The Ministry of Tourism, along with local spa outlet Nurkadhatyan Spa, promoted wellness tourism at the Asia-Pacific Trade Facilitation Forum, or APTFF, at the Royal Ambarrukmo Hotel in Yogyakarta on Sept. 5-8. The ministry and Nurkadhatyan collaborated on opening a joint-booth, which drew dozens of forum participants. "During the break period, the booth is always filled with lines of guests who want to enjoy our signature spa treatment, named Lengin Bondowoso," said Worro H. Astuti, coordinator of Nurkadhatyan Spa. Worro said the Lengin Bondowos massage centers on the body’s main energy points. "Our concept comprises traditional Javanese massages that are different than other spa treatments.

for achieving its objective of a peaceful It commits the Australian government to putting local actors at the heart of the development program and the locally engaged staff in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) itself It sets the stage for the way DFAT engages local stakeholders throughout the development program cycle While the policy emphasises the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ of locally led development DFAT and its development partners will need to grapple with ‘how’ to make it happen We recently worked with DFAT to convene a discussion involving staff from DFAT NGOs and other aid stakeholders on effective approaches to locally led development Taking place before the release of the new policy the event underscored the need for funding agencies to set clear directions on locally led development and to tackle the institutional norms and constraints hampering progress on locally led development It also featured examples of contractors’ attempts to address obstacles themselves within the changing aid landscape and highlighted the resounding need for further exchange of good practices on both sides We share here some highlights from the conversation that tackle aspects of the ‘how’ of locally led development And we propose ways in which contractors can help lay the foundations for more equitable diverse and locally led development relationships in the future The discussion was structured around the Abt Associates’ ‘4S’ framework which describes four key dimensions of locally led development: systemic we provided recent examples of good practice in each of these dimensions of localisation from the Pacific and Southeast Asia While DFAT had ensured the concept for KOMPAK was developed as part of the Government of Indonesia’s (GoI) poverty reduction pillar in the Mid-Term National Development Plan the KOMPAK team worked with GoI on embedding pilots into government systems and upscaling the successful ones into nation-wide policies and programs The discussion highlighted the importance of not only embedding changes into government systems but also engaging with civil society given their critical role in holding governments to account How far investments are designed and owned by the host government or other local partners forms the strategic dimension of localisation and has historically been viewed as the responsibility of funding agencies implementing agencies can also drive program design operations and collaboration with government program governance and monitoring and evaluation processes that include and nurture local organisations early on Challenges may arise – such as the need for core funding to enable organisations to engage in co-design – but taking a proactive approach and seeking mutual resolution at the design stage puts local organisations on a stronger this approach also strengthens long-term civic engagement Spending was the subject of much debate during our gathering If decision-making and spending authority were devolved to a greater extent what could DFAT and contractors do differently Preferencing and tracking local procurement and expenditure are good starting points In the five DFAT-funded programs delivered by Abt in Papua New Guinea last year 83% of subcontracts were with PNG-registered organisations and 88% of grantees receiving funds were PNG-registered The policy acknowledges the need to balance accountability with a greater risk tolerance contractors expressed a desire to collaborate with DFAT on managing any fiduciary risks while increasingly delegating planning and budgeting authority to their local (that is sub-national) teams and providing funding to newer and smaller local partners Our conversation also surfaced concerns about quality: how can more trust be engendered in a partner government or a civil society organisation when it comes to resource allocations What changes in procurement and accountability mechanisms are needed for this to happen How can we provide space for local partners to set priorities and take decisions – sharing risks between funding agency and contractor is there space for contractors and DFAT to work collectively to build and support better career pathways for local staff Our conversation with DFAT shed light on the ways in which local staff – no matter how senior their position – can be inadvertently excluded from the formal and informal networks and conversations where power is exercised Rather than using increased levels of local staffing as the single measure of successful localisation our task should thus be to shift the behaviours power relations and structures that shape decision-making This includes ensuring greater visibility for local staff but also identifying and engaging with them as drivers of change including on setting the direction and planning for country-level partnerships These practices are not yet commonplace across Australia’s aid program. Certainly, the new international development policy demonstrates commitment to locally led development. In the recent Pulse Check by the Development Intelligence Lab development practitioners from the Pacific and Southeast Asia overwhelmingly voted for localisation and decolonisation as the topmost priorities for change in Australia’s aid program Contractors are keen to help DFAT translate commitment into results Approaching development differently will require both funding agencies and contractors to learn new skills and shift mindsets Locally led development calls for reshaping the business processes of development organisations to reflect a genuine intent to shift power to local actors it calls for an honest reflection on the norms and biases that prevail in the development sector Anna Winoto is Indonesia Country Representative and Strategic Adviser with Abt Associates’

International Technical Practice team She leads policy and practice around equity and localisation for Abt’s programs across Asia and the Pacific As a further effort to assist localisation DFAT and other external country aid providers directly to locally owned and operated Consultancy Companies not thru established operatives in the country of origin Thus the full financial benefits accrue to the local country and Company’s What if the locally owned and operated Consultancy Companies are Is it DFAT’s role to build the capacity of that local private sector

unless otherwise noted Scooter racing is serious business South-East Asia Large-scale races are routinely held all over the region drawing huge crowds and garnering the support of deep-pocketed corporate sponsorship a video from a 2017 race in East went viral thanks to a beef between two of the riders Several streets had been blocked off in Bondowoso’s town square to create the annual event’s impromptu circuit The video begins with competitors on the starting line before the flag is waved and the pack takes off On the final corner of the first lap one M Hasan - aka the rider in the vest - can be seen intentionally nudging a fellow competitor with his elbow Dimas can then be seen standing up and dusting himself off before removing his helmet and then walking back out to the middle of the track For several seconds Dimas stands there with his helmet in hand waiting for Hasan to come back around on the next lap At some point Dimas decides against utilizing his helmet as his impromptu weapon of choice and instead opts to pick up one of the many large sandbags used to divide the sides of the track he sees Dimas standing in the middle of the track Hasan continues towards Dimas and eventually makes an unsuccessful effort to swerve in an attempt to dodge the large and seemingly heavy item The bag beautifully finds its mark thanks to a well-placed throw from Dimas hitting Hasan’s front wheel and sending the rider to the ground – much to the enjoyment of the crowd that can be heard cheering in response to the action Riders continue the race as Dimas – cool as a cucumber – calmly walks back toward his crashed bike Dimas gives chase – much to the dismay of Hasan who seemingly doesn’t want the confrontation to continue the Indonesian Motor Association (or IMA) were none too pleased about this incident nor the fact it went viral as this admittedly doesn’t represent them in the best light As a result it appears both riders have been penalized and banned from competing though I couldn’t find a consistent source stating for how long There’s no word on what the two riders’ beef was over and from what I gather the race in question was the very first of the entire event While I’m not sure how things are done over there I think this may have been Hasan’s first race based on him wearing a neon safety vest The footage from the 2017 Bondowoso Road Race in East Java now has several million views across a myriad of platforms and you can check out an edit of the good parts below MotoAmerica Revolutionises Rapid Concussion Testing in Sport With New Blood

MotoGP Rider’s Sneaky Tactic Helped Him Secure a Podium Sound Up: Listen to Yamaha's New V4 MotoGP Engine Scream but Bambang presses on down the side of Indonesia’s Kajah Iwen volcano bending under the weight of the sulfur he carries on his shoulders “I don’t have enough money to buy a gas mask,” he said Bambang is one of 350 sulfur miners who eke out a dangerous and exhausting living on the active volcano His 70kg haul of “yellow gold” — or brimstone as it is known in the Bible — will be bought by local factories and used to refine sugar or make matches and medicines The men do everything by hand,” said Suharsono the 55-year-old mining supervisor who has spent 35 years on Kawah Ijen the obstacle course begins at the bottom of the crater on the shore of a large turquoise lake considered the most acidic in the world This is where they extract the liquid sulfur as it flows out of hot iron pipes The sulfur is then loaded into wicker baskets at either end of bamboo yokes and carried back over the lip of the crater and down the side of the volcano Every day up to 14 tonnes of sulfur are extracted from Kawah Ijen this way my shoulders are like jelly,” said Jailami “Some visitors tell us this is one of the worst jobs in the world In my village there are no other opportunities,” he said Most of the miners have hacking coughs and teeth stained yellow from inhaling sulfur dioxide “I don’t think I have more health problems than other people down the valley,” Suharsono said The porters make up to 80,000 rupiah (US$8.70) a day for two trips into the fuming crater a relatively good income compared to many of their neighbors three times higher than growing rice,” Bambang said the miners fear the sulfuric acid in the lake Emissions of toxic gases from the lake killed seven porters in the 1970s a tragedy not forgotten by today’s workers Accessible only by a rutted road through a lush forest the volcano attracts a few thousand tourists a year drawn by the work of documentary maker Nicolas Hulot Indonesia has more than 75 historically active volcanoes In the future they will be a major source of clean geothermal energy in line with government plans to attract billions of dollars of investment in high-tech power plants In the meantime the miners of Kawah Ijen will extract the volcano’s mineral wealth the only way they know how a brilliant inventor

A couple of years ago Football Tribe Asia did a small feature on Satun United a Thai club known as “The Exorcists” due to their supposed supernatural abilities and for this year we decided to take on a more historical horror approach with a mundane-looking Indonesian club who are currently defunct – Persebo Bondowoso At a glance Persebo might seem like you run-off-the-mill provincial club in Indonesia having last played in the second-tier of Indonesian football as recently as the 2016 Indonesian Soccer Championship B The club was known in the Indonesian football fraternity not because of their exploits on the field East Java was ineligible to play any competitive football matches Persebo were forced to play their home games at a number of different locations outside Bondowoso including among others nearby Lumajang in East Java and Musi Banyuasin Regency in South Sumatra Persebo were often the subject of ridicule amongst Indonesian football fans due to their badge bearing an uncanny resemblance to that of Spanish giants FC Barcelona it was their nickname that earned Persebo a spotlight in this feature Unlike other Indonesian clubs that chose heroic-sounding (and sometimes fearsome) nicknames for their clubs Persebo’s nickname careened straight away from the heroic and fearsome and straight into historical horror territory – the Laskar Gerbong Maut Because the so-called “death carriages” are an actual wartime atrocity conducted during the fallout of World War II particularly in the war to defend Indonesian independence from Dutch invaders Indonesian prisoners were often transported from one place to another using trains These trains were in the most appalling of conditions – no ventilation and more often than not hundreds of prisoners were stuffed into a single carriage that wasn’t meant to carry any human passengers at all being carriages meant to carry goods from one city to another numerous people died during these treacherous trips with one particular trip from Bondowoso to Surabaya on November 23rd 1947 killing 46 supposed Indonesian revolutionaries a tragedy that was annually commemorated in the city of Bondowoso Victims often die inside carriages due to either a lack of oxygen or severe heatstroke In order to commemorate the noble lives lost in those train carriages of death Persebo decided to adopt the nickname Laskar Gerbong Maut Although there was nothing inherently too supernatural about Persebo unlike their Thai counterparts over at Satun United the fact that the “death carriages” were an actual horrifying highlight in Indonesian history meant that the Laskar Gerbong Maut moniker is both a somber commemoration of the lives lost inside the carriages and a horrible specter of a wartime atrocity conducted in the war for Indonesian independence – especially with the reports of supernatural sightings inside and around a preserved example of a “death carriage” over at the Brawijaya Museum in Malang they cease to exist as a club after the 2016 season After a botched rebrand into Sumatra Selatan United before the 2017 Liga 2 season to the city of Sumenep on the island of Madura thus ending Persebo’s long history in Indonesian football there’s a happy ending for everyone involved in this story Madura FC are still going strong despite being relegated into the Liga 3 after the 2019 season while the province of South Sumatra finally got their second club to rival Sriwijaya FC in the form of Musi Banyuasin United (Muba United) their footballing tradition still continues in the form of a phoenix club that was established in 2017 the very year Persebo ceased to exist – Persebo Muda Bondowoso who interestingly adopted the same Laskar Gerbong Maut nickname as their predecessors Football Tribe Halloween Special – Satun United
