Abstract

ABSTRACTThis community engagement project focuses on strengthening legal capacity in rural communities through paralegal training in Molamahu Village, Pulubala District, Gorontalo Regency. The program was initiated to address the limited access of rural communities to legal aid due to low legal literacy, distance from formal institutions, and the shortage of lawyers in rural areas. The training employed a participatory approach, including basic legal education, case simulations, and direct mentoring. The findings reveal that paralegal training significantly improves community legal awareness, strengthens public participation in dispute resolution, and fosters the establishment of local legal discussion forums. Village paralegals have proven to be agents of change, bridging communities with the formal legal system while cultivating a restorative and participatory legal culture. This program is recommended for sustainable development through collaboration with legal aid institutions, universities, and village governments to enhance its effectiveness in expanding community access to justice.Keywords : Paralegal, access to justice, law enforcement

Abstract

Teratai Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Katialada Village is a business actor that utilises local potential in the form of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) by innovating its processed products into nuggets. This community service activity aimed to provide training on the skipjack tuna nugget processing technique and to identify the development of skipjack tuna nuggets within this MSMEs. The methods employed were the approach method, demonstration and training, and evaluation. The results indicated that the nugget production process includes the stages of raw material preparation (filleting, washing), mixing the batter (comminuted fish meat, flour, spices, and binders), moulding, steaming, coating with breadcrumbs, freezing, and packaging. The resulting nugget product has a distinctive savoury skipjack tuna flavour, a soft interior texture yet crispy exterior, and high nutritional value, particularly in protein. However, the challenges faced by MSMEs include limited capital for expansion, the need for a cold chain to maintain the shelf life of frozen products, and competition with commercial chicken nuggets. It is concluded that Teratai MSME's skipjack tuna nuggets have good market prospects as a value-added alternative product. For further development, effective marketing strategies, flavour diversification, and support in terms of capital and preservation technology are needed to enhance competitiveness and business scalability. Keywords: skipjak tuna, fish nuggets, MSMEs, diversifikation, produk, value-Added

Abstract

Glut corn is a local commodity with significant potential for development as a value-added food ingredient. However, limited product innovation, technical skills, and marketing strategies remain major challenges for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Mulonegoro Village, Pulubala District, Gorontalo Regency. This community service activity aims to describe the implementation of training in the production of glutinous corn-based processed products and assess its impact on increasing the capacity of MSMEs. The method used was a qualitative participatory approach through preparation, entrepreneurship training, and practice. Participants produced product innovations in the form of glutinous corn sticks, and demonstrated readiness to market their products independently. These findings confirm that local potential-based training can strengthen MSME motivation, increase product competitiveness, and open opportunities for village economic development. In conclusion, utilizing glutinous corn through diversified processed products not only supports the sustainability of MSMEs but can also be a strategy for economic empowerment based on local wisdom. Further research is recommended to explore digital marketing strategies and partnership models that can expand the reach of glutinous corn-based MSME products. Keywords : glutinous corn, msmes, training, processed products

Abstract

The misalignment between Village Regulations (Peraturan Desa—Perdes) and village development planning documents remains a critical challenge in village governance in Indonesia. Inconsistencies among Perdes, the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMDes), the Village Government Work Plan (RKPDes), and the Village Budget (APBDes) often result in unfocused programs and increased legal vulnerability. This community engagement initiative aimed to strengthen the capacity of village officials in implementing Perdes to ensure that development programs are legally grounded and institutionally legitimate. The program was conducted in Bondula and Bihe Villages, Gorontalo Regency, on September 9, 2025, involving 30 village officials. A Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach was employed through an intensive eight-hour training session. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test assessments, participatory observation, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The findings indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge, with average scores increasing from 4.2 to 7.8 (an 85.7% increase; p < 0.001). Performance indicators exceeded expectations: 100% of participants were able to identify regulatory mandates within Perdes, and 86.7% successfully drafted program proposals aligned with Perdes provisions. Key outputs included four Perdes-based village program drafts with a total budget allocation of IDR 750 million, a synchronization matrix integrating Perdes with RPJMDes–RKPDes–APBDes, and an implementation roadmap. The collaboration between academia and international development programs proved effective in enhancing village governance capacity and demonstrates strong potential for replication to support sustainable rural development in Indonesia. . Keywords:  Village apparatus capacity, sustainable development, village governance.

Abstract

Long-term use of synthetic chemical pesticides can have negative impacts on the environment and human health, while also leading to pest resistance. As an alternative, plant-based pesticides derived from local materials offer significant potential for supporting eco-friendly agriculture. This community service activity aimed to train participants in identifying and selecting local plant materials that could serve as sources of active ingredients for botanical pesticides, and to encourage a reduction in reliance on synthetic pesticides by adopting more environmentally friendly pest control methods. The methodology involved extracting active ingredients via ethanol soaking, followed by liquid formulation and testing on pest-infested plants. The results demonstrated that a combination of garlic, red chili, and papaya leaf extracts could significantly suppress pest populations, achieving an effectiveness rate of over 70% compared to the control. In conclusion, this botanical pesticide formulation offers a potential alternative for pest control that is cost-effective, easy to apply, and environmentally friendly, thereby supporting sustainable agricultural systems. Keywords: botanical pesticide, garlic, red chili, papaya leaf, crop pests.

Abstract

Accuracy of sales transaction data is a very important aspect in the preparation of financial reports. Mismatch of sales transaction data is one of the problems that can affect the accuracy of the preparation of financial reports, especially the profit and loss report. This problem was faced by CV Inti Media Pratama as a partner in managing the transaction data reconciliation process of one of the client companies, namely PT XYZ, which still showed data differences between Microsoft Excel and Accurate software so that the verification process took a longer time. This community service activity aims to support CV Inti Media Pratama through the implementation of reconciliation of client company transaction data using Accurate software to improve the effectiveness of the verification process and the reliability of financial information. The method used was the implementation and testing of data using Accurate software with a   participatory approach through the active involvement of students together with the administrative and accounting staff of CV Inti Media Pratama in the process of identifying problems, verifying documents, cross-checking, data reconciliation, and evaluating the results of the implementation of PT XYZ transaction data. The results of the activity showed that the implementation of reconciliation was able to improve the conformity of transaction data between Microsoft Excel and Accurate software through systematic identification and resolution of data discrepancies. This implementation supports the increased effectiveness of the reconciliation process carried out by students while also producing more consistent and reliable transaction data for PT XYZ as a basis for preparing profit and loss reports. Therefore, implementing data reconciliation using Accurate software is an alternative solution to support the quality of transaction data management services and the preparation of more accurate, effective, and sustainable financial reports.  Keywords: data reconciliation, Accurate software, profit and loss reports, accounting information systems, community service.

Abstract

Community empowerment is a crucial strategy for improving the quality of life in rural areas through capacity building, infrastructure development, and the enhancement of social awareness. This community service initiative aims to empower the residents of Huntu Selatan Village (Bulango Selatan District, Bone Bolango Regency) through infrastructure development and social education tailored to local needs. Key issues addressed include the maintenance of village facilities and infrastructure, limited access to information regarding higher education, low digital literacy, a lack of understanding concerning the risks of early marriage and legal aspects, limited health knowledge, and the underutilization of herbal plant potential. A participatory approach was employed, involving Universitas Gorontalo students (participating in the KKP program), village officials, schools, community leaders, youth groups, and the general public. The activity stages comprised field observation, needs identification, program planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. Implemented programs included renovating village boundary markers, conducting campus introduction sessions, educating students on the wise use of gadgets, and holding awareness sessions on early marriage, legal matters, and health, as well as establishing a Village Herbal Corner. Results indicate improvements in village boundary markers, increased access to higher education information for 41 students, digital literacy education regarding gadget usage for 32 students, and heightened community understanding through sessions on early marriage, law, and health—each attended by approximately 50 participants. Additionally, a Village Herbal Corner was successfully established to serve as a hub for education and the utilization of herbal plants. Overall, the activities positively impacted community knowledge, awareness, concern, and participation in supporting village development. Sustaining the program requires the continued involvement of the village government and the community through facility maintenance, program management, and periodic monitoring and evaluation. Keywords: Community service, community empowerment, infrastructure development, social education.
