Abstract

Marriage guidance is a program initiated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs to equip engaged couples with the knowledge and skills needed to build and maintain a harmonious and sustainable family life. However, despite the many programs designed to prepare couples for marriage, divorce rates have continued to increase over the past ten years. Collaboration between academic institutions and the government, represented in this context by the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA/Kantor Urusan Agama), plays a vital role in nation-building efforts through the implementation of premarital preparation programs. The KUA has consistently facilitated this program as a preventive measure to address the increasing divorce rate. The premarital course is designed to (1) encourage community involvement in supporting the formation of sakinah (harmonious) families, (2) raise awareness of the importance of adequate preparation before marriage, and (3) integrate psychological and Islamic economic perspectives into marriage readiness initiatives. The program used several methods, including (1) structured discussions during training sessions, (2) interviews, and (3) analysis and evaluation of field data and training outcomes. The findings indicate that the government’s role in Kapanewon Ngemplak has been effectively carried out in collaboration with local university academics. This initiative received positive responses for contributing to better-prepared marriages. Nevertheless, maintaining family harmony remains a challenge, because efforts to build family resilience must continue beyond the wedding ceremony. Premarital training was conducted not only to prevent divorce but, more importantly, to address and prevent conflicts before they lead to divorce.

Abstract

Micro-entrepreneurs in Indonesia, particularly those in the informal sector, often face difficulties in financial management because of limited knowledge of basic cash flow practices. To address this issue, a community engagement program was conducted for members of Komunitas Sukses Berjamaah Indonesia (KSBI) in South Jakarta, with a focus on simple cash flow management training. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the program involved 25 micro-entrepreneurs through the stages of diagnosis, action, evaluation, and reflection. The training modules covered income and expense tracking, cash flow forecasting, and emergency fund planning. Pre-and post-test results showed a significant improvement in participants’ financial literacy, with the overall mean score increasing from 54.5 to 85.3. Participant feedback also indicated strongly positive responses, with 95% reporting an improved ability to separate personal and business finances and all participants expressing greater confidence in making financial decisions. In addition, 85% of participants planned to build emergency savings after the training. Overall, the program strengthened basic financial management skills and encouraged more structured financial practices among micro-entrepreneurs.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented to enhance the marketing capabilities of rural economic actors across several regions in Central Sulawesi and North Maluku, specifically Poso, North Morowali, Banggai, Sigi, Tolitoli, West Halmahera, and South Halmahera. Participants included Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), Toko Tani (Farmer Shop), farmers, and micro-entrepreneurs. Many participants experienced difficulties in identifying their customer segments and implementing effective promotional strategies, and they often relied on conventional marketing methods with limited reach and poorly defined targeting. To address these challenges, selected participants from the regions were brought together for centralized training in Palu using a participatory learning-and-action approach that emphasized customer profiling and promotional strategy development. The results showed measurable improvements in participants’ understanding of promotional concepts, as indicated by an increase in correct post-test responses on promotional tools from 82\% to 91\%. In addition, early uptake of digital promotion practices was observed, with several participants initiating online product promotion through social media platforms. Overall, the program demonstrates that participatory marketing training can strengthen the customer-oriented capabilities of rural enterprises and support scalable and sustainable community empowerment models in rural areas.

Abstract

Members of Family Welfare Empowerment (FWE) in Jetis Hamlet, Malang, face challenges related to suboptimal family productivity and limited residential land. This community service initiative aimed to enhance family productivity by training 15 FWE members in aquaponic cultivation and harvest processing. Using intensive mentoring and a learning-by-doing approach, the program was conducted from July to December 2025 and included system installation, the maintenance of catfish (Clarias sp.) and vegetables, and product diversification. Evaluation using pretest and posttest instruments showed a substantial increase in participant capacity. Average knowledge scores increased from 37 to 82, whereas technical skills in system installation and product processing improved from 52 to 81. In addition to cultivation, participants successfully transformed harvested products into value-added products, namely Abon Aquale (catfish floss) and Keripik Viggieponik (vegetable chips). The results demonstrate that aquaponics is a viable urban farming approach for improving food security and economic independence among households with limited land.

Abstract

This article examines the shift in Indonesia’s family planning program from a centralized model to the participatory Kampung Keluarga Berkualitas (Quality Family Village), formerly Kampung KB, approach. Despite this shift, a substantial gap persists between policy objectives and grassroots realities, particularly in relation to patriarchal structures that constrain women’s autonomy and the limited implementation of interventions that promote genuine empowerment. Based on a qualitative case study of Kampung KB Bugel in Yogyakarta, this study employed a hybrid data collection strategy adapted to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through a combination of on-site observations, virtual interviews, and focus group discussions, along with a review of official BKKBN (National Population and Family Planning Board) documents. The findings indicate that local working groups, Pokja (working groups), and community service initiatives established institutional frameworks and generated small-scale economic benefits through UPPKS (Family Income Improvement Program) microenterprises. Although this participatory model generated meaningful community interest, it continued to face significant obstacles. A central concern was that women’s involvement in working groups and economic programs unintentionally increased their double burden. In addition, limited budgets, overlapping programs, and insufficient understanding among village government actors constrained program implementation. Ultimately, this article argues that unless deeply rooted patriarchal norms are addressed, Kampung KB risks creating an illusion of empowerment rather than advancing substantive gender equity. To prevent this outcome, policies designed at higher administrative levels must be better synchronized with the everyday realities of grassroots communities.
