Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in economic empowerment and extreme poverty reduction in Garut Regency, focusing on five villages that have active BUMDes. Based on data analysis, the results of the study show that BUMDes play an important role in improving the welfare of rural communities through economic empowerment and reducing extreme poverty. The institutional performance of professionally managed BUMDes, with a clear organizational structure, high accountability, and a focus on local potential-based businesses, has been proven to support economic empowerment significantly. Economic empowerment carried out by BUMDes has succeeded in reducing the extreme poverty rate through increasing income and quality of life for village communities. In addition, the active participation of the community in the planning and management of BUMDes strengthens the impact of economic empowerment. Support from the government and village assistants, through training, capital provision, and policies that support business innovation, also strengthens the performance of BUMDes. Innovation in business models and business diversification are key to the sustainability and scalability of empowerment programs. These findings support community-based development theory and social business concepts, which emphasize the importance of local institutions in economic empowerment. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that the government and related parties increase support for the development of BUMDes through policies, training, and capital provision, as well as strengthen community participation in the management of BUMDes to increase the impact of economic empowerment in rural areas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of the Citengah Village government in increasing the economic independence of the community through local economic empowerment. Using descriptive analysis methods and multiple linear regression, this study involved 100 respondents consisting of the community, village officials, and MSME actors. The results of the study showed that MSME training and capital assistance had a significant positive impact on increasing the economic independence of the community. As many as 80% of respondents considered this program to be quite helpful for their economic activities, while the development of economic infrastructure also facilitated access to the market, as expressed by 75% of respondents. Community participation in the planning and implementation of village economic policies was considered very important by 65% ​​of respondents, and was proven to have an effect on the effectiveness of the program. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the village government strategy had a significant effect on the economic independence of the community (p <0.05), and community involvement also had a positive impact (H2 accepted). However, the management of Village Funds has not shown a significant effect (H3 rejected), which indicates challenges in terms of transparency and efficiency of fund use. This study concludes that the village economic empowerment strategy based on community participation and MSME development is effective in increasing economic independence, with recommendations to strengthen the transparency of Village Fund management and expand the marketing network for local products.
