One of the efforts that can be made is to establish synergy between the government and the community and strengthen capacity building for village officials.

This descriptive-analytic research method with a cross-sectional design was conducted in April 2021. The population consists of 220 villages in Nagan Raya District. The sampling technique used the cluster sampling technique so that 12 villages were obtained with 96 respondents. They are collecting data using a questionnaire instrument. The test in this study used logistic regression for bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between increasing the capability of village officials and the variable level of education (p= 0,040; OR= 2,77), knowledge (p= 0,001; OR= 7,22) implementers (p= 0,002; OR= 8,54) and manager (p= 0,001; OR= 11,05).
