Purpose: This community service aimed to improve the capacity of village apparatus and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in managing village administration and financial reporting based on accountability and transparency principles. Methodology/approach: The activity was conducted in Bajo Village, Tilamuta Sub-district, Boalemo Regency. A participatory workshop method was applied, involving lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice. The materials covered included village administrative document management, simple bookkeeping, and financial report preparation in accordance with applicable regulations. The program utilized printed materials, Microsoft Excel for bookkeeping exercises, and interactive group discussions to enhance participants’ understanding. Results/findings: The activity improved participants’ knowledge, technical skills, and awareness regarding good governance practices. Village apparatus became more capable of preparing administrative records and cash-based accrual financial reports. Participants also demonstrated a positive shift in attitude towards the importance of transparency and accountability in financial management. Conclusion: The activity enhanced village governance capacity, showing that training and assistance are key to improving accountability and professionalism in administrative and financial management. Limitations: The program was limited in scope to basic administrative and financial management and did not cover advanced digital tools due to limited digital literacy and infrastructure at the village level. Contribution: This activity contributes to the field of public administration, particularly in strengthening local governance at the village level. It supports capacity building for rural institutions and provides a practical model for other community engagement initiatives in administrative and financial training.

Purpose: This community service program aims to strengthen the management capacity of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Bongo III Village, Wonosari District, Boalemo Regency. The goal is to enhance the community's knowledge, skills, and awareness to manage BUMDes professionally, participatively, and sustainably based on local potential. Methodology/approach: The activity was conducted on April 26–27, 2025, in Bongo III Village using a participatory-experiential workshop method. The program applied adult learning principles and the experiential learning cycle (concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, active experimentation) through interactive discussions, group simulations, and business plan development sessions. Data collection was conducted through field observations and in-depth interviews with village stakeholders. No specific software was used. Results/findings: The training increased participants’ understanding of BUMDes institutional concepts, improved managerial skills, and fostered community awareness regarding the importance of transparent and accountable governance. Participants successfully developed a preliminary business revitalization plan based on local agricultural and fisheries commodities. Conclusion: The training strengthened community capacity to manage BUMDes professionally and encouraged active local economic participation. Limitations: The activity was limited in duration (two days) and did not yet include long-term mentoring or monitoring of BUMDes implementation. Contribution: This study contributes to the field of community development, rural economic empowerment, and public administration by providing a contextual model for institutional capacity building at the village level. It is relevant to academics, practitioners, and policymakers involved in rural governance and economic development.

Purpose: This community engagement activity aimed to improve the knowledge and technical skills of rural communities in Desa Bongo III, Kecamatan Wonosari, Kabupaten Boalemo, in processing local agricultural produce—specifically bananas—into value-added products such as banana flour. The goal is to enhance food processing capacity while promoting local entrepreneurship. Methodology/approach: The program employed a participatory approach involving 25 community members, including housewives, village youth, and microentrepreneurs. The training introduced step-by-step banana flour production techniques: selecting ripe bananas, peeling, soaking, sun-drying bananas, and grinding them into flour using using locally available tools such as household ovens and Blender. Data were collected through participatory observation, informal interviews, and documentation and were then analyzed qualitatively. Results/findings: The training received enthusiastic responses from the participants, who quickly adapted to the processing methods. Many participants gained new insights into the economic potential of banana-based products, with several expressing interest in developing value-added derivatives, such as cookies, baby food, and cakes. The training also encouraged collaboration, increased motivation to start small businesses, and aligned with community-based development practices in the area. Conclusion: The activity effectively enhanced technical skills and opened up opportunities for economic empowerment. With sustained support, it holds promise as a model of rural microenterprise development. Limitations: Key challenges included limited access to drying and grinding equipment, dependence on weather for sun-drying, and minimal knowledge of product packaging and marketing. Contribution: The program contributes to rural development by linking local resources with practical skills, promoting entrepreneurship, and offering a replicable model for other regions aiming to empower communities through local agro-product innovation.
