Abstract

Village community empowerment is key to improving welfare and addressing socio-economic challenges. Aek Najaji Village in Padangsidimpuan Batunadua District has potentials and challenges that require analysis to design an appropriate empowerment model. This study analyzes the village’s socio-economic conditions, identifies potentials and challenges, and formulates an empowerment model suited to its characteristics. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with 29 informants, FGDs, and documentation (October 2024–January 2025). Data analysis employed the Miles and Huberman interactive model with data triangulation. Findings indicate strong social cohesion (Social Capital Index 7.8/10) and a community participation rate of 72%. The economy is dominated by the informal sector: farmers (40%), farm laborers (25%), and construction workers (20%). Potentials include agricultural natural resources, strong social capital (85% community participation in mutual cooperation), and high enthusiasm for empowerment programs. Key challenges are limited market access, low economic diversification, and minimal youth involvement. The recommended model is a Social Capital-Based Participatory Empowerment approach focusing on capacity building, economic diversification, and strengthening village institutions.

Abstract

A Community Service Program (KKN) based on community empowerment through the creative economy was implemented in Aek Najaji Village, Padangsidimpuan, North Sumatra (October 2024-January 2025). This study analyzed the implementation and impact of the program on community welfare and stunting prevention using a participatory qualitative method involving 24 students and 614 community members. The program consisted of 18 activities in four areas (scientific, religious, arts-sports, thematic) with a total of 3,930 minutes of JKEM. The results showed significant improvements: participation in integrated health posts (Posyandu) increased by 30% (65% to 85%), household food diversity increased by 44% (3.2 to 4.6 food groups), the formation of 5 sustainable micro-enterprises with an average income increase of Rp 450,000/month, and 25 household gardens produced 15 kg of vegetables/month. The program successfully addressed the determinants of stunting through a holistic approach that integrates aspects of nutrition, environmental health, access to health services, and socio-economic empowerment. Despite facing infrastructure challenges and low youth participation (28%), the program achieved sustainability through the formation of eight community champions and an embedded system within the village structure.
