Before the emergence of Covid-19 which developed throughout the world, the Indonesian Central Government had issued Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, which is a policy that regulates the level of Village administration. However, in this law there is no allocation of development funds and village empowerment which is the basis of the community at the level of village government administration (Gampong). Funds sourced from APBN, APBD Province or Regency, hope to support the progress of the village to become an independent village capable of organizing and managing. The allocation of village funds in the form of a Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBG) is directed to finance government activities, development and community empowerment.
