Practical Applications: The activities were implemented through socialization, field surveys, door-to-door visits, and technical assistance in using the Sihalal platform. This program provided education on legality, increased awareness of halal certification, and fostered a culture of compliance among local entrepreneurs. Conclusion: The results demonstrate that participatory and educative approaches are effective in increasing the capacity of local business actors, ensuring product legality, and supporting sustainable empowerment of MSMEs in rural areas.
