<![CDATA[Digital transformation of public services has become an essential need for village governments to improve the speed, accessibility, and transparency of services toward the development of Smart Villages. Lebih Village, Gianyar District, still faces several challenges, including the partially manual delivery of administrative services, limited capacity of village officials in utilizing technology, low digital literacy among the community, and suboptimal village data management. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the capacity of village officials and the community in utilizing technology and to support the implementation of digital public services in Lebih Village. The activity involved 20 participants consisting of village officials and community representatives. It was conducted over three months using a participatory action and capacity-building approach through problem identification, training, education, practical sessions, implementation, mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. The effectiveness of the activity was measured through pre-tests and post-tests, followed by N-Gain analysis and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test.
