Abstract

Sikka Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), is a region facing complex poverty challenges, exacerbated by its dry agro-ecological conditions and the limitations of government development programs. In this context, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as the Nusa Tenggara Association (NTA) play a crucial role. This research aims to analyze the revitalization of NTA's efforts in alleviating poverty in Sikka during the 2020–2024 period. Using a qualitative research method with a case study approach, data were collected through a literature review of NTA reports and in-depth interviews with NTA staff at both central and field levels. The analysis was conducted using David Lewis's theory of NGO roles (implementer, catalyst, partner) and a constructivist perspective. The findings reveal a strategic shift in NTA's approach, moving from a predominantly distributive model (aid provision) to the transfer of adaptive, sustainable agricultural technology. This revitalization included introducing grafting techniques for rejuvenating cocoa and cashew trees, developing horticulture based on rainwater harvesting tanks and bokashi compost, and modernizing pig farming through hygienic stalls and an artificial insemination (AI) program. NTA's role evolved from merely an implementer to a catalyst for change and a strategic partner for the government. The formal collaboration with the Agricultural Technology Assessment Institute (BPTP)/BRIN proved effective, with innovations initiated by NTA later being adopted by local government programs. This demonstrates NTA's success in influencing local development practices, contributing to an increase in the income of assisted households and a reduction in Sikka's overall poverty rate.

Abstract

Bangun Makmur Fish Farming Group in Parit Aman Village, Bangko District, Rokan Hilir Regency, participated in a community service program focusing on catfish farming technology through the integration of white turmeric-based herbal feed and rabal probiotics. This initiative aimed to enhance productivity, reduce production costs, and strengthen food security and the local economy. The program was implemented through training, field practice, mentoring, and continuous evaluation using a learning by doing approach. The results indicated notable improvements in farming performance. The use of white turmeric herbal feed reduced the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) to as low as 1.5, decreased feed costs by 28%, and increased fish harvest weight by 15 25%. The application of rabal probiotics contributed to more stable water quality, lowered fish mortality to below 15%, and improved water-use efficiency. In addition to technical outcomes, group members improved their management capacity by adopting Good Aquaculture Practices (CBIB), digital record-keeping, and online marketing strategies. Overall, the program demonstrated that combining herbal feed and probiotic technology with strengthened management practices is an effective strategy to promote economic independence and establish aquaculture as a sustainable alternative to secure food and livelihoods in rural communities.
