Vol. 6 No. 2 (2026): Multidiciplinary Output Research For Actual and International Issue

This study analyzes corruption involving Village Funds in Lompo Tengah Village, Barru Regency, and proposes preventive measures for transparent and fair management. The objectives include identifying corruption forms and ideal prevention strategies. Using normative and empirical methods, primary data were gathered through observations and interviews, while secondary data came from literature. Findings indicate that corruption arises from weak supervision, low integrity of officials, poor governance, economic issues, and inadequate understanding of financial regulations. Effective prevention requires collaboration among village, community, and local government, with a focus on capacity building, public information transparency, and empowering institutions like the Village Consultative Body (BPD) and Village Consultative Meeting (Musdes). Implementing good governance principles—accountability, participation, and rule of law—is vital for achieving clean management of Village Funds that benefits the community.
