Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Neighborhood Association (RT) fund policy in supporting community empowerment programs in RT 11, Belimbing Sub-district, BTN PKT Bontang Housing Complex. The government allocates Rp 50 million to each RT for empowerment activities; however, community participation in programs such as MSME training, urban farming, and supplementary feeding for toddlers remains relatively low. Participation typically ranges from 12–15 residents (60–75%) out of the 20-person quota, despite adequate funding. The objective of this study is to analyze factors influencing the implementation of the RT fund policy using George C. Edward III's policy implementation framework, which includes four variables: communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using purposive sampling. Twelve informants participated, including the Head of Belimbing Sub-district, the Head of RT 11, and eight community residents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The findings show that communication functions effectively through formal meetings and WhatsApp groups. Resources are considered adequate, including financial support, facilities, and technical assistance, with funds distributed in the form of goods rather than cash. The disposition of implementers reflects a strong commitment, though some residents face limitations due to work schedules. The bureaucratic structure also operates regularly through community deliberation mechanisms. Overall, the implementation of the RT fund policy runs relatively well, supported by the four variables proposed by Edward III. Nevertheless, increasing community participation remains a challenge due to socioeconomic factors, particularly work commitments and time constraints. These findings suggest the importance of flexible program scheduling to accommodate working residents better and enhance participation in government-funded empowerment programs.

Abstract

This community service program aims to empower residents of RW 01 Sukamulia, Kemayoran District, Central Jakarta through entrepreneurship training based on local MSME products. Preliminary assessment indicated that many residents were engaged in small-scale home-based enterprises but faced constraints related to limited entrepreneurial knowledge, weak financial management, inadequate product packaging and branding, and low utilization of digital marketing platforms. The program was implemented using a participatory capacity-building approach that integrated entrepreneurship education, simple business management, product development, packaging and branding improvement, and digital marketing training. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-training assessments, direct observation of product improvements, and follow-up monitoring of early business performance. The results indicate improvements in participants’ entrepreneurial understanding, enhanced product presentation, and initial adoption of digital marketing practices. These outcomes suggest that locally grounded entrepreneurship training can contribute to strengthening MSME capacity and supporting community-based economic empowerment in urban settings.

Abstract

This community service program aims to strengthen the marketing capacity of micro and small business actors in RT 008/010, Semper Barat, North Jakarta through digital marketing-based empowerment. Preliminary assessment revealed that most MSME actors relied on conventional marketing methods and possessed limited digital literacy, which constrained their ability to expand market reach and improve sales performance. The program was implemented using a participatory capacity-building approach that integrated digital marketing training, basic branding and content creation, and hands-on mentoring in the use of social media and online business platforms. Program outcomes were evaluated through pre- and post-training assessments, observation of changes in promotional practices, and short-term monitoring of early market responses. The results indicate improvements in participants’ digital literacy, promotional skills, and initial engagement with online marketing channels. Although early economic impacts were modest, the observed behavioral changes provide a foundation for longer-term business development. These findings suggest that community-based digital marketing empowerment can contribute to strengthening MSME competitiveness and supporting local economic resilience in urban communities.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play an essential role in strengthening local economies and creating employment opportunities. However, many MSMEs still face limitations in digital literacy, market access, and business management efficiency. This community service activity aimed to enhance MSME capacity through an entrepreneurship seminar focusing on digitalization. The seminar was conducted in Sabila Village, Mallawa District, Maros Regency, involving 40 MSME actors from various business sectors. The activity employed a participatory andragogical approach consisting of interactive presentations, group discussions, and practical demonstrations. The results indicate that participants experienced increased understanding of digital marketing strategies, improved awareness of online marketplace utilization, and enhanced motivation to adopt technology for business efficiency. The seminar also facilitated collaboration among MSME actors and generated practical strategies for market expansion. The findings confirm that digital entrepreneurship seminars serve as effective tools for MSME empowerment and contribute to sustainable local economic development.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to develop innovative packaging for seafood products as an effort to increase the added value, shelf life, and marketing potential of Ambulu Village’s flagship products in Losari District, Cirebon Regency. The program partners were Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) cadres who manage Kafe Jukung, a culinary business unit that offers various seafood dishes and still depends on the availability of fresh ingredients from local fishers’ catches. The activity was conducted over six months, from June to November 2025, through several stages: preliminary observation, product development by an interdisciplinary team, packaging design, product shelf-life testing, nutritional content analysis, training in packaging techniques, and sustainability evaluation. The results show that three main dishes—blekutak masak hitam, sweet-and-sour shrimp, and smoked sembilang fish mangut—were successfully developed into ready-to-eat products with innovative packaging that is informative, hygienic, and visually attractive. Shelf-life testing showed that the products remained suitable for consumption after sterilization, storage, and reheating. Nutritional analysis showed that all three products met the criteria for low-fat claims. Training and mentoring improved the PKK cadres’ skills in standardized packaging processes, enabling them to perform the procedures independently. This program strengthened partner capacity and opened marketing opportunities for seafood products as distinctive Ambulu souvenir foods with strong competitiveness.
