Balai Sakinah ‘Aisyiyah community group has an important role as the development partner of the Kalibening Village, Dukun District, Magelang Regency. The MAMPU financial assistance scheme has encouraged BSA to drive innovation in pioneering the village information system (SID) in Kalibening. The pioneering of the said village information system was carried out in collaboration with students, the village government and some residents. An assessment of the village information system development process in Kalibening must be carried out to evaluate the overly dominant role of technical assistance in village development. This research was conducted with a participatory research method to allow researchers be a part of the studied phenomenon to explore the paradoxes that emerged from implementing the Balai Sakinah Aisyiyah’s technical assistance in pioneering the village information system in Kalibening, Dukun, Magelang. The data collection and analysis were carried out throughout the development of the village information system during the Gadjah Mada University community engagement program in Kalibening Village for a period of 50 days. The results of the study show that the model of technical assistance advocated by BSA in pioneering SID does indeed help the village innovation process. However, paradoxes arise in the disproportionately bigger role that civil society organizations played compared to that of the villagers. Civil society organizations designed the SID development method without prior consultations with the villagers. The dominance of the civil society organizations also resulted in knowledge gaps among villagers. They become nothing more than merely an object for data collection. Nevertheless, the students involved in the community engagement program facilitated the villagers to utilize the resulting data.AbstrakBalai Sakinah ‘Aisyiyah (BSA) memiliki peranan penting sebagai mitra pembangunan desa Kalibening, Kecamatan Dukun, Kabupaten Magelang. Bantuan skema donor MAMPU mendorong keterlibatan BSA dalam mendorong inovasi perintisan sistem informasi desa di Kalibening. Perintisan sistem informasi desa dilakukan bersama dengan para mahasiswa, pemerintah desa dan sebagian warga. Pengkajian terhadap proses perintisan sistem informasi desa di Kalibening perlu didalami untuk mengevaluasi terlalu dominannya peran bantuan teknis dalam pembangunan desa. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode penelitian partisipatif untuk menjadikan peneliti menjadi bagian dari fenomena yang dikaji untuk menggali paradoks yang muncul dari pelaksanaan bantuan teknis BSA dalam perintisan sistem informasi desa di Kalibening, Dukun, Magelang. Pengumpulan dan analisis data dilakukan sepanjang pelaksanaan program perintisan sistem informasi di desa selama pelaksanaan KKN PPM UGM di Desa Kalibening selama 50 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa model bantuan teknis yang didorong BSA dalam perintisan SID memang membantu proses inovasi desa. Akan tetapi, muncul berbagai paradoks dalam peran organisasi masyarakat sipil yang terlalu banyak dibandingkan peran warga. Organisasi masyarakat sipil menentukan sendiri metode yang dipakai dalam perintisan SID tanpa terlebih dahulu melibatkan warga lain. Dominasi peran organisasi masyarakat sipil juga membawa masalah kesenjangan pengetahuan dengan warga. Warga semata menjadi objek yang kemudian coba dimediasi oleh mahasiswa KKN untuk dapat memanfaatkan data. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan kepada para pemangku kepentingan di Kalibening untuk melibatkan kelompok sasaran lain seperti kelompok tani, PKK, dan lain-lain dalam pemanfaatan sistem informasi desa.
