The uneven distribution of superior human resources, which alienates some communities and contributes to the issue of business management literacy in SMEs, is one of the obstacles to community development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of community empowerment through literacy-based entrepreneurship management training. With a sample of 98 participants, this study use participatory action research (PAR). To select training participants, sampling method is purposive sampling with the criteria used: (1) Indonesian Manpower (TKI) who no longer work abroad; (2) Existing micro or small business owners; and (3) Trainees who have been mentored for at least one year. Methods of question and answer, observation, or questionnaires are used to obtain the data including focus group discussion (FGD), in-depth interviews, and strategies for exchanging stories, and pretest and post-test; behavioral analysis and participatory assessment analysis using percentages and likert scales; and data analysis of training success. This study is new because it explores specifically how to organize, execute, and value manufacturing innovation, inventive marketing, financial management, administrative control, financial reporting, teamwork, and business networking. It was determined that this training is helpful in increasing participants' awareness to fall into the very good category and increasing their knowledge and abilities. This finding is consistent with the notion of resource mobilization in support of human empowerment and human resource development theory, which argues that training is a process of improvement to deal with dynamic change. Government organizations can use this information to improve training programs to increase community engagement.

“…Formal democracy has two interpretations, namely normative democracy and empirical democracy. Normatively, democracy is understood as a norm implemented by a state in running its government, while empirically, democracy is understood as a consistent social standard to be applied in people's lives (MacEwen & Evensen, 2021). Democracy in the Indonesian context is carried out as a way of life of society based on Pancasila (Gumbira & Wiwoho, 2019).…”

Democracy is a system where the government should prioritize the people’s aspiration in implementing the policies because the people are a source of the power itself. A good Election system is a key of a good democracy system. This article is a research result of the citizenship validation in a government election. In fact, the citizenship validation mechanism is still not available in Indonesia as some violation cases happened during the Regent Election 2020 in Sabu Raijua. This research uses qualitative method and reference study analysist approach to deeply analyze the implementation of the citizenship validation during the general election in Indonesia. In addition, the theory of system and the concept of the democracy will be also used as an analysist so that it can give some descriptions and considerations to improve the quality of the next general election in Indonesia. The citizenship validation process also can be applied in other government administration affairs to support a better democracy implementation in the future.

“…A number of scholars recognize a preponderance of gender inequities in resource use (such as water and energy) that have important socioeconomic ramifications (see Hannah et al, 2021; MacEwen and Evensen, 2021). Studies of leadership and representation increasingly examine the role of gender quotas (Bauer, 2016).…”

“…A feminist political ecological approach most importantly bridges critical theoretical perspectives and relevant literature around gender, participation and resource use and decision-making power addressed in this section. Thus, perspectives from scholars such as MacEwen & Evenen's (2021, p. 1) who deconstruct relational aspects of energy democracy and representation illustrate how women's empowerment contributed to the democratization of energy structures in Kenya, while acknowledging that the adoption of a feminist political ecological lens is key to energy democracy amidst cultural norm influence. As they poignantly note, the latter is unable to thrive if at the very outset, there is little effort to inculcate a framework that speaks to the dynamics of differentiated environmental consequences when women's voices are marginal.…”

The heightened prospect of a “rising Africa” stems from multiple developments across the continent. Technological innovation, economic empowerment, increasing female leadership, and more continue to raise the fortunes of African countries. As regional economic communities engage with Agenda 2063, an ambitious endeavor to support and sustain economic development, a gendering environment is pivotal to any ensuing progress. Using the case studies of two regional organizations, our research examines the pace of political representation of women in relevant environmental committees in the Economic Community of West African States and the East African Community. In an epoch where women constitute half of the continent, the case for female representation to combat ecological challenges propelled by the securitization of environmental issues is paramount.
