To answer this challenge, a training program was held that focused on building the capacity of members in a practical and sustainable manner, including leadership, soft skills development, and strategies for preparing DIKTI funding proposals. This program uses the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) approach with the stages of Discovery, Dream, Design, Define, and Destiny.
