<![CDATA[Strengthening the role of village officials in the development and supervision of village-owned enterprises (BUMDes) is a crucial aspect in realizing transparent, accountable, and sustainable village economic management. However, in practice, this function is often carried out administratively and is not supported by adequate institutional evaluation instruments. This community service activity aims to enhance the capacity of the village apparatus of Sawah Village, Kampar Utara Sub-district, in performing their institutional development and oversight functions for the BUMDes “Maju Bersama Sawah” through a participatory training approach and the development of institutional monitoring instruments. The method used is a collaborative participatory approach based on the principles of Participatory Learning and Action (PLA), with activity stages including problem identification, training, workshop on instrument development, and participatory evaluation. The results of the activity show an increase in the village apparatus' understanding of their strategic role, as well as the development of institutional evaluation documents that can be used to strengthen accountability and coordination among stakeholders. The conclusion of this activity affirms that a participatory training approach is effective in building awareness and evaluative skills among village officials. Therefore, replication of this model is recommended as a strategy for empowering village economic institutions in the long term]]>
