Pemberdayaan Masyarakat oleh Pemerintah Desa Karowa di Kec. Tompaso baru

Abstract

This research aims to analyze and describe the role of the village government in community economic empowerment efforts in Karowa Village, Tompasobaru District. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. The number of informants in this study was 4 people. Data collection uses observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis through data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that the village government still has low knowledge or ignorance in carrying out its functions due to the government's lack of attention in efforts to improve the performance of the apparatus and in this case it must also be supported by other elements, in Minahasa Regency specifically the Community Empowerment Agency and the new Village Government Early 2004 paid more attention to villages, especially improving the performance of village government officials. Even though there has been attention or efforts to improve the performance of the Village Government apparatus, it has not been implemented optimally, this can be seen from the village administration not being good and most clearly not a single village in Minahasa Regency has a Village Regulation even though it is very important for the village as a reference for their work. Based on several conditions as written above since Regional Autonomy in 2001, the Minahasa Regency government has made improvements, especially increasing the human resources of the Village Government, namely through the Village Community Empowerment Service. And this cannot be separated from the active role of society and other elements.
