This study aims to analyze the equalization of training and human resource (HR) development in an effort to improve services at the Bawalato Sub-district Office, Nias Regency. The background of this research is the finding of unequal training opportunities, where only a small number of employees have had the opportunity to participate in training, while others have never attended any training, resulting in competency gaps that affect the quality of public services. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The results show that: (1) the implementation of equal training and HR development has not been optimal because training opportunities are still influenced by field of duty, participant appointment, recommendations, and training availability; (2) training inequality is caused by budget constraints, leadership policies that are not yet equity-based, minimal HR development planning, prioritization of structural officials, suboptimal competency needs mapping, differences in employee motivation, and limited access to training information; and (3) the equalization of training and HR development contributes to improving the quality of public services, particularly in enhancing the knowledge and skills of apparatus, enabling services to be delivered more quickly, accurately, easily, professionally, and responsively to community needs.
