IMPROVING INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT OF VILLAGE FUNDS IN ENCOURAGING THE INCREASE IN GOAT FARMERS' PRODUCTIVITY IN SUMBERSAWIT VILLAGE, SIDOREJO, MAGETAN, EAST JAVA
Abstract
The community service program in Sumbersawit Village, Sidorejo District, Magetan Regency, organized by the Department of Economics at UNAIR, aims to improve the institutional management of Village Funds to support the productivity of goat farmers. This program addresses various critical issues faced by local goat farmers, such as livestock breeding and care, while exploring the village's economic potential through the establishment of a livestock division within the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes). The activities include counseling by experts, direct discussions, and surveys conducted with the local government and farmers. The results of these activities show a significant increase in farmers' knowledge regarding selecting superior livestock and proper goat care. Additionally, the village government has gained a better understanding of how Village Funds can be used effectively to improve local economic activities, particularly through BUMDes. The survey conducted by the UNAIR team identified the village's economic potential, which can be further developed for sustainable growth. Plans for the next phase include providing technical assistance to farmers, establishing BUMDes, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation of economic impacts. This program demonstrates a collaborative approach between academic institutions and the local community, contributing both practical solutions to local economic challenges and broader academic discourse on rural development.
