Abstract

This study discusses the strategic role of the village government in economic empowerment of local fishermen in Mengkait Village, Anambas Islands, Riau Islands Province. With a descriptive qualitative approach, this study illustrates how village governments facilitate training, fishing gear assistance, and the establishment of economic institutions to improve the welfare of fishermen. The results of the study show that the role of the village government is quite effective, characterized by increasing the capacity of fishermen, the involvement of vulnerable groups, and the participatory involvement of the community in development planning. However, some challenges are still faced, such as dependence on aid and weak financial literacy. These findings show that empowerment carried out in a planned, participatory, and local potential-based manner is able to create significant economic changes in coastal villages. This research is expected to be a policy reference for the empowerment of fishing communities in other 3T regions in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of Village Funds in Mengkait Village, South Siantan District, Anambas Islands Regency, Riau Islands Province. The Village Fund is a strategic policy of the government in order to accelerate the development and empowerment of village communities, so it is necessary to evaluate the extent to which the funds are used appropriately and effectively. The research approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of informants consisting of village officials, community leaders, and beneficiary communities. This study uses four indicators of effectiveness, namely accuracy of timing, accuracy of cost calculation, accuracy in measurement, and accuracy in thinking. The results of the study show that the use of Village Funds in Mengkait Village in general has been quite effective. The timeliness of the implementation was largely achieved, although some activities experienced delays due to weather and logistical factors. In terms of cost calculation, the village government has prepared the budget in a participatory and transparent manner, although there have been some adjustments due to price changes in the field. Accuracy in measurements shows that physical activities have been carried out in accordance with the technical plan, although there is still a need for increased supervision and accuracy in implementation. Meanwhile, precision in thinking is reflected in program planning that starts to be based on data and the real needs of the community, although not completely visionary or long-term. The village government has shown progress in implementing the principles of good governance and village development management. In conclusion, the effectiveness of the use of Village Funds in Mengkait Village has reached a fairly good level. To increase effectiveness in the future, it is recommended to increase the capacity of village officials, strengthen the monitoring and evaluation system, and actively participate of the community in all stages of Village Fund management.
