Research results were obtained based on research in two villages in the district. East Sinjai Kab. Sinjai shows that the management of BUMDes has not been implemented optimally. From the several efforts that have been implemented, the benefits have not been felt in terms of improving the welfare of the community. This is influenced by several factors including lack of communication between BUMDes managers and the community and with the local village government, in addition to the lack of transparency, managerial capacity, legal standing, and stagnation of savings and loan businesses caused by community indiscipline.]]>
