Abstract

Weak personal financial management among santripreneurs remains a significant barrier to the sustainable growth of their businesses, particularly within Islamic educational institutions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured mentoring program in enhancing personal financial literacy and management practices among santripreneurs in the Islamic campus environment of Lamongan Regency, Indonesia. Employing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the program was implemented through four integrated stages: initial needs assessment, action planning, intervention execution, and reflective evaluation. A total of 40 participants were involved over a three-month period. The intervention consisted of training modules on financial record-keeping, budgeting, and the application of Islamic financial instruments. The findings revealed that 85% of participants successfully implemented the separation of personal and business finances, while 24.43% experienced an increase in business turnover. Furthermore, the utilization of Islamic financial services increased from 30% to 65% of participants. The reflective evaluation phase indicated a significant behavioral shift toward financial discipline, especially in cash flow monitoring and capital allocation. This study contributes to the literature on Islamic entrepreneurship by demonstrating the practical impact of financial mentoring in faith-based business environments and highlights the potential for replication in other Islamic boarding school settings.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance the financial literacy of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kampung Jajan, Brebek Village, Sidoarjo, by strengthening their capacity for basic financial record keeping. Utilizing a participatory approach, the program implemented a series of targeted training sessions and personalized mentoring activities over a two-month period, involving 25 MSME participants. Pre- and post-program assessments revealed a measurable increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of financial records, as indicated by a 40% average improvement in basic accounting comprehension scores. However, the intervention also identified persistent challenges, including low awareness of financial documentation benefits, the relatively older demographic of MSME actors, and limited formal education levels. While the program demonstrated short-term improvements in financial knowledge and attitudes, further interventions are necessary to ensure behavioral change, including continuous mentoring, the development of context-based accounting modules, and collaboration with local government units to institutionalize financial training support.

Abstract

Kampung Jajan Berbek Village, Sidoarjo Regency, is an MSME center area that focuses on the production and sale of traditional cakes involving around 30 business actors who produce from their respective homes. This study aims to identify the main challenges faced by MSME actors in carrying out their business activities, especially related to aspects of financial recording, access to capital, and utilization of digital technology. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach through field observation and semi-structured interviews with MSME actors. The study results show that most MSME actors still do not have an adequate financial recording system, some of which do not even record at all. In addition, limitations in accessing capital and low utilization of social media as a means of promotion are the main obstacles to business development. Based on these findings, this study recommends the need for intensive training in financial management and digital marketing, as well as facilitation of sustainable access to capital to support improving the performance and competitiveness of MSMEs in Kampung Jajan Berbek Village.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are critical to Indonesia's economic growth; however, they continue to face significant challenges, particularly limited access to broader markets. The integration of digital technology, especially e-commerce, presents a strategic opportunity to overcome these constraints. This community engagement initiative, in collaboration with Bank Jatim Pasar Besar Madiun and participants of the Certified Independent Study Internship Program (MSIB), aimed to enhance the digital capabilities of MSMEs through a structured mentorship program known as Friends of Power. This program provided tailored assistance in adopting digital marketing strategies and accessing online sales platforms. The intervention employed the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, emphasizing the utilization of local assets, and data were collected through systematic observation and documentation. Findings indicate that the application of digital tools and e-commerce strategies significantly contributed to increased visibility, business expansion, and income growth among participating MSMEs. This study demonstrates the potential of digitally-driven empowerment models to support MSME resilience and scalability, offering valuable insights for policymakers and development practitioners.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the quality of distributor services provided to retail consumers in Hamlet VIII, Air Hitam Village. The area has approximately five grocery stores that rely on wholesalers in the city to supply daily necessities. The large number of wholesalers in the city creates intense competition among distributors, encouraging them to improve service quality as a strategy to attract and retain customers. In the Islamic perspective, service quality reflects the principle of khidmah, which emphasizes sincere and excellent service. This study uses a qualitative field research approach, with data collected through direct observations and in-depth interviews with grocery store owners who interact directly with distributors. The analysis focuses on five Islamic service characteristics: honesty, responsibility, keeping promises, friendly service, and traders’ attitudes when dealing with customers. The results show that wholesalers in Tanjung Pura City have implemented these Islamic service values in their business practices. As a result, retail consumers experience satisfaction and loyalty, which in turn has a positive impact on the sustainability and competitiveness of distributors.

Abstract

Quality education is a crucial foundation for realizing a prosperous and competitive society, as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4: Quality Education. In Malang Regency, Islamic schools (madrasah) play a significant role in providing education to the community, with the number of elementary, junior high, and senior high schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, Tsanawiyah, and Aliyah) continuing to increase. However, the main challenges faced are teachers limited digital technology skills and a lack of understanding of the importance of social inclusion in education.

This program is expected to help madrasah teachers adopt digital technology and create a more inclusive and equitable educational environment. Partners face several challenges, such as limited digital access and skills, a lack of understanding of social inclusion, and a lack of ongoing training for teachers. Through this training, it is hoped that teachers will be able to utilize technology for more creative and effective learning and apply the principles of inclusivity in the teaching process. This program will support the transformation of madrasa education in Malang Regency towards more adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable education

Abstract

This program responds to the issue of stunting in Jombang Regency, namely the condition of growth failure in children due to malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of life, which threatens the quality of the generation facing 2045. Although the prevalence of stunting in Jombang (5.85% in early 2024) was below the national target (<14%), efforts to accelerate reduction are still needed in accordance with Regent Regulation No. 4 of 2022. This qualitative research aims to identify and analyze the implementation of integrated stunting reduction policies and their inhibiting factors. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document studies, then analyzed using Soren C. Winter's policy implementation theory which emphasizes three behavioral aspects: inter-organizational relationships, lower-level bureaucrats, and target groups. The results show that implementation is running quite well, as evidenced by the decrease in cases from 5,509 (2022) to 3,428 (September 2024). However, several indicators have not reached the target, especially related to the suboptimal behavior of lower-level bureaucrats. The identified obstacles serve as learning materials for improvement. Therefore, it is recommended that the performance of policy makers be optimized and the human resource capacity of lower-level implementers be enhanced. Collaboration with the public and private sectors also needs to be strengthened to optimize comprehensive preventive measures for stunting.
