Abstract

This community service aimed to assist housewife groups in Medan Johor and Medan Tuntungan, Medan City, in developing instant holat spice products. Holat, a traditional Mandailing dish, holds cultural significance but is time-intensive and difficult to prepare, as well as the raw materials are difficult to find in urban areas. The initiative sought to preserve local culinary traditions while providing an economic opportunity for the target group. Activities included training sessions on ingredient selection, production techniques, food safety, packaging, and marketing strategies. Through these efforts, participants gained skills to produce instant holat spices and market them effectively. The program successfully empowered the participants by fostering entrepreneurship and promoting traditional cuisine spices in a modern way, contributing to both cultural preservation and economic improvement.

Abstract

The policy requiring at least 20% of the education budget aims to improve regional education quality, but its success depends on efficient management. This study analyzes the efficiency of education expenditure realization and GDP per capita in supporting regional education infrastructure development across 33 districts/cities in North Sumatra Province. Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with an input-oriented approach, each district/city was treated as a decision-making unit. The findings reveal significant efficiency variations among regions. Most areas show moderate efficiency, while only a few achieve optimal performance and serve as benchmarks. The results indicate that larger budgets and stronger economic capacity do not automatically enhance education development without efficient governance and effective budget management
