Abstract

Background: Women entrepreneurs in rural coastal East Java play a crucial economic role but face limited participation in digital markets due to low practical digital literacy. Objective: This program aimed to enhance digital skills, confidence, and agency of women micro-entrepreneurs through a participatory empowerment approach. Method: A participatory action-oriented model was implemented, including needs assessment, training, mentoring, and collaboration with local institutions and women’s groups. Results: The program engaged 38 participants, with over 70% improving digital literacy and adopting social media for business promotion, alongside a shift toward hybrid online–offline practices supported by peer learning and a local UMKM digital community. Implication: These findings suggest that community-based, mentoring-driven digital literacy programs are effective in fostering sustainable and inclusive rural entrepreneurship. Novelty: The study introduces an integrated model combining participatory training, sustained mentoring, and village-level institutional support as a scalable framework for women’s digital economic empowerment.

Abstract

Background: Coastal communities in Indonesia continue to face persistent waste management challenges due to high plastic consumption, limited infrastructure, and low environmental awareness, particularly in fisheries-based settlements where daily economic activities generate concentrated waste streams. Objective: This program aimed to enhance environmental awareness and initiate behavioral change in household and coastal waste management through visual campaigns and participatory community engagement in Puger Kulon, Jember Regency. Method: A participatory implementation design was applied, involving contextual planning, visual educational media, community socialization, youth engagement, and short-term monitoring and evaluation. Results: The program reached approximately three-quarters of targeted households, increased awareness of plastic waste impacts, and stimulated early behavioral changes, including basic waste separation by about half of participants and reduced waste accumulation in key coastal areas, alongside emerging waste-conscious social norms. Implication: These findings suggest that visually driven, community-based interventions can effectively initiate environmental awareness and behavior change, although long-term sustainability requires stronger infrastructural and institutional support. Novelty: The program introduces an integrated model combining place-based visual communication, participatory engagement, and light mentoring as a practical and replicable approach for improving coastal waste governance.

Abstract

Background: Rural pesantren communities in East Java play a central role in socio-religious life, yet many santri and micro-entrepreneurs lack adequate literacy in Islamic microfinance, limiting access to halal financial services. Objective: This program aimed to strengthen Islamic microfinance literacy and facilitate institutional access for pesantren-based micro-entrepreneurs through a participatory, community-centered approach. Method: A backward-designed framework was applied, integrating needs assessment, contextualized training, simulation-based learning, sustained mentoring, and collaboration with local sharia financial institutions. Results: The program improved participants’ understanding of Islamic financial contracts, increased confidence in financial decision-making, and encouraged formal engagement with sharia microfinance services, alongside the strengthening of collective economic groups and institutional linkages within pesantren communities. Implication: These findings suggest that participatory and mentoring-based financial literacy programs can effectively enhance access to inclusive and faith-based financial systems in rural contexts. Novelty: The program introduces a pesantren-based model that combines experiential learning, sustained mentoring, and institutional collaboration as a scalable approach to Islamic microfinance empowerment beyond conventional short-term training.

Abstract

Background: Coastal communities in Indonesia increasingly face tidal flooding, shoreline change, mangrove pressure, drainage disruption, and livelihood insecurity, yet residents’ everyday knowledge of these risks often remains outside formal adaptation planning. Objective: This community engagement program aimed to transform coastal residents in Pesisir and Klaseman, Probolinggo, from passive beneficiaries of climate assistance into citizen knowledge producers capable of observing, documenting, validating, and communicating local climate evidence. Method: This program applied a participatory citizen science model through partner coordination, needs assessment, climate literacy orientation, observation training, participatory mapping, field monitoring, community validation, micro-adaptation action, and sustainability planning. Results: This program prepared a community-based monitoring architecture involving village actors, fishers, aquaculture workers, women’s groups, youth, environmental cadres, and university facilitators. This program produced observation instruments, participatory risk maps, photo logs, livelihood narratives, validated risk themes, adaptation priorities, and a local monitoring schedule for continued community use. Implication: This program also strengthened residents’ practical capacity to convert lived experience of coastal risk into locally discussable evidence for village-level adaptation. Novelty: The novelty of this program lies in integrating citizen science, local ecological knowledge, and community-led adaptation into an empirically grounded empowerment model that treats coastal residents as producers, validators, and users of climate knowledge.

Abstract

Background: Rural renewable energy initiatives are increasingly central to Indonesia’s green transition, yet their social value depends on whether benefits, costs, decisions, and ownership responsibilities are distributed fairly among community members. Objective: This community engagement program aimed to strengthen energy justice and community ownership in Desa Andungbiru by mapping local energy benefits, preparing participatory governance tools, and supporting community-led monitoring of renewable energy use. Method: Methodologically, this program combined participatory planning, climate and energy literacy orientation, citizen science training, community observation, validation forums, micro-adaptation mentoring, and monitoring-evaluation involving village authorities, energy managers, women’s groups, youth, farmers, and productive users. Results: Planning activities produced partner coordination records, needs assessment tools, stakeholder maps, justice-oriented instruments, a monitoring schedule, and a reflection forum design. Implementation activities documented orientation activities, citizen observation practices, reporting templates, validation meetings, community reflection, and small-scale action plans for productive and household energy use. Implication: Monitoring-evaluation activities reviewed participation, assessed capacity indicators, audited data quality, validated community findings, and drafted sustainability mechanisms for continued local oversight. Novelty: The novelty of this program lies in reframing rural renewable energy assistance beyond infrastructure delivery alone as a community-owned energy justice audit that integrates local knowledge, citizen-generated data, transparent governance, and adaptive capacity collectively for villages.

Abstract

Background: Underserved communities in Kecamatan Paiton, Kabupaten Probolinggo, face unequal capacity to interpret and shape AI-assisted services despite living in a subdistrict of 67,709 residents within a regency where poverty reached 16.31% in 2025. Objective: This community engagement program aimed to co-design inclusive AI service scenarios with 30–50 community participants, including women microentrepreneurs, youth, village cadres, small farmers, pesantren/community learners, and coastal residents. Method: This program used a planning–implementation–monitoring-evaluation design supported by baseline surveys, attendance sheets, observation checklists, product rubrics, pre-post questionnaires, FGD guides, and partner validation forms. Results: Planning results were organized around 2–3 coordination meetings, 30–50 targeted needs-assessment responses, 4–6 stakeholder groups, and 3–5 prepared instruments. Implementation results were structured through 1 orientation session, 2–4 core workshops, 4–8 weeks of mentoring, ≥60–70% targeted output completion, and 5–8 documented AI service practice products. Implication: Monitoring-evaluation results used ≥75% attendance, ≥20% capacity improvement benchmarks, 1–2 validation forums, 1 institutional follow-up plan, and a 3–6 month sustainability review as evaluation indicators. Novelty: The novelty of this program lies in integrating participatory AI co-design, simple quantitative monitoring, community reflection, and institutional follow-up into a data-based community development model.
