Village income is used to fund village administration, as well as for village
development, empowering village communities and building village
infrastructure. One of the resources outside the village is the Allocation of Funds
from the local government in the form of Allocation of Village Funds. Allocation
of village funds implies that the village has the authority to regulate and manage
its household in accordance with the original and given authority, which concerns
the role of the village government as a public service provider in the village and
as a companion in the process of planning and implementing regional
development involving community at the village level . However, the Allocation of
Village Funds in community empowerment in Tanah Merah Village, Air Putih
District, Batu Bara Regency, there are still problems such as delays in incoming
village funds, there are problems related to village heads who do not come from
the village itself, the empowerment carried out is only maintenance of tertiary
irrigation channels/ simple. This study aims to determine and describe in detail
the effectiveness of village fund allocationthe in community empowerment in
Tanah Merah Village, Air Putih District, Batu Bara Regency.
The method used is descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data
collection techniques were carried out by interviews, observation and
documentation related to the effectiveness of village fund allocations in
community empowerment in Tanah Merah Village, Air Putih District, Batu Bara

Lubis and Huseini effectiveness approach which suggests that there are three
approaches to effectiveness, namely the source, process and target approaches.
The results showed that the effectiveness of village fund allocation in
community empowerment in Tanah Merah Village, Air Putih District, Batu Bara
Regency was still not effective. In terms of the source approach, it is still not
effective because the funds that were realized for the maintenance of simple
irrigation channels were diverted for Covid-19 financial assistance, but in terms
of human resources it has been said to be effective. In the process approach, in
terms of efficiency in service it is still not effective, where the use of ADD for
community empowerment used for BLT is not in accordance with the aspects of
empowerment according to Friedman namely enabling, empowering and
protecting, but in terms of facilities and infrastructure as well as collaboration
and work loyalty between Employees are effective. In terms of the target
approach, it is still not effective, because the empowerment carried out by the Tanah Merah Village government is only the maintenance of simple or tertiary
irrigation channels, besides that the implementation of ADD for empowerment is
diverted to BLT, then BLT experiences overlapping. | en_US |
