementation of three maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) programmes, developed from a parent integrated MNCH strategy, with intergovernmental collaborative designs, to identify transferable principles to other multilevel governance contexts, especially low-income countries.National-level setting was Abuja, where policymaking is domiciled, while two subnational implementation settings (Anambra and Ebonyi states) were selected based on their MNCH contexts. A qualitative case study triangulated information from 69 documents and 44 in-depth interviews with national and subnational policymakers, technocrats, academics and implementers. Emerson’s integrated collaborative governance framework was applied thematically to examine how governance arrangements across the national and subnational levels impacted policy processes.The results showed that misaligned governance structures constrained implementation. Specific governance characteristics (subnational executive powers, fiscal centralisation, nationally designed policies, among others) did not adequately generate collaboration dynamics for collaborative actions. Collaborative signing of memoranda of understanding happened passively, but the contents were not implemented. Neither state adhered to programme goals, despite contextual variations, because of an underlying disconnect in the national governance structure.Collaboration across government levels could be better facilitated via full devolution of responsibilities by national authorities to subnational governments, with the national level providing independent evaluation and guidance only. Given the existing fiscal structure, innovative reforms which hold government levels accountable should be linked to fiscal transfers. Sustained advocacy and context-specific models of achieving distributed leadership across government levels are required across similar resource-limited countries. Stakeholders should be aware of what drivers are available to them for collaboration and what needs to be built within the system context.

“…Public administration has undergone transformations into many models, as suggested by [22]. According to [22], there are five familiar models of public administration in the eyes of researchers Regarding institutional models, stated that this model emphasizes social justice to ensure public rights can function properly, through the enforcement of formal and informal values as its instruments [6] [8]. The enforcement of social justice through these formal and informal values, according to [23], is part of the functioning of networks in the public realm.…”

“…The construction of reality is influenced by the values, norms, and policies within the organization. [22] [35] argues that every organization has a unique construction of reality, which reflects their perspective and understanding of the social reality they face. This construction of reality plays an important role, at least as researchers see in Payangan, in shaping the behavior and policies adopted by organizations in interacting with their surrounding environment.…”

Marine tourism management is not just a matter of governance per se, institutional factors also seem to have an influence, especially in traditional marine tourism management, such as in Payangan. To understand the relationship between governance and institutions in marine tourism management in Payangan, this study aims to analyze the problems in governance and institutions in Payangan, as well as to develop a conceptual model design. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with the Soft System Methodology (SSM) approach as a systemic approach to solve complex governance and institutional problems in Payangan through a series of stages. The research results indicate that the dominant problem situation in Payangan is not in its governance, but rather in its institutions, particularly in accommodating the values of the local community that have long been neglected, as they are monopolized by certain small community groups and elements of the Sumberejo Village Government who are only seeking economic gain. The monopolies of certain parties have caused the governance and institutionalization of marine tourism in Payangan to not function properly, requiring a new conceptual model of governance and institutions based on the construction of reality, social networks, and path-dependent development within the realm of the science of administration, or New Institutional Administrations (NIA), as a development and critique of the first-level institution or embeddedness proposed by Williamson, which has economic dimensions or New Institutional Economics (NIE).

“…The NPS paradigm emphasizes the importance of the involvement of many actors in the administration of public affairs, and public interests must be formulated and implemented by all actors, including the state, business and civil society. This concept is also known as the governance paradigm, where partnerships and networks between various stakeholders are considered important in the administration of public affairs (Caballero & Soto-Oñate, 2016) .…”

Background: The emergence of the New Public Service (NPS) paradigm was a response to shifts in public administration, with an emphasis on democratic values, community participation, and services oriented towards the public interest. Within the Jember Regency Population and Civil Registration Service, challenges in serving the public are evident, highlighting the necessity for a transformation towards NPS-based services. Theoretical Foundation: The NPS paradigm places a strong emphasis on community participation in decision-making and policy implementation, diverging from the NPM approach, which prioritizes business aspects. Key principles of the NPS encompass service to citizens, participatory processes, transparency, and prioritization of the public interest. Method: This research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore individual experiences concerning public services within the context of the Jember Regency Population and Civil Registration Service. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation, with analysis utilizing the Miles and Huberman method. Research Results: The transition from the NPM to the NPS paradigm spanned over 12 years, involving changes in policies, organizational culture, and the attitudes of public servants. Despite the innovations in service development, comprehensive evaluation is necessary to ascertain adherence to NPS principles. Research Implications: This research offers a comprehensive insight into the transformation of public services at the regional level through the lens of the NPS paradigm. The Jember Regency Population and Civil Registration Service demonstrates a commitment to providing more effective, efficient, and responsive services. Research Originality: This research addresses a notable gap in previous studies by concentrating on citizen-powered service innovation at the Jember Regency Population and Civil Registration Service, within the framework of the NPS paradigm. Consequently, this study provides a novel contribution to the comprehension of public service transformation at the local level.
