One of the recommendations from the 2013 socioeconomic research was the implementation of CSR/PKPO for the community around the Jambaran-Tiung Biru Unitization Field Gas Development Project . ereinafter referred to as PPG-JTB) through a program in the economic field, it was community economic empowerment that relies on independence, sustainability, and increased One of the important aspects of community economic empowerment that is planned to be developed is related to the sustainability of livelihoods in order to increase the independence and welfare of the community around the JTB Project In realizing the commitment. PT Pertamina EP Cepu (PEPC) implements community economic empowerment, with the Program for Capacity Building and Organizational Governance of Makmur Rejo Village Owned Enterprise. This program focused on each stage, including the startup stage, business strengthening, and business independence. The business pilot stage aimed to open a Village Owned Enterprises business. The business strengthening stage aimed to strengthen existing start-up businesses and the business independence stage aimed to provide technical assistance to Village Owned Enterprises so that it becomes independent, not dependent on PEPC assistance, and able create business partnerships with other parties which is an exit program strategy. In 2017, the pilot phase of the program was carried out, by providing assistance to Village Owned Enterprises in the form of chicken cultivation production facilities for 1,500 laying hens, as well as other production facilities in the form of cages and supporting facilities as well as operational costs for the Village Owned Enterprises. 2018 the stage of strengthening the business was continued by providing assistance for production facilities of 2500 laying hens. In addition to laying hens that are ready for production, they will also be provided with cages, offices, and improvement of management knowledge and skills. Furthermore, in 2020 the independence stage will be implemented.

Regulation of Village Minister No. 4 of 2015 concerning the establishment, management and dissolution of village-owned enterprises. The regulation provides an opportunity for villages to prosper their citizens through village-owned enterprises. With Village owned Enterprises, it is mandated to develop productive economic businesses . eal secto. and the financial services The aims and objectives of the Village and Empowerment program through Village owned Enterprises in Bandungrejo Village. Ngasem Sub-District. Bojonegoro Regency were . Contributing to efforts to improve community welfare implementation of previous programs in improving the livelihoods of rural communities around the JTB Project to other villages. Realizing the principle of equity and justice in the implementation of community development programs that are not limited to the project area but also to communities outside the project area in accordance with regional policy priorities. Maintaining good relations with the government so that the business is able to run well. The targets of this activity were residents of Bandungrejo village. Ngasem sub-district, organized/accommodated in Village-Owned Enterprises and Village Governments. The indicators for the achievement of this program including . There was a percentage increase in the financial performance index of Village owned Enterprises. Increasing the Village owned Enterprises socio-economic benefit . Increasing the Village owned Enterprises organizational governance . There was a percentage increase in the production performance index of Village owned Enterprises. Then, the output/direct results of the program implemented include access to Village owned Enterprises financing, good financial governance and management, activities to increase knowledge and skills in financial management, various book dissemination of program and book results, coordination and communication, and Monitoring and evaluation real at the individual and community level (Amartya, 1. In this context. Armatya Sen development must be translated as a process of increasing the degree of human freedom in making their own choices. His opinion is based on the observation that the main problem in developing countries is more in reduced lives than low incomes. Therefore, the right strategy to overcome this is to increase the AufreedomAy and AuabilityAyof mankind in choosing values according to what they believe (Maani. The concept of empowerment is the result of interactions at the ideological and practical levels. At the ideological level, this concept is the result of the interaction between top-down and bottom-up concepts, between growth strategy and peoplecentered strategy. Meanwhile, at the practical level, interaction occurs through the struggle between autonomy. The concept of empowerment, thus, contains the context of siding with people who are below the poverty line. Taking into account the description of the mainstream development theories, it can be concluded that the peopleAos economy, in which humans . ndividuals and communitie. must be the subject of development. Empirical tests show that theories that favor the role of the wider community are more successful in development in developing Theories that rely solely on capital and natural resources are outdated. On the other hand, theories that are human-oriented are increasingly superior and tend to develop, one of which is the ACTORS theory. In the context of community empowerment in Indonesia, there are three things that need to be done through ACTORS theory. First, development needs to be directed at structural changes. Second, development is directed at empowering the community in order to solve the problem of inequality in the form LITERATURE REVIEW Community Empowerment The concept of empowerment emerged with two major premises, failure and hope (John, 1. The failure referred to failure of economic development models in tackling poverty and environmental problems in a sustainable manner. Meanwhile, it is hoped that there will be development alternatives that incorporate democratic values, gender equality, equality between generations, and adequate economic growth. These failures and expectations are not a measuring tool for social sciences, but are a reflection of normative and moral values that feel very of unemployment, poverty, and inequality by providing greater space and opportunity for the people to participate in Third, development needs to be directed at cross-sectoral coordination which includes inter-sectoral, inter-regional and special development programs. implementation, the three directions must be carried out in an integrated, directed, and systematic manner that cannot be separated from each other. In the end, the provision of greater space and opportunity for the people to participate in development can synergize with efforts to overcome unemployment, poverty, and The ACTORS empowerment proposed by Sarah Cook and Steve Macaulay . views society as a subject that can make changes by freeing a person from rigid control and giving the person freedom to take responsibility for his ideas, decisions, and actions. The empowerment intended by Cook and Macaulay is more directed at social and ethical/moral delegation, among others: . encouraging fortitude. delegate social . manage performance. develop the organization . oth local and . offer cooperation. communicate efficiently. encourage and . solve problems that The empowerment framework can be seen from the ACTORS acronym, which includes: A = authority by giving trust. C = confidence and competence. T = trust. O = opportunities. R = responsibilities. S = empowerment offered by Cook and Macaulay, the changes that will be produced are planned changes because the inputs to be used in the changes have been anticipated early on so that the outputs that will be produced can be optimally efficient. The study of community empowerment ACTORS framework is as follows: . authority, groups/communities authority to change their stance or spirit . ork ethi. into something that is their Thus they feel that the changes made are the product of their desire to change for the better. confidence and competence, generate confidence by seeing their ability to be able to change the situation. trust, creating a belief that they have the potential to change and they should be able to change it. opportunities, providing opportunities for the community to choose what they want so that they can develop themselves according to the potential that exists within the community itself. responsibilities, in making changes must go through management so that it is carried out with full responsibility to change for the better. support, there needs to be support from various parties to make it In this case, the expected support apart from the economic, social and cultural side is also support from various stakeholders . overnment, society, and the business worl. which is carried out simultaneously without being dominated by one party/factor. By using the ACTORS framework, empowerment, it can be done with reference to empowerment that comes from within and between communities. Where the government and non-governmental organizations as actors. In developing countries, the role of government is very important because the government plays a role: . explore, mobilize, and combine available resource factors such as manpower, costs, equipment, participation and legal authority. Government plays a central role in community development, operational, and technical policies. the government plays a role in providing guidance and technical assistance to the community with the intention that one day the community will be able to do it themselves, for example in terms of planning, initially the government does planning for the community, then planning with the community, and finally planning by the community. the government can also provide guidance to community organizations that can function to facilitate communication between the government and the community and do other things to increase the success of development. Considering the things mentioned above, it can be said that the pattern of the governmentAos role is top-down. Through this top-down strategy, strict control can be exercised and instructions can be issued quickly, simultaneously, and uniformly. This method looks efficient both in terms of time and energy expended, especially in the context of catching up, developing countries are taking all means to accelerate their national development. Through a topdown strategy, it is as if the government can impose its will on the community. This is motivated by the value system in society that allows the growth of paternalistic that the government considered the most knowledgeable, competent, and able to achieve what is best for society. In addition, the existence and role of non-governmental organizations (NGO. spread at the local, national, and international levels are also expected to play a role in community empowerment. NGOs in a narrow sense include non-profit non-governmental . rassrots whose activities are related to the process and impact of development, social development and change, and peopleAos empowerment. According to Hagul . at least there are five characteristics of NGO identity include: . reaching the poorest. participation or battle-up. not bureaucratic. able to and . low cost. The role of NGOs in empowering the people, among others, can be formulated through selfreliance education by playing the following roles: . facilitator and catalyst. trainers and educators. capital cultivator. project organizers. In carrying out this role, the relationship between NGOs and the government does not always run smoothly, sometimes conflicts arise because they defend different interests. There are three patterns of relationship between NGOs and the government, among others: . associative relationship. parallel and . In an associative relationship. NGOs are often considered as extensions of the government, because of their very close cooperation with the government, or formed for the benefit of implementing government programs. Meanwhile, in a parallel relationship with the government. NGOs as equal partners cooperate with the Conflictive relationships occur when NGOs distance themselves from the government because they defend the interests of different groups. Accordingly, if viewed from self-perception. NGOs can be classified as follows: . NGOs as an internal part of the government . artners, friends or allies of the government, not enemies/opponents of the governmen. NGOs as mediators between the government and the community . bridge/intermediary government and the communit. NGOs that expressly state that they are siding with the people in dealing with the state . eopleAos companion. NGO that merges and unites with the people . nion with group organization bas. In the process of empowering the community as well as empowering community organizations (NGO. , in Indonesia, it is carried out through three approaches (Pujiono & Pranarka, 1. as follows: . the humanitarian approach, although it does not empower the community as the target group, but can empower the NGOs themselves. community development approach, aimed at developing, self-sustaining, and selfsupporting the community. the peopleAos empowerment approach, aims to strengthen the bargaining position of the community the lower layers of the oppressive forces in all areas and sectors of In this regard, the government does not need to be allergic or suspicious of the existence of various institutions and actors outside government institutions, on the contrary it can be used as a reinforcing component in achieving empowerment The trichotomy of the role of the community/NGO empowerment issues does not need to occur, because their roles have now become so mixed up. The three forces should be united, have the same high interest and empowerment problems. There is no need for any power to be dominant over the others, all interact and interrelate and have equal access to each other to participate in realizing the welfare of society. significant contribution to improving the welfare of villagers. Besides that, in order not to develop a capitalistic business system in the countryside which can result in disruption of the values of social life. There are 7 . main characteristics that distinguish BUMDes from commercial economic institutions in general, including: 1. This business entity is owned by the village and managed jointly. Business capital comes from the village . %) and from the community. Its operations use a business philosophy rooted in local culture . ocal wisdo. The line of business carried out is based on the potential and results of market The profits obtained are intended to improve the welfare of members . apital participant. and the community through village policies. Facilitated by the Government. Provincial Government. Regency Government, and Village Government. The implementation of operationalization is (Pemdes. BPD. BUMDes institution for its business capital is built on the initiative of the community and adheres to the principle of independence. This means that the fulfillment of Village Owned Enterprises business capital must come from the community. However, it is possible that Village Owned Enterprises can apply for capital loans to outside parties, such as from the Village Government or other parties, even through third parties. This is in accordance with the legislation (Law 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government Article paragraph . This explanation is very important to prepare for the establishment of Village Owned Enterprises, because the implications will be in contact with its regulation in Regional Regulations (Perd. and Village Regulations (Perde. The four main objectives of establishing Village Owned Enterprises Village Owned Enterprises Village Owned Enterprises are village business institutions managed by the community and village government in an effort to strengthen the village economy and are formed based on the needs and potential of the village. According to Law number 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government. Village-Owned Enterprises was established, among others, in the context of increasing Village Original Income (PADes. Departing from this perspective, if the villageAos original income can be obtained from Village-Owned Enterprises, then this condition will encourage each Village Government to provide AugoodwillAy in responding to the Village-Owned Enterprises. As one of the economic institutions operating in rural areas. BUMDes must be different from other economic institutions in general. This is intended so that the existence and performance of BUMDes can make a includes . Improving the village economy. Increasing village original income. Improving the processing of village potential in accordance with the needs of the community. Becoming the backbone of rural economic growth and equity. The establishment and management of Village Owned Enterprises is a manifestation of the productive economic management of the village which is carried out in a cooperative, participatory, emancipatory, transparent, accountable, and sustainable manner in order to make the management of the business entity able to run effectively. To achieve the goals of Village Owned Enterprises, it is carried out by meeting the needs . roductive and consumptiv. of the community through Fulfilling these needs is sought not to burden the community, considering that Village Owned Enterprises will be the most dominant village business in driving the village economy. This institution is also required to be able to provide services to non-members . utside the villag. by placing prices and services that apply market standards. This means that there is an institutional mechanism/rules that are mutually agreed upon, so as not to cause economic distortions in rural areas due to the businesses run by Village Owned Enterprises. It is stated in the law that Village Owned Enterprises can be established according to the needs and potential of the What is meant by Auvillage needs and potentialAy including . Community needs, especially in meeting basic needs. There are village resources that have not been used optimally, especially village wealth and there is demand in the market. Available human resources capable of managing business entities as assets that drive the community's economy. The existence of business units which are the economic activities of the community members which are managed partially and are not Village Owned Enteprises is a vehicle for running a business in the village. What is meant by Auvillage businessAy is a type of business that includes . Financial services business, land and water transportation services, village electricity, and other Distribution of nine basic village . Trade of agricultural products includes food crops, plantations, livestock, fisheries, and agribusiness. Industry and folk crafts. The involvement of the village government as the largest Village Owned Enterprises capital participant or as a cofounder of the community is expected to be able to meet the Minimum Service Standards (SPM), which is manifested in the form of protection against harmful interventions from third parties . oth from within and outside the villag. Likewise, the village government plays a role in the formation of Village Owned Enterprises as a legal entity that is based on the applicable laws and regulations, and in accordance with the agreements developed in the village community. Further regulation regarding Village Owned Enterprises is regulated through a Regional Regulation after taking into account the above Through the mechanism of Auself-helpAy and Aumember-baseAy. Village Owned Enterprises is also a manifestation of the participation of the village community as a whole, so it does not create a business model that is hegemonized by certain groups at the village level. This means that this regulation is manifested in Strengthening institutional capacity will be directed at the existence of rules that bind all members . ne for al. The establishment of BUMDes is based on Law 32 of 2004 concerning Regional Government and Government Regulation No. 72 of 2005 concerning Villages. The General Principles Management of Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDe. Village Owned Enterprises management must be carried out using cooperative, participatory, principles, with member-base and self-help mechanisms that are carried out professionally and In this regard, to build BUMDes, accurate and precise information is needed about local characteristics, including the socio-cultural characteristics of the opportunities for the products . oods and service. Village Owned Enterprises as a business entity built on the initiative of the community and adhering to the principle of Even so, it is possible that Village Owned Enterprises is able to obtain capital from outside parties, such as from the Regency Government or other parties, and can even make loans to third parties, in accordance with statutory Further regulation Village Owned Enterprises will surely be regulated through a Regional Regulation. Village Owned Enterprises was established with a clear purpose. These goals will be realized, among others, by providing services for productive businesses, especially for the poor in rural areas, reducing the practice of debt bondage . and releasing money, creating equal opportunities, and increasing the income of rural communities. Another important thing is that Village Owned Enterprises must be able to educate people to get used to saving, in this way will be able to development of rural communities Village Owned Enterprises management is predicted to involve third parties which will not only affect the village community . Therefore, establishment of BUMDes initiated by the community must still consider the existence of a potential, the payment of taxes in the village, and the compliance of the village community with its All of this requires the involvement of the regency characteristics of rural communities that need to receive the main Village Owned Enterprises . communities which in fulfilling their daily needs in the form of food, clothing and shelter, mostly have a livelihood in the agricultural sector and carry out economic activities that are informal in . village communities whose income is very low, and it is difficult to set aside part of their income for further business development capital. village communities who are unable to provide for their own needs, so many fall into the hands of entrepreneurs who have stronger and the most important thing is . village communities whose business activities tend to be exacerbated by the marketing opportunities for capital owners to be able to reduce prices, so that they tend to extort and enjoy most of the work of the village community. Based on these predictions, the character of BUMDes is in management systems. In general, the establishment of BUMDes is intended to: C Improve community . inimum service standard. , in order to develop community businesses in the C Empower villages as autonomous regions with regard to productive efforts for poverty alleviation, unemployment and increasing (Village Government Revenu. C Increase the independence and capacity of the village and the community in strengthening the village economy. the participation of community The basis of the PARAos working method was mainly ideas that come from the people. Therefore. PAR researchers were required to carry out the following work methods. Paying close attention to the ideas that come from the people which were still beheaded and systematic. Studying the idea together with them so that it becames a systematic idea. uniting with the people. Reviewing the ideas that come from them, so that they were aware and mastering that the ideas were their . Translating the idea into . Testing the truth of ideas through action. and repeatedly so that the idea becomes truer, more meaningful and valuable over time. How the method worked, was clearly described as follows: Preleminary mapping Initial mapping as a tool for controlling the community, understand the reality of the problem and the social closeness that exists. This made it easier to enter the community either through key communities that had been built, such as religious groups, cultural groups, or economic Building human relations Researchers inculturation and built trust with residents, so that equal and mutually supportive Researchers and citizens were able to unite into a symbiotic mutualism to carry out studies, learned to master the problem, dismantled the RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The method used in this Participatory Action Research (PAR). There are two important aspects in action research, they were the educational aspect and the social aspect . nvolvement of community member. in development. The Participatory Action Research method was considered relevant to this assistance program process implemented because this method was an alternative method for community development both in the micro and macro scope using a bottom-up process approach. This was in line with the concept held that development was carried out by the community, from the community and for the community so that it requires problem in a participatory Determining the Research Agenda for Social Change Together community, the researchers schedule a study program through the participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) residentsAo cases which later became tools for social change, while pioneering, building community groups, according to abilities and Participatory Mapping Together with the community to map the area, as well as the problems experienced by the Formulating The community formulated the basic problems of human life that they experience, such as issues of food, housing, health, education, energy, the environment, and other major humanitarian issues. Developing Movement Strategy The community formulates a movement strategy to dismantle the formulated humanitarian problems. Ensuring systematic steps, ensuring . , formulating the possible success and failure of the planned program and finding a way out if there are obstacles that limit the success of the program Organizing Community Communities researchers have established social Whether they appear in the form of working groups or community organizations, they are actually solving social problems at the same time. Likewise, building networks between working groups and between working groups and other agencies related to the planned action plans. Launching change action Actions to solve problems are involved at the same time. Solving humanitarian problems not only solves the problem itself, but is also a process of community learning. Therefore, new institutions were community organizers were formed, and finally local leaders emerged, and these figures became agents of Building Learning centers are built based on the needs of community groups that are already engaged in action for The learning center is a research, discussion, and all aspects for planning, organizing and solving social problems. Theoretical reflection of social Community researchers put forward the theory of social change. Based on the results of the research, the community learning process and the action plans implemented, the researcher and the community will reflect on all the processes and results obtained . rom start to Theoretical reflections are formulated collectively, so that they become academic theories that can be displayed to the public as an academic accountability system. Expanding the scale of movement and support The success of the PAR program is not only measured by the results of activities during the process, but also by the level of sustainability of the ongoing program and the emergence of local organizers and leaders who continue the program to take action for change. Then, for the assistance strategies, including . Build a discussion group, building this discussion group to facilitate the performance of assistance in planning actions and coordinating programs to be . Analyze the planned social problems that occur. After the social groups are formed, discuss with them in this social group forum to analyze problems in the Perform analysis to find out which problems and which problems exist, and together decide which is more important. This is done to plan actions or solutions that will be decided in solving existing . Develop problem solving After analyzing their problem, it is time to work with them to develop a strategy to solve the problem. Mapping potential and assets. This mapping process can include mapping the potential of Natural Resources. Human Resources, regions, and so on. These potentials and assets will be processed, developed and used to assist in planning actions that have been mutually agreed upon. Build a network with stakeholders. The next activity to be carried out is to build a network with stakeholders to support and assist the actions that will be carried out by them. Take action for change. After all the steps have been taken together, starting from building discussion groups to building networks with stakeholders, it is time to take action for changes that have been mutually agreed upon. Conduct evaluation and reflection. It is necessary to carry out joint evaluations and reflect on them to develop these actions so that the programs implemented can be even better. This evaluation and reflection must be carried out on an ongoing basis so that they can all learn together and know how to overcome problems that arise. Expanding the scale of movement and Follow-Up Plan. If the joint action program can run smoothly and successfully, it is necessary to expand the scale of action and plan follow-up actions.
