| dc.description.abstract | The Village Fund Allocation (ADD) is a fund provided by the district/city
government in physical or non-physical development to the village. Non-physical Village
Fund Allocation (ADD) is in the form of community empowerment with the aim of
prospering both in terms of the economy or improving the quality of human resources who
were initially less prosperous to become prosperous and able to develop in human
resources. Kacaribu Village has community empowerment programs, namely programs
that use Village Fund Allocations including planned programs such as direct assistance to
toddlers and the elderly, mutual assistance activities, Youth Organization Training and
Customs Training in Kacaribu Village. This study aims to determine the Effectiveness of
Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in Community Empowerment in Kacaribu Village,
Kabanjahe District, Karo Regency.
The method used is descriptive qualitative research method. In conducting the
research, the researcher conducted interviews with the Village Head, the Head of the
Village Consultative Body (BPD), members of the Youth Organization and the Kacaribu
Village Community. Then also conduct observations and documentation to answer research
problems. In analyzing the data, data reduction, data presentation, and data inference were
carried out. The data obtained were then analyzed qualitatively with the theory of Richard
M. Steers (1985: 53) which suggests to see the achievement of goals, adaptation and
integration in the success of an effectiveness.
Based on the results of the research in the field, it can be concluded that the
effectiveness of the Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in Community Empowerment in
Kacaribu Village has not been effective in terms of achieving the goals, namely
transparency and policy targets where transparency to the community is less open and
people who should receive assistance do not receive the assistance. Adaptation where the
village apparatus has not been good where the apparatus cannot adapt to the changing
environment in the changes that occur and cannot respond to the challenges of such a fast
era such as reporting using an online system. Integration is a measure of the level of
village capacity that has not been optimal in conducting or delivering socialization to the
community and communication between organizations that have not gone well, which
triggers misunderstandings. The effectiveness of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in
Community Empowerment in Kacaribu Village has not been effective because the level of
transparency of the village government is not good and the level of community
participation as the goal of community empowerment is still relatively low. | en_US |
