<![CDATA[Cassava leaves are a locally abundant food resource in Indonesia with high potential to be developed into economically valuable products. This study aims to describe the development process and community responses to the innovation of cassava leaf-based snacks called CENDAKONG (Cassava Leaf Jerky Snack). The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a participatory approach through training and socialization activities targeting members of the women's religious gathering (Perwiritan) in Jalan Srikandi, Tegal Sari Mandala II, Medan Denai District, Medan City. The activity was conducted on April 13, 2025, using lectures and demonstrations. The results showed that the training was successfully implemented and received positive feedback from participants. CENDAKONG was successfully developed as a nutritious and economically valuable local food product. The success of this project demonstrates that processing local food resources through creative approaches and supported by proper training can empower communities and open entrepreneurial opportunities that improve the standard of living and local-based economic development]]>
