“…Development, as a comprehensive philosophy and practice, has many meanings. Development is a complex process that aims to reduce inequality and eliminate extreme poverty by modifying social structures (Mulili, 2020), institutions (Soberón, 2020), economic strategies and societal attitudes (Ruiz-Blanco, 2022;Taylor, 2016). Vanorman (2020) views development as a colonial state that effectively and sustainably meets the population's needs by comparably using natural resources and systems.…”

Sustainable development and the blue-green economy are intimately linked and collaborate. Like other nations, Indonesia follows Blue-Green economic principles to reach the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study intends to investigate Indonesia's capacity and challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through implementing the Blue-Green economic concept and suggest solutions to address these barriers. Indonesia has adopted a substantial approach to attain sustainable development objectives by implementing a blue-green economic policy. This is primarily due to the country's status as a growing archipelago with a heightened susceptibility to natural disasters that affect all facets of society, the economy, and advancement. Indonesia is crucial in the global geopolitical scene because of its plentiful, untapped maritime resources. Implementing the Blue Economy in Indonesia offers a great chance to accomplish the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Prior studies focused solely on the blue or green economy and strategies for attaining sustainable development goals in Indonesia. This research is innovative as it integrates the blue-green economic idea. The study discovered that obstacles can be surmounted by implementing solutions to address legislative, governance, legal, and economic challenges. Efficiently developing the public sector is crucial. This involves applying technology advancements, managing information effectively, coordinating with stakeholders, seeking international collaborations, and adopting global best practices. It aims to determine how sustainable development indicators, specifically in Indonesia, impact economic growth indicators such as gross domestic product. Time series analysis is utilized to depict the relationship between variables. The ARDL model research shows a long-term equilibrium relationship between different measures of sustainable development and economic growth in Indonesia. Indicators of sustainable development have been seen to influence economic growth in Iraq. The analysis demonstrates that sustainable development has fueled economic growth in Indonesia from 2014 to 2024.

This research report is a case study of women’s participation in community-based armed groups (CBAGs) in Kenya. It examines: the diversity of women’s motivations to participate in community-based armed groups in Kenya; women’s roles and agency within community-based armed groups, communal conflicts, as well as community security and peacebuilding structures; and gender dynamics in conflict ecosystems, including social perceptions about women’s engagement in conflict. This case study contributes to the literature on women and CBAGs by examining the variations in their engagement across a single country, based on diverse local contexts. Data collection sites for the study included 1) the capital city, Nairobi; 2) Isiolo County; 3) Marsabit County; 4) Mombasa County; and 5) Bungoma County. Together, these sites provide insight into local conflict dynamics in rural and urban areas; on country borders and on the coast; and in communities with ethnic polarization, land conflicts, criminal gangs, and histories of violent extremism and secessionist movements. The Kenyan research team employed a qualitative approach to data collection through key informant interviews (KIIs), focus group discussions (FGDs), and the use of secondary source data. The findings show that there is no single template for understanding women’s engagement with CBAGs; instead, women’s motivations and roles within these groups are varied and highly contextual, just as with the motivations and roles of men. This study demonstrates the utility of context-specific analyses at the sub-national level to capture the range of women’s participation in and engagement with CBAGs and their greater contributions to the local security landscape.
