Abstract

The economic empowerment of vulnerable women in Agam Regency is an endeavor aimed at facilitating the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 5 focusing on gender equality and women's empowerment. Within Agam Regency, vulnerable women encounter a multitude of obstacles such as violence, divorce, poverty, and the consequences of natural calamities, all of which contribute to their state of helplessness. Spearheaded by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of the Republic of Indonesia in partnership with Non-Governmental Organizations (Tabik DC), the empowerment initiative seeks to enhance the capabilities and financial autonomy of vulnerable women through gender-centric entrepreneurship guidance. This research endeavors to evaluate the efficacy of the program and its efficacy in advancing the SDGs. Employing a mixed methods approach, the study encompasses a survey involving 50 vulnerable women from three sub-districts (Baso, Ampek Angkek, Tilatang Kamang). The findings reveal that the program has effectively transformed the mindset of participants while enhancing their entrepreneurial acumen and knowledge in business management. Furthermore, it has played a pivotal role in bolstering self-esteem and financial self-sufficiency among the beneficiaries. By and large, this empowerment scheme significantly contributes to the attainment of the SDGs, notably SDG 5 concerning gender equality and women's empowerment. In conclusion, the economic empowerment program, centered on gender-specific technical guidance in Agam Regency, has triumphed in realizing its objectives of enhancing the capacities and financial autonomy of vulnerable women, thereby aiding in the accomplishment of the SDGs.

Abstract

Urban farming has the potential to increase family knowledge in disaster preparedness. Through urban farming practices, families can gain relevant knowledge and skills to better deal with disasters. In the context of coastal communities in Koto Tangah subdistrict in Padang City which are vulnerable to disasters such as earthquakes and floods, urban farming can be an effective strategy in preparing families to face emergency situations. Urban farming has become a vital strategy in dealing with climate change and increasing food security in various urban communities. In this context, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) play a central role in implementing and expanding urban farming practices. This research focuses on the role of NGOs in implementing urban farming in Koto Tangah District, Padang City. NGOs act as policy advocates, mobilizing support and driving change in urban agricultural management. Training organized by NGOs increases community knowledge and skills related to urban farming, creating positive behavioral changes. Effective outreach increases understanding of the sustainability and benefits of urban farming. In seeding and planting activities, NGOs provide significant support through the distribution of planting media, seeds and fertilizer. This results in increased capacity, confidence and savings in family expenses. Overall, the role of NGOs in urban farming in Koto Tangah District not only creates a practical transformation in food production, but also has a positive impact on awareness, disaster preparedness and environmental sustainability. This research provides a holistic picture of how NGO interventions can be a catalyst for change in urban communities through the implementation of urban farming.
