Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in regional economic development, yet many MSME owners lack a Business Identification Number (NIB). This community service aimed to enhance business legality and competitiveness through NIB registration assistance in Simoangin-angin Village, Wonoayu, as part of the BPS Statistics Office's Desa Cantik (Statistics-Loving Village) program. The methods used were socialization and assistance, both in-person and online. The program involved 80 micro-business owners, resulting in 12 NIBs created during direct assistance and 28 NIBs through online assistance. Main obstacles included technological limitations and lack of response in online processes. The program successfully increased MSME owners' understanding of NIB importance and statistical literacy, while providing broader access to business development opportunities

Abstract

This service program focuses on empowering Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the MMS Pogalan area by BTPN Syariah. The aim of the activity is to identify the implementation of mentoring programs, analyze supporting and inhibiting factors, and provide an impact on customer business development. The method implemented is carried out through direct training and socialization using interview techniques, using SWOT analysis to share the potential and challenges of MSMEs. Mentoring is carried out over four sessions, with each session lasting one month and four meetings. The results of the service show a significant impact on various aspects of the business. Economically, there is an increase in turnover with the expansion of the marketing reach. The managerial aspect has undergone a transformation with the ability of MSME players to carry out simple bookkeeping, separate personal and business finances, and make sustainable financial plans. Branding and marketing are developing with the creation of brand identities and the use of social media for promotions. The most basic psychological and social impact is increasing the self-confidence, motivation and adaptability of business actors. Even though it can overcome limited resources and traditional cultural barriers, the BTPN Syariah mentoring program proves that empowering MSMEs requires a comprehensive approach that goes beyond just financial assistance, covering managerial, psychological and socio-economic aspects.

Abstract

This study aims to explore strategies to increase community participation in regional tax payments through the use of social media by the Surabaya Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda). Local taxes are one of the important sources of revenue for local governments, and increasing public participation is essential for sustainable urban development. Social media, with its wide reach, real-time interactions, and engaging content, provides an effective communication tool to increase public awareness and participation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to research Bapenda's strategy, the challenges faced, and the effectiveness of the use of social media in tax education. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews with key informants, participatory observations, and documentation of Bapenda's social media activities. The results of the study show that Bapenda Surabaya utilizes platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to disseminate various content, such as infographics, educational videos, and payment reminders, to engage the public. Social media has proven to be effective in reaching a wider audience, especially the younger generation, although there are still challenges in terms of accessibility for older age groups and people who are less familiar with digital platforms. The study also identified key obstacles, such as resource constraints, technical challenges, and community skepticism. Recommendations for improvement include the use of simpler language, expanding the use of traditional media along with digital platforms, and increasing transparency regarding the use of tax funds. This research contributes to understanding how social media can be used to increase participation in local tax payments, which in turn supports the development of the city of Surabaya

Abstract

The success of cooperatives in supporting farmers through capital loan programs and agricultural education depends on their ability to overcome key challenges, such as the dependence of farmers' income on the harvest season and the risk of crop failure due to extreme weather. To overcome this, the Sawiran cooperative developed an educational program that includes mulching drip irrigation techniques, allowing farmers to plant out-of-season and make optimal use of land. In addition, crop diversification is encouraged to increase farmers' income and reduce the risks resulting from dependence on one type of crop. Capital loans from cooperatives provide flexibility for farmers to manage farming finances, such as buying seeds, fertilizer or agricultural equipment. With initial capital, farmers can increase productivity and quality of harvest using modern technology introduced by cooperatives. In addition, the close relationship between cooperatives and farmers supports the financial stability of cooperatives and opens up opportunities for farmers to become permanent members. The benefits of this program include earlier harvests at higher selling prices, reduced risk of losses due to certain planting seasons, and diversification of farming businesses which increases farmers' economic resilience. However, the government's role is needed to complement cooperative efforts in providing comprehensive access to education and technology. It is hoped that good collaboration can create sustainable solutions to improve the welfare of farmers in the Ngadisari region
