Abstract

The Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM Desa) is a strategic planning document formulated for a six-year period, outlining the village’s vision, mission, policy directions, and development priorities. The preparation of the RPJM Desa is carried out by the village government in collaboration with representatives from various community sectors. Parikesit Village, located in Kejajar District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java Province, holds potential as a nature-based tourism village that could improve the community's economic welfare. However, it is also categorized as a landslide-prone area with a relatively high risk of natural disasters. This community service activity was implemented in collaboration with the Parikesit Village Government through the dissemination of indicators and technical guidance on RPJM Desa formulation to both the community and village officials. The program employed a participatory approach involving socialization and facilitation to ensure active engagement of all village stakeholders. The primary objective of this activity was to enhance stakeholders’ understanding of the indicators and procedures for preparing the RPJM Desa in accordance with national guidelines. The results of this program indicate a significant improvement in the understanding of both community members and village officials regarding the preparation of an RPJM Desa document that aligns with the village’s local potential and actual needs. This activity has contributed to strengthening the village’s institutional capacity for participatory and locally grounded medium-term development planning.

Abstract

Internal quality assurance in schools is a crucial aspect in efforts to improve the quality of education. The application of information technology, such as the SIMAKER S/M application, offers a potential solution to optimize the quality assurance process. This community service aims to provide SIMAKER S/M application training in conducting internal quality assurance in schools in Semarang City. This community service consists of four main stages: (1) Socialization through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), (3) Mentoring, and (4) Evaluation; user satisfaction surveys show that the SIMAKER S/M application greatly facilitates school administration work related to internal quality assurance in schools. The average user satisfaction score is 4.24 for ease of use, 4.42 for increased transparency, and 4.48 for overall benefits. The implementation of the application also succeeded in helping training participants related to the implementation of internal quality assurance and facilitating more accurate reporting. From the results of the community service activities, the results of the responses and feedback from participants were considered very useful in efforts to conduct internal quality assurance in digital-based schools. After conducting self-evaluation through internal quality assurance, it is hoped that schools can follow up on aspects that need to be improved.

Abstract

Environmental awareness, when nurtured from an early age, can develop into a positive habit that becomes embedded in one’s daily life. This community service partnership program was implemented at PAUD Mutiara Kids in Temanggung as a concrete step to build environmental awareness among young learners. Based on evaluations conducted by the community service team, 92% of the students were already able to distinguish between organic and non-organic waste. However, practical skills in waste utilization were still lacking, particularly in using recycled materials for educational purposes. In addition, environmental values had not yet been integrated into students’ daily routines. To address these issues, the “Zero-Waste Lifestyle” program was introduced as a strategic solution to empower teachers, students, and school staff. The program consisted of three key activities: (1) Introducing and promoting the “Zero-Waste Lifestyle” as a method for developing environmental literacy, (2) Facilitating collaborative workshops to create educational toys from recycled materials through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), and (3) Cultivating environmentally responsible behavior through consistent waste sorting habits. The program led to positive behavioral changes in students, particularly in waste management, and helped foster an environmental awareness aligned with the broader goals of sustainable development.

Abstract

Kalisalak Village is one of the villages in Batang Regency, the increase in the number of MSME actors in the village has not been accompanied by maximum efforts in improving the quality of MSME products themselves such as low business license management of both NIB, PIRT, HAKI and halal certification by MSME actors. The problems faced by MSME actors in Kalisalak Village result in a lack of competitiveness from existing MSME products, resulting in suboptimal sales. This community service aims to solve the problems experienced by partners, namely through education and socialization about business legality, halal certification on MSME products, and assistance in managing halal certification on products owned by MSMEs. This service helps the realization of the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), especially number 8, namely equitable village economic growth. The Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method was used to educate villagers on how to obtain business legality and halal certification, including the requirements. MSMEs gained a deeper understanding of the importance of halal products and business legality through MSME training and mentoring. Quantitatively, three MSMEs are planning to start the NIB management process, and one other person has shown serious interest in applying for halal certification.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kalisalak Village, Batang Regency, have great potential in producing local products such as gethuk, jenang, dodol, herbal drinks, and tea. However, most products still face challenges in branding and packaging, including the absence of labels, barcodes, and legal certification, as well as simple and unattractive packaging that reduces market competitiveness. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge, skills, and awareness of MSME actors regarding the importance of branding through product packaging that is appealing, informative, and meets industrial standards. The program involved 30 participants, including MSME owners and residents interested in starting new businesses. The team designed the activities using participatory methods, conducting seminars, practical training, group discussions, mentoring, and gamification to strengthen participants' engagement and understanding. The team implemented the process in three stages: preparation, execution, and evaluation, and used pretest and posttest instruments to support the evaluation. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants' knowledge and skills, with most participants producing improved packaging designs and showing commitment to applying them to their products. Overall, the program effectively addressed partners' needs and strengthened the competitiveness of local MSME products in broader markets.

Abstract

The regional autonomy program grants greater authority to local governments to manage their potential, improve public services, and encourage community participation. Ensuring public services are efficient and community-oriented poses distinct difficulties for village officials. Village officials’ service quality is significantly influenced by their competency. A lack of public speaking proficiency among village officials can obstruct effective message delivery and weaken public participation. This community service initiative aims to enhance the soft skills of village officials through public speaking training based on simulation method. This method enables participants to simulate situations similar to real-life conditions, enhancing comprehension, memory, and hands-on skills. The training combines oral teaching with hands-on practice, which is considered effective for experience-based learning. Training evaluation results indicate an improvement in participants’ understanding and skills related to fundamental public speaking techniques. The findings from this activity also emphasize the importance of training designs that are adaptive to participants’ needs, including the necessity for longer allocated time for simulation sessions and the use  of additional learning media such as representative public speaking practice videos. The sustainability of the program will be strengthened through additional competency training fit with field needs and involving Karang Taruna to form an inclusive and participatory public communication ecosystem from an early age.

Abstract

This community engagement program aimed to enhance the capacity of Indonesian migrant workers’ microenterprises in Kuala Lumpur through training and implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Quality Control (QC). Based on a preliminary survey, most business owners lacked fundamental skills in production management and quality control, resulting in inconsistent product quality. The program was conducted on May 18, 2025, involving 35 microenterprise participants. Activities included theoretical training and practical simulations on SOP development and QC application. Evaluation was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests, which revealed a significant improvement in the participants' average score from 45.25 to 83.75, with the most notable increase observed in the ability to draft QC guidelines. The results demonstrated that the application of SOP and QC can effectively improve product consistency, quality, and competitiveness. However, challenges remained in the implementation process, such as time constraints, limited equipment, and low technical literacy. Therefore, follow-up strategies such as ongoing mentorship, the use of visual SOPs, and the establishment of peer learning communities are essential to ensure sustainability.

Abstract

MSMEs are an integral part of advancing the rural economy and realizing the SDGs at the grassroots/village level. Many rural MSMEs often seem not to feel the full impact of this potential, as they are hindered by a lack of digital literacy, limited application of marketing strategies, and only weak ties to the economy. The primary objective of this program is to enhance the economic potential of MSMEs in Kalisidi Village, West Ungaran District, Semarang Regency, by utilizing an online cooperative application. A total of 30 MSMEs in Kalisidi Village participated in a community service program that included explanations and group coaching. Some of these activities included community training, presentations, and simulated use of a digital platform for a cooperative. The findings indicated that the trainees developed a deeper understanding of digital marketing and had high confidence in leveraging technology to conduct business. The digital platform also established an integrated business environment for MSMEs, facilitating collaboration in branding, shared resource deployment, and new market entry. This initiative demonstrates that implementing a digital cooperative model can effectively catalyze inclusive and sustainable economic development in rural areas. Furthermore, it contributes to the achievement of several SDG targets, particularly SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth) and SDG 811 (sustainable cities and communities). Digital integration rooted in local potential is key to building a resilient and independent village economy.
