Abstract and Figures

This study aims to determine the involvement of local government in participatory development through the Participatory Development Monitoring System Application (SIMPOR) in East Belitung Regency. The local government in this case is the OPD and the village government within the East Belitung Regency Government. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were obtained through interviews and literature study where the interview results were analyzed using Nvivo 12Plus software through the crosstab query feature. The results of the study show that: 1) the creation of the Simpor Application as a participatory development monitoring medium in East Belitung Regency has fulfilled the basics of developing government digitization; 2) the involvement of the village government in the Simpor Application, namely as community representatives who monitor and report development progress, especially by the village simpor admin; 3) the leading sector (Ekbang) as a third party acts as a verifier that bridges the village government with the OPD; 4) each OPD inputs information related to the development package and responses related to monitoring carried out by the village government into the Simpor application. The conclusion is that there is local government involvement in participatory development through the Simpor Application as an e-monev medium for physical development in the form of two-way monitoring that occurs in the monitoring process on the Simpor Application. In addition, there are several obstacles encountered in the implementation process of the Simpor Application, namely: 1) the development of the Simpor Application is still slow; and 2) the implementing human resources are still limited. Suggestions for the government of East Belitung Regency to expand involvement in the Simpor Application include: 1) the leading sector, in this case through the village government, it is better to start providing education or introduction of the Simpor Application to the community gradually; 2) the leading sector should recruit special human resources who have basic IT to develop Simpor Applications so that the performance provided is more optimal; and 3) the leading sector should increase the human resources of operators in charge of verification.
Participation Analysis on the Simpor Application Source: Primary Data (Nvivo 12Plus) The graph above shows the results of interviews with the Government of Kurnia Jaya Village, Simpang Pesak Village, Dukong Village, Mayang Village, Gantung Village, Aik Kelik Village, Selinsing Village, Lalang Village, Bentaian Jaya Village, and Dendang Village. The results of the interview analysis through the Nvivo 12Plus crosstab analysis above show the intensity of each community and village government involvement in monitoring development through the Simpor Application. Based on the graph above, the involvement that dominates in monitoring development through the Simpor Application is the involvement of the village government, which is >80%. Meanwhile, community involvement in monitoring through the Simpor Application is only 18%. The intensity of the two has a very large comparison. To increase participatory development, village governments must be able to act as dynamists, catalysts, and pioneers of development in order to gain participation from the community (Putri, 2022). Previous research revealed that the village head was considered to have played a sufficient role in coordinating participatory development in his area so as to provide effectiveness in the implementation of development (Amane, 2017; Prananda, 2019). The involvement of the village government in the Simpor Application is that the village government (Admin Simpor) goes directly to monitoring/supervising development in the village, taking photos of activities, and filling out monitoring reports in the Simpor Application. The village government

Village Monitoring Page Display on the Simpor Application Source: Secondary Data (Simpor Application) In contrast to the involvement of the village government, community involvement in the Simpor Application is still very minimal. Of the 10 villages interviewed, only Mayang Village and Gantung Village whose communities have participated in providing reports to the village government regarding development progress to be submitted in the Simpor Application. In Mayang Village, in 2021 to be exact, there was a farm road construction project. In this case, the community (especially farmer groups) have been involved in the process of monitoring development progress, and they also provide a report on the results of the supervision to the Simpor admin to be used as monitoring report material in the Simpor Application. As in Mayang Village, the people in Gantung Village have shown their participation in the implementation of the Simpor Application. The community submits a report to the village, then the operator (admin) checks every month the development process to be reported in the Simpor Application. As for other participations that can be provided by the community in development, it is shown by public awareness in land acquisition for the construction of road infrastructure, self-help donations in the form of labor and materials, as well as support and willingness from the community to participate in development (Putra, 2019). In addition, there is voluntary community participation in the form of data collection, reporting, assistance and verification of benefits, as well as feedback on project success (Kabonga, 2020). The lack of existing community participation is because the Simpor application is relatively new and is currently still in the process of further development, therefore this application has not been introduced in general to the public, resulting in a lack of information about participation opportunities (Chouinard & Cousins, 2013; Jekabsone, 2019).

ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the involvement of local government in
participatory development through the Participatory Development
Monitoring System Application (SIMPOR) in East Belitung Regency.
The local government in this case is the OPD and the village
government within the East Belitung Regency Government. This study
uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were
obtained through interviews and literature study where the interview
results were analyzed using Nvivo 12Plus software through the crosstab
query feature. The results of the study show that: 1) the creation of the
Simpor Application as a participatory development monitoring medium
in East Belitung Regency has fulfilled the basics of developing
government digitization; 2) the involvement of the village government
in the Simpor Application, namely as community representatives who
monitor and report development progress, especially by the village
simpor admin; 3) the leading sector (Ekbang) as a third party acts as a
verifier that bridges the village government with the OPD; 4) each OPD
inputs information related to the development package and responses
related to monitoring carried out by the village government into the
Simpor application. The conclusion is that there is local government
involvement in participatory development through the Simpor
Application as an e-monev medium for physical development in the form
of two-way monitoring that occurs in the monitoring process on the
Simpor Application. In addition, there are several obstacles
encountered in the implementation process of the Simpor Application,
namely: 1) the development of the Simpor Application is still slow; and
2) the implementing human resources are still limited. Suggestions for
the government of East Belitung Regency to expand involvement in the
Simpor Application include: 1) the leading sector, in this case through
the village government, it is better to start providing education or
introduction of the Simpor Application to the community gradually; 2)
the leading sector should recruit special human resources who have
basic IT to develop Simpor Applications so that the performance
provided is more optimal; and 3) the leading sector should increase the
human resources of operators in charge of verification.

Introduction
This study aims to determine how the involvement of the local government in
participatory development through the Participatory Development Monitoring System
Application (SIMPORT) in East Belitung Regency. The local government in this case is the
OPD and the village government within the East Belitung Regency Government. Based on the
data discrepancy in the number of procurement of construction/physical development packages
in East Belitung Regency in the past four years, namely 2018-2021, during which time the
number of procurement of construction/physical packages experienced a significant
fluctuation.
Source: (LPSE Kabupaten Belitung Timur, 2021)
This inequality indicates that the absorption of the budget for construction/physical
development in East Belitung Regency has decreased. This shows that it is very important to
monitor, report, and evaluate to increase the absorption capacity of the budget for physical
development in East Belitung Regency, so that the inequality that occurs can be overcome. In
order to help the supervision process to be more effective, in 2021 the East Belitung Regency
Government will innovate in the form of a monitoring and evaluation system for electronic
construction/physical development (e-monev). E-monev gives some urgency to the physical
construction monitoring process. An effective e-monev system will have a good impact on
development growth as evidenced by the increase in the results of the evaluation of SAKIP,
the level of achievement of the development program success, the percentage of legal products
completed, as well as an increase in the average budget absorption (Seyselis & Pradana, 2021).
Several previous studies have revealed that in supervising rural infrastructure
development, e-monitoring can provide information ranging from information on disbursement
of stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 funds; information on sub-district and village activity reports;
until the realization of work from the predetermined work targets (Afriansyah et al., 2015).
Apart from being carried out electronically, monitoring of physical development can also be
facilitated by involving community participation. Community participation is needed to

maintain the course of development activities so that they are in accordance with what has been
planned, as well as community assessments can be used as evaluation material to find out
deviations and problems that occur during the development process (Hardianti et al., 2017). In
carrying out the supervision of construction/physical development carried out in each village,
the East Belitung Regency Government is facilitated by an application-based innovation called
the Participatory Development Monitoring System Application (Simpor) (Perbup Belitung
Timur No.26 Tahun 2021).
The Simpor application is an innovation that was created specifically as an instrument
for monitoring physical development in East Belitung Regency by involving the community
as observers (Ahmad, 2021; Kabupaten Belitung Timur, 2021). Community involvement in
the Simpor Application is currently still represented by the village government, therefore
participation occurs in the form of village government involvement in the use of the Simpor
Application. The Simpor application is a product of one of the East Belitung Regency
Government programs, namely the Bangkit Berdaya Online Program (a program to change the
classic monitoring system into online monitoring), where 'Bangkit Berdaya' is the vision of the
East Belitung Regency itself (Kabupaten Belitung Timur, 2021). That's what became the
author's interest in conducting this research. Based on the above background, this study
examines how the implementation of the Participatory Development Monitoring System
Application (SIMPOR) as an e-monev media in East Belitung Regency, and examines whether
participatory development in East Belitung Regency through e-monev has increased.
In this study, the subject of study is participatory development by the local government
on e-monev media for physical development in East Belitung Regency. E-monev is one of the
development monitoring, evaluation and control instruments used to collect monitoring data
and information (PEPP) (Seyselis & Pradana, 2021). In order to create an electronic
monitoring and evaluation application, it cannot be separated from the indicators for the
development of the concept of government digitization, in which the indicators are described
as follows: 1) Support, in the form of support from local public officials where this indicator is
the most important indicator for the concept of digitization. governance is workable; 2)
Capacity, in the form of the resources needed to carry out the development and development
of government digitalization to realize the concepts that have been created; 3) Value, in the
form of benefits obtained by the government as a service provider and the community as a
service recipient (Indrajit, 2002).
The next concept, namely, participatory development is a development management
system that involves the people directly or indirectly and places the community not only as an
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
273
object but also as a subject of development (Maripah, 2017). Basically, there are 3 principles
in participatory development, namely: 1) Involving community members in the development
process, starting from planning, implementation, to accountability; 2) Every policy decision
making is known, open, and accessible to the public; and 3) Each stage can be accounted for
to the citizens both administratively, managerially and socially (Timur, 2020). Therefore, in
examining the variables of participatory development, the authors use 3 measurement
indicators consisting of involvement, ease of access, and accountability.
The e-monev system facilitates the monitoring process in development and assists
government employees in carrying out their work, one of which is monitoring regional
expenditures (Ramadhani & Nasrah, 2019; Romdon, 2020) which is evidenced by the results
of the evaluation of SAKIP, the level of achievement of the success of the development
program, the percentage of legal products that have been completed, and the average increase
in budget absorption (Seyselis & Pradana, 2021). The successful implementation of e-Monev
cannot be separated from several things that are the driving force of the implementation process
so that a successful implementation will provide services to the community in a transparent,
controlled, and accountable manner (Asri & Widianto, 2019; Basri et al., 2020; Toidin et al.,
2017). Complementing previous research, the electronic monitoring system can also process
the results of monitoring the disbursement of funds, reports on sub-district and village
activities, the realization of the specified work targets, as well as information on the
disbursement of stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 funds (Afriansyah et al., 2015). Community
participation in development supervision plays a very important role in providing assessments
for development evaluation materials (Hardianti et al., 2017).
One of the previous studies related to the role of local government in participatory
development, explained that the local government (in this case the village head) in Bukit
Pedusunan Village, Kuatan Singingi Regency (Prananda, 2019) considered to be quite
instrumental in coordinating participatory development in the region. Not only that, the
authority of the village head also provides effectiveness in the implementation of participatory
development in Baholang Village, Taliabu Island Regency (Amane, 2017). Another
involvement that is formed in participatory development is the role given by the Village
Community Empowerment Cadre (KPMD), they play a role in assisting the village government
in planning, implementing, maintaining, preserving, and evaluating village development which
at the same time moves the community to participate in development (Irfan et al., 2020). Not
only local government and community institutions, the community itself also plays a role in
participatory development. As happened in Pendingin Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency,
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
274
community participation in development is shown by public awareness in land acquisition for
road infrastructure development, self-help donations in the form of labor and materials, as well
as support and willingness from the community to participate in development (Putra, 2019). In
contrast to the participatory development that took place in South Tangerang City through the
Tangsel Youth Planner Program, this program plays an important role in facilitating local
community participation by accommodating community involvement that emphasizes the
physical development aspect in South Tengerang City (Novian & Machdum, 2020). It is
different with what happened in East Kutai Regency, where in physical development in Telaga
Village there is a role for Community Empowerment Institutions (LPM) in conveying the
development plan program agenda and mobilizing community participation in Telaga Village
(Fratama, 2021).
Based on the results of the bibliometric analysis of several previous studies related to
involvement in participatory development using Vosviewer, the density of studies contained in
Google Schoolar is described as follows.

The density of studies of several previous studies related to involvement in participatory
development at Google Scholar consists of 3 study clusters. The following is a description of
the grouping of previous studies contained in Google Scholar.

Based on the 3 clusters of the results of the bibliometric analysis of several previous
studies, there are several topics related to the research conducted. Previous research topics
related to this research are participatory development, village heads, physical development, and
infrastructure development. From some of the study topics above, there have been discussions
about the involvement of local government (in this case the village head). However, the context
is still in the participation, development, and musrenbang clusters. In the context of
participatory development and physical development, there is only the involvement of
Community Empowerment Institutions. This then provides space for this research to examine
the involvement of local governments in participatory development in physical development
monitoring applications. Therefore, this research is a renewal in the study of local government
involvement in participatory development.
Method
This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. According to Hamdi
et al., (2020), qualitative research is research that involves a number of empirical evidence/field
data that describes natural and problematic events as well as the meaning of each human's life.
The author conducted research with data collection techniques obtained through interviews and
literature study (Sugiyono, 2015). Interviews were conducted with the creator of the Simpor
Application who also serves as Head of the Economic, Development and Natural Resources
(Ekbang) Section of the Regional Secretariat of East Belitung Regency; Head of Planning
Subdivision of Bappelitbangda East Belitung Regency; and 10 Simpor Desa Admins (Kurnia
Jaya, Dukong, Simpang Pesak, Mayang, Gantung, Aik Kelik, Selinsing, Lalang, Bentaian Jaya,
and Dendang) who are included in the list of Simpor Application users, in which the sources
are determined using the purposive sampling method. In this study, what was investigated was
the involvement of local governments (OPD and village governments) in participatory
development through the Simpor Application, which was obtained through interviews with
resource persons. In addition, this study also investigates further regarding the maturity of the
Simpor Application innovation as an e-monev medium for physical development in East
Belitung Regency. In the data collection process, the first is to conduct interviews with resource
persons to determine the maturity of the Simpor application as an e-monev media in East
Beltung Regency. The second is to conduct interviews with resource persons to find out the
involvement of local governments (OPD and village governments) in participatory
development through the Simpor Application. After the primary data has been collected, it is
then continued with secondary data collection in the form of documents, reports, regulations,
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
276
Simpor Application visualization, previous research, and relevant news articles. The findings
were analyzed using an interactive model (Miles et al., 2014) where the data acquisition is then
reduced, the data that is really needed is selected. The selected data was then analyzed using
NVivo 12Plus software through the crosstab query feature. The results of the analysis of the
Nivo 12Plus software are presented in the form of a crosstab analysist, project mapping, tables,
and images. After all the data is presented, conclusions are drawn from the results obtained
which this stage is the final part of the data analysis process in this study.
Results and Discussion
The results of this study first introduced the Simpor Application as a monitoring
medium for participatory physical development in East Belitung Regency. The discussion data
regarding the introduction of the Simpor Application was obtained through in-depth interviews
with the creator of the Simpor Application (Head of the Economic, Development and Natural
Resources (Ekbang) Section of the Regional Secretariat of East Belitung Regency) and one of
the East Belitung Regency government employees who had operated the Simpor Application
(Head of the Planning Subdivision). Bappelitbangda, East Belitung Regency), which then
analyzed the results of interviews using the NVivo 12Plus software and supported by secondary
data. Furthermore, this study explains the involvement of local government (OPD and village
government) in participatory development through the Simpor Application as an e-monev
medium for physical development in East Belitung Regency using 3 assessment indicators.
Data to answer the problem of local government involvement was obtained through interviews
with 10 Simpor Desa admins in East Belitung Regency (Kurnia Jaya, Dukong, Simpang Pesak,
Mayang, Gantung, Aik Kelik, Selinsing, Lalang, Bentaian Jaya, and Dendang) whose interview
results were also analyzed using NVivo 12 Plus software and supported by secondary data.
Based on the overall results and discussion, then followed by solutions that can be done to
overcome the obstacles in the implementation of the Simpor Application as an e-monev media.
A. Simpor Application as Monitoring Media for Participatory Physical Development in
East Belitung Regency
The Simpor application is one form of e-government implementation in East
Belitung Regency. The Simpor application was created to involve community participation
in supervising construction/physical development, where community participation in this
case is represented by the village government. In its development, the Simpor Application
has indicators that must be considered as a form of government digitization. The indicators
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
277
in question consist of local official support (support), resource readiness (capacity), and
benefits (value) (Indrajit, 2002). The emergence of the Simpor Application as an e-monev
media, based on the findings which were then analyzed using the Nvivo 12Plus software,
showed the following results:
Figure 2. Analysis of E-Monev Indicators on the Simpor Application
Source: Primary Data (Nvivo 12Plus)
Based on the crosstab analysis, the e-monev indicator on the Simpor Application
related to participatory development has two dominant indicators. The indicators are
resources and benefits, both of which are 41% each. While one other indicator, namely
support, only has an intensity of 17%. In the resource indicator, there are 3 measures used
to assess the readiness of the Simpor Application resources, namely: 1) the required cost; 2)
the need for information technology infrastructure; and 3) the need for skills that must be
possessed by the user. The findings show that there are no special costs used in the creation
of the Simpor Application. This is because the creation of the Simpor Application is one of
the requirements for participating in PKP (Leadership Supervision) training which does not
charge any fees. Furthermore, to run the Simpor Application, users can use their mobile
phone via the address simpor.beltim.go.id because this application cannot be accessed by
mobile for download via the Playstore. In using the Simpor application, users only need
skills in using mobile phones, especially the ability to take photos which will be needed for
monitoring.
In order to fulfill the resources for the Simpor Application, there are 2 obstacles
faced by the East Belitung Regency Government, namely:
1. Simpor Application Development is still slow. The menu contained in the Simpor
Application is still very simple. However, in order to carry out the development, one
must first wait for the readiness of the East Belitung Regency Diskominfo to add features
to the Simpor Application.
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
278
2. Implementing human resources are still limited. The obstacle faced is the limited number
of human resources who carry out verification in the Leading sector of Ekbang, which is
only carried out by 1 person.
The constraints described are related to the limited human resources owned by the
government in using the Simpor Application. This is unavoidable considering that human
resources are one of the measures to assess the readiness of e-government development, not
least in the digitalization of the development monitoring system (e-monev) (Warinda, 2019).
To maintain and develop e-government, at least four types of human resources in the IT
field are needed, which consist of: system analyst, senior programmer, junior programmer,
and operator (Mariah, 2017). The lack of human resource capacity with the four criteria
above, makes East Belitung Regency have obstacles in developing Simpor Applications and
verifiers in the leading sector. Not only the capacity of human resources, the government
must also pay attention to several environmental factors to achieve the efficiency of e-
government development (Nam et al., 2022). Therefore, in fulfilling the efficiency of
government digitization, the East Belitung Regency Government needs more effort so that
the implementation of the Simpor Application can be maximized and is able to develop as
it should.
The next discussion, namely the indicator of benefits provided by the Simpor
Application shows the analysis result of 41%. It is related to the results of previous studies
that explain the benefits of the e-monev system, in which e-monev provides several benefits
including (Ramadhani & Nasrah, 2019; Romdon, 2020): 1) Make it easier for government
employees in controlling, monitoring, and evaluating regional budgets in real terms for each
OPD; 2) Provide fast and good service to the community as a provider of goods/services;
and 3) Can provide the desired information. In its use, the Simpor Application provides
several tangible benefits for the East Belitung Regency Government. Based on the existing
findings, there are several benefits that are felt from the government's perspective with the
Simpor Application as an e-monev media, namely: a) Simpor application as a medium for
delivering information; b) Simpor application can carry out monitoring in two directions
(correlation between OPD and village government and direct involvement of regional heads
in the application); and c) Simpor application makes the monitoring process easier and more
efficient.
Looking at the comparison between the results of previous studies and this research,
both of them explain that e-monev provides benefits as a medium for conveying information
and facilitating the government monitoring process. However, the Simpor Application has
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
279
an additional benefit, namely the Simpor Application that facilitates two-way development
monitoring and also direct involvement of regional heads in the application. This proves
that the Simpor application provides new benefits as an e-monev media for the government
in carrying out development monitoring. So that the monitoring and evaluation system
created aims to increase transparency, strengthen accountability, build a culture of
government performance, support policy making and decision making, improve budget
management in order to strengthen governance, and reduce violations committed by
development implementers (Dünkel, 2018; Warinda, 2019).
Different from the two indicators that have been described, the intensity of support
for the Simpor Application is only 17%. This support is in the form of the stipulation of the
East Belitung Regency Regent Regulation No. 26 of 2021 concerning Technical Instructions
for Control and Evaluation of Regional Development Programs/Activities as a guarantor for
the continued use of this application. Not only getting support from the regulatory side, the
Simpor Application also gets support from the psychological side and from the side of
utilizing the output of the Simpor Application itself. Other support provided is from OPD
within the East Belitung Regency Government in the form of OPD participation in inputting
data and information into the Simpor Application.
In this study, a comparison of the intensity of each indicator from the sources is also
shown.

The graph above shows the results of the analysis of interviews with resource
persons, in which the results of the interviews include the relationships studied, namely
between the Simpor Application and participatory development. Based on the results of the
analysis above, the greatest intensity in the interview is the resource which approaches the
figure of 40%. This is followed by involvement with an intensity of more than 20%. Then
support is more than 15%, ease of access is 10%, accountability is 5%, and at least the

intensity of benefits is less than 5%. Resource indicators occupy the largest number in the
findings of this study because in resource indicators there are 3 resource criteria that must
be met by the government for e-government development. This has an impact on the
findings obtained, resources dominate when compared to other indicators. Therefore, the
results of the data analysis above show that the resource indicator has the greatest intensity
in this study. It is also different from the benefit indicator which has the lowest intensity in
this study. This is because the Simpor application has not been directly accessed by the
public. Therefore, the findings about the benefits of the Simpor Application are only seen
from the government's perspective.

Furthermore, the graph above also shows the results of the analysis of interviews
with informants. However, the results of the interviews above only cover participatory
development studies. The results of the analysis show that accountability has an almost
comprehensive intensity, reaching 100%. As a result of this, the other two indicators,
namely ease of access and involvement, have very low intensity, or even none. This will be
explained in more detail in the following discussion. Looking at the comparison of interview
analysis above, although there is a comparison of intensity, the studies being studied are
heading in the same direction, namely participatory development. Therefore, it can be seen
the relationship between e-monev (Simpor Application) and participatory development.

The project map above shows that the Simpor Application as an e-monev that
involves participation leads to one goal, namely participatory development. This is in
accordance with the design benefits of the Simpor Application contained in the “Laporan

B. Participatory Development by Local Government through Simpor Application in
East Belitung Regency
Participation in development supervision is an interest in achieving government
stability. Participation encourages critical thinking about the surrounding environment
which will later be used in development initiatives so that there is an increase in the
effectiveness and cost efficiency of development programs (Mohan, 2014; Reeves, 2015).
Participatory development through the Simpor Application resulted in findings related to
the indicators studied. The findings in the field show the following results:

Figure 6. Analysis of Participatory Development Indicators
Source: Primary Data (Nvivo 12Plus)
The results of the analysis show that the dominant indicator related to the
participatory development variable is involvement with an intensity of 44%. The second
highest intensity is 33% accountability. Finally, the intensity of ease of access is 22%. In
fact, the Simpor Application involves the participation of several stakeholders consisting of
the Leading sectors, namely the Economic, Development and Natural Resources Section
(Ekbang) of the Regional Secretariat of East Belitung Regency; Village government; OPD;
and Regional Head. In this case, each village carries out monitoring on behalf of the
community as Simpor Admin as well as development agents who will convey how to deliver
information through the Simpor Application to monitor development. The data and
information referred to include the implementation of the work, contract number, contract
date, name of provider, financial realization, as well as responses to monitoring results from
the village government and from the Ekbang itself. Each OPD within the East Belitung
Regency Government is made a Simpor Application account for reporting data and
information relating to the implementation of work. The following is a list of the number of
Simpor Application users from each OPD.

Due to the lack of direct access from the community to the Simpor application and
the community is still represented by the village government, the authors conducted
interviews with several sources from the village government to find out the involvement
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
283
that occurred in the use of the Simpor application as a participatory development monitoring
medium. The resource person in question is the Simpor admin from several villages that are
included in the Simpor Application user list. The results of interviews with Simpor admins
in several villages in East Belitung Regency, shown in the crosstab analysis are as follows.
Figure 7. Participation Analysis on the Simpor Application
Source: Primary Data (Nvivo 12Plus)
The graph above shows the results of interviews with the Government of Kurnia
Jaya Village, Simpang Pesak Village, Dukong Village, Mayang Village, Gantung Village,
Aik Kelik Village, Selinsing Village, Lalang Village, Bentaian Jaya Village, and Dendang
Village. The results of the interview analysis through the Nvivo 12Plus crosstab analysis
above show the intensity of each community and village government involvement in
monitoring development through the Simpor Application. Based on the graph above, the
involvement that dominates in monitoring development through the Simpor Application is
the involvement of the village government, which is >80%. Meanwhile, community
involvement in monitoring through the Simpor Application is only 18%. The intensity of
the two has a very large comparison. To increase participatory development, village
governments must be able to act as dynamists, catalysts, and pioneers of development in
order to gain participation from the community (Putri, 2022). Previous research revealed
that the village head was considered to have played a sufficient role in coordinating
participatory development in his area so as to provide effectiveness in the implementation
of development (Amane, 2017; Prananda, 2019). The involvement of the village
government in the Simpor Application is that the village government (Admin Simpor) goes
directly to monitoring/supervising development in the village, taking photos of activities,
and filling out monitoring reports in the Simpor Application. The village government
monitors the progress of development from 0% to 100% and reports are submitted at the
beginning of each month a maximum of the 5th. In the submission of monitoring reports,
documentation of ongoing development progress is also followed. The following is an
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
284
example of a monitoring report conducted by the village government in East Belitung
Regency.
Figure 8. Village Monitoring Page Display on the Simpor Application
Source: Secondary Data (Simpor Application)
In contrast to the involvement of the village government, community involvement
in the Simpor Application is still very minimal. Of the 10 villages interviewed, only Mayang
Village and Gantung Village whose communities have participated in providing reports to
the village government regarding development progress to be submitted in the Simpor
Application. In Mayang Village, in 2021 to be exact, there was a farm road construction
project. In this case, the community (especially farmer groups) have been involved in the
process of monitoring development progress, and they also provide a report on the results
of the supervision to the Simpor admin to be used as monitoring report material in the
Simpor Application. As in Mayang Village, the people in Gantung Village have shown their
participation in the implementation of the Simpor Application. The community submits a
report to the village, then the operator (admin) checks every month the development process
to be reported in the Simpor Application. As for other participations that can be provided
by the community in development, it is shown by public awareness in land acquisition for
the construction of road infrastructure, self-help donations in the form of labor and
materials, as well as support and willingness from the community to participate in
development (Putra, 2019). In addition, there is voluntary community participation in the
form of data collection, reporting, assistance and verification of benefits, as well as feedback
on project success (Kabonga, 2020). The lack of existing community participation is
because the Simpor application is relatively new and is currently still in the process of
further development, therefore this application has not been introduced in general to the
public, resulting in a lack of information about participation opportunities (Chouinard &
Cousins, 2013; Jekabsone, 2019).
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
285
Turning from community participation, there are other forms of participation in
monitoring development through the Simpor Application in the form of coordination
between the OPD, the Leading Sector (Ekbang), and the village government in monitoring
development in two directions. In addition, the participation formed is in the form of the
involvement of regional heads in directly monitoring development developments in the
Simpor Application. This coordination between SKPD is one of the factors that affect the
level of participation in participatory development (Abadi et al., 2014). Akanbang &
Abdallah, (2021) also stated that core government staff (stakeholders) are the main actors
involved in monitoring, where stakeholders have access to information to assess the
achievement of the objectives of a development project (Gxabuza & Nzewi, 2021). In
carrying out development monitoring, the monitoring report from the village government
can be responded to by the OPD by involving the Leading Sector (Ekbang) who assists the
verification process so that there is a two-way monitoring process which is one of the
benefits of the Simpor Application. The correlation of stakeholders is then used as a form
of participatory evaluation monitoring capacity building that affects the sustainability of a
development project (Rogito et al., 2020). This is the advantage of the Simpor Application
that the OPD can provide feedback on the results of monitoring carried out by the village
government. The following is an overview of the two-way monitoring process on the Simpor
Application.
Figure 9. 2-way Monitoring on the Simpor App

The Simpor application also has drawbacks, namely that the community is still not
directly involved in using the application. The Simpor application has not been widely
disseminated to the public, so access is still limited. Basically there are four kinds of
community participation in development, one of which is participation in evaluation. This
type of participation is related to the implementation of the development program as a
whole, with the aim of knowing the compatibility between the implementation of the
program and the established plan and to see deviations that occur in the implementation of
the development program (Lukman, 2017). In the case of the Simpor Application, the
existing participation is in the form of coordination between the village government, OPD,
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
286
and the Leading Sector in two directions in monitoring development. In previous research,
there are other forms of involvement in participatory development, namely the role given
by the Village Community Empowerment Cadre (KPMD) (Irfan et al., 2020). They play a
role in assisting the village government in planning, implementing, maintaining, preserving,
and evaluating village development which at the same time moves the community to
participate in development (Irfan et al., 2020). This is with what happened in East Kutai
Regency which explains that there is a role for Community Empowerment Institutions
(LPM) in physical development in the form of delivering the development plan program
agenda and mobilizing community participation in Telaga Village (Fratama, 2021).
Accountability of the information submitted, access to the Simpor Application, each
stakeholder has a different dashboard menu display. For the leading sector (Ekbang) the
menu on the dashboard consists of a work package menu (consisting of a syrup submenu)
and a monitoring menu (monitoring package; monitoring evaluation). Next, the OPD
dashboard which consists of a work package menu and a monitoring menu. For the village
government, the dashboard displayed consists of a menu. For the bupati, there is only one
menu, namely the monitoring menu, which consists of a monitoring report submenu.
Accountability of participatory monitoring and evaluation reports helps identify problems
that arise, so that the information provided helps stakeholders to take appropriate action
(Kananura et al., 2017). In order for the participatory development dimension to develop,
one of the efforts that must be made is the reform of the power structure (Arko, 2019) in
order to achieve reporting accountability in monitoring development. In each of the Simpor
Application submenus, there is some information displayed for monitoring development,
the details of which are described in the following table:

The implementation of regional development as a form of development of autonomy
must be able to create accountability to realize participatory development. According to
Prianto, (2018) there are 5 dimensions of accountability that must be created in the
development of autonomy, namely: policy accountability; budget execution is correct;
certainty of the law; efficiency value; and process accountability. Information on the SIRUP
submenu represents the dimensions of policy accountability and the dimensions of legal
certainty. The information on the monitoring package submenu represents the correct budget
execution dimension, which in this dimension displays detailed information about the RUP
ID; work package name; specification; the amount of the ceiling (Rp.); financial realization
(Rp.); remaining ceiling (Rp.); work unit code; name of work unit; location; up to the
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
288
number of packages. The information on the monitoring detail submenu represents the
dimensions of the efficiency and accountability of the process. The dimension of efficiency
value is indicated by information about the percentage of physical realization and the
percentage of financial realization. While the dimension of process accountability is
indicated by information about the project board; labor; photo; description; and indications
of problems. Based on the detailed information that has been displayed, the Simpor
Application has fulfilled the five dimensions of accountability in the implementation of
development (e-monev media) to realize participatory development.
Furthermore, to access the Import Application is categorized quite easily. In running
it, users only need a cellphone or laptop/PC. Then perform the following steps to start the
Simpor Application.
1. Open a web browser on your cellphone or laptop/PC.
2. Type the address simpor.beltim.go.id in the search field or the website address.
3. After the login page appears, enter your username and password. After that the Import
Application is ready to run.
Conclusion
From the research that has been done, the results obtained are: 1) the creation of the
Simpor Application as a monitoring medium for participatory development in East Belitung
Regency has fulfilled the basics of developing government digitization; 2) the involvement of
the village government in the Simpor Application, namely as community representatives who
monitor and report development progress, especially by the village simpor admin; 3) the
leading sector (Ekbang) as a third party acts as a verifier that bridges the village government
with the OPD; 4) each OPD inputs information related to the development package and
responses related to monitoring carried out by the village government into the Simpor
application. Therefore, it is concluded that there is local government involvement in
participatory development through the Simpor Application as an e-monev medium for physical
development in the form of two-way monitoring that occurs in the monitoring process on the
Simpor Application. In the development of the Simpor Application, there are also several
obstacles faced by the government, namely: 1) the development of the Simpor Application is
still slow; and 2) the implementing human resources are still limited. The suggestions for the
East Belitung Regency government to expand involvement in the Simpor Application are: 1)
leading sector, in this case through the village government, it is better to start providing
education or introduction of the Simpor Application to the community gradually; 2) the leading
Jurnal Aristo (Social, Politic, Humaniora) Vol. 10, No.2 (2022): January, pp. 269 - 292
289
sector should recruit special human resources who have basic IT to develop Simpor
Applications so that the performance provided is more optimal; and 3) the leading sector should
increase the human resources of operators in charge of verification.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) network readiness competency improves service quality and provides efficient service in implementing successful e-governments. By confirming ICT network readiness of e-governments, it must be redesigned using limited resources effectively to achieve realistic goals. When ICT investment and economic performance are featured, e-government’s network readiness competency improves potential demand, supply, and service maturity. It reflects information technology (IT) development competency on performance effectively. In this study, we propose the Data Envelope Analysis (DEA) method to present a method of improving ICT network readiness between countries. We derived the ICT network’s readiness competency level and strategic plan by comparing each country for efficient ICT operation of e-governments. If we make rankings in a non-traditional and efficient manner, it will become a successful strategy for ICT in the future. This effort provides guidance for each government and a solution for the growth delay problem, which is required for advancement in ICT investment and productivity. It also guides each government to overcome marginal products.

Ghana has pursued decentralisation since 1988, but its implementation continues to face challenges. Participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) is one of the tools that can help local governments to be more effective in the planning and management of development projects. However, the issues involved in implementing PM&E in rural local governments operating within a rapidly changing sociocultural and political environment have not been sufficiently explored. To fill this gap in knowledge, this paper draws on project and policy documents and primary data on the application of PM&E in District Assemblies’ Common Fund projects implemented between 2013 and 2017 in Ghana’s Lambussie District. Six key informant interviews were held with district- and regional-level stakeholders, and eight focus group discussions were undertaken at the community level. The research found that inadequate provision for operationalising PM&E at the local level, and lack of accountability and feedback mechanisms, resulted in a tokenistic approach to PM&E. The authors suggest that research and advocacy on mechanisms for holding district authorities accountable is vital to the success of future PM&E initiatives at local government level.

Background: This article outlines the role of cooperatives in local economic development (LED) within participatory monitoring and evaluation (PME) approach in the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality (BCMM), South Africa. The Department of Trade and Industry acknowledged the inadequacy of monitoring and evaluation (ME) of cooperatives. This lack of ME of cooperatives’ role in LED has also affected cooperatives in BCMM. Aim: The study sought to establish the contributory role of cooperatives in promoting LED outcomes and to determine the extent to which the PME was capable of capacitating cooperatives. Setting: The study is based in East London and the target population is primary cooperatives. Primary cooperatives are defined by Buffalo City Integrated Cooperative Development Strategy (ICDS) as cooperatives that have at least five members, with an aim of providing employment to members. Methods: The research design for the study is exploratory and inductive. The study adopted qualitative research approach that combines participatory action research (PAR) and PME. Two sets of data collection such as focus group interviews (FGIs) and e-mailed questionnaire (EQ) were used. Results: It was established that cooperatives have not yet achieved their contributory role of promoting LED, specifically in terms of job creation. Conclusion: Based on the findings it was recommended that capacity building and training with regard to ME should not focus on conventional ME, but rather on PME, where cooperatives become involved in the ME of their business.

Participatory development has become one of the main keys in development in accordance with what the community wants and needs. Community in participatory development is also a major highlight in the context of success in development. In participatory development in the City of South Tangerang, it is organized by the Tangsel Youth Planner (TYP) Program, which is the result of a collaboration between the South Tangerang City Development Planning Agency and the local community, namely the Tangsel Creative Foundation, which contains South Tangerang youth or local millennials. In previous research, it was said that the barrier to community participation was due to the lack of participation forums such as the Tangsel Youth Planner Program. From the results of this study it was found that it is very important for local community participation in development such as the Tangsel Youth Planner program. It is also known that the Tangsel Youth Planner program has the characteristics of an interventionist social development and uses a social development approach by the government. Abstrak.

health-related problems and even death among animals and human beings. Agriculture is the main food source; thus, many interventions are made such as that of irrigation by the local county and national government initiated through the National Irrigation Board (NIB). Despite the irrigation projects food insufficiency still persists, therefore their sustainability is questionable. One such approach to improving the sustainability of irrigation projects is participatory monitoring and evaluation which leads to ownership and then higher sustainability. In the study, the objective was to asses if taking corrective action after participatory monitoring and evaluation (PME) influence project sustainability. The study used a descriptive survey and correlation designs to collect data from 316 respondents selected using stratification sand purposeful with strict randomization. Questionnaires were administered and interviews were conducted on selected sample respondents on appointed dates. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0 to get descriptive statistics, correlations coefficients were obtained to test association and degree of strength. Testing of the hypothesis was done using linear regression. The study findings were that a large number of respondents were between ages 31 to 40 years and most were female with their highest level of education being primary school. The influence of PME capacity building on the dependent variable and irrigation projects sustainability found that the farmers were not taken for exposure visits and project officers were not accountable for money use. Age, gender, and education level have very minimal influence on PME capacity building. PME capacity building had a weak positive influence of r = 0.290 and it explained only 8.4% of irrigation projects sustainability in Kitui County. The study recommends that to improve project capacity building: project revenue must be controlled on use, farmers must be taken for exposure visits to learn from successors, project officers should be accountable for funds use, and project guidelines should be improved to increase sustainability. Implementation of these recommendations will reduce the loss of Arid and Semi-Srid Lands (ASALs) and attain higher and longer sustainability in food projects, thus, reducing the recurrence rate of food shortage, improve and hasten the implementation of irrigation projects, show the need to involve primary stakeholders in project monitoring and appraisal for sustainability, better and efficient decisions by policymakers to increase chances of project’s success.

The study discusses the contribution of volunteerism to monitoring and evaluation (M and E) of NGO projects using the case study of a NGO in Chegutu district, Zimbabwe. While there is significant body of literature on contribution of volunteerism to social development in Zimbabwe and elsewhere, there is no literature that specifically discuss the nexus between formal volunteerism and monitoring and evaluation. The study was limited to formal volunteerism organised in Non-Governmental Organisation. It emerged that volunteers perform several M and E roles that include data collection, reporting, feedback of project success, peer to peer mentoring and beneficiary verification. These roles are embedded in the broader project functions. While performing these roles several challenges affects the outcomes of M and E roles. Low literacy levels affect effective performance of M and E roles. Similarly, desire to sustain households’ livelihoods conflict with performance of M and E roles resulting in little commitment by some of the volunteers. Data in the study were collected from volunteers and NGOs officials. Data were collected using in-depth interview. The findings are presented and discussed thematically.

Participatory modes of local economic development are laudable policy aspirations, but are often difficult to cultivate in practice. Thus, attempts by international bodies, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), to institutionalize participatory development in localities of the Global South have often faced serious implementation challenges. Key to this is the issue of power asymmetry. This study uses Giddens’ notion of duality of structure and draws upon a qualitative case study research of the Ghana Decent Work Programme (GWDP) implemented in Ajumako Enyan Essiam to deepen the understanding of the nature of asymmetric power relations among actors within a participatory development space. The key finding is the dynamic nature of asymmetric power relations. The ensuing asymmetric power relations manifest in the negotiations and contestations that contribute to shaping the trajectory of the participatory development space. The study, therefore, challenges the static notions of asymmetric power relations within participatory development spaces by revealing their fluid properties.

The General Election Commission (KPU) is restricted by very strict and detail rules. KPU utilizes e-Monev based on Government Regulation no. 39 in 2006 on Procedures of the Control and Evaluation to monitor the implementation of the duties and financial performance to be effective and accountable since 2014. It needs to be assessed how its implementation; whether successful or failed, and to know what supporting and obstructing factors of its implementation. The implementation results showed that the implementation performance has not been suitable with its design. The political performance demonstrated the success by successfully organizing local election in 2015 which was suitable with its stages without violence. Implementation of e-Monev was supported by factors of standards and objectives and the characteristics of the agencies, while the obstructing factors were policy resources, communication between the implementing agencies; dispositions; economic, social and politic conditions.
