This research comprehensively analyzed the main strategies for implementing BUMDes, focusing on community participation, strict financial management, and business diversification and risk management. Research Objectives: This research aims to evaluate the extent to which community participation, financial management, business diversification, and risk management have been integrated in BUMDes as the main strategy for achieving sustainability. Method: This research uses qualitative methods by interviewing the Head of BUMDes from each village, the Village Head, and three members and administrators of BUMDes from three different districts. the data used is primary and secondary. The data that has been collected is then processed using the triangulation method. Results: The research results show that community participation is a central element in the success of BUMDes, enabling more inclusive decision-making and supporting sustainability. Tight financial management provides a strong financial foundation and transparency, while business diversification with risk management helps reduce vulnerability to external changes.

Non-timber forest Products (NTFPs) are a broad category of natural resources harvested from forests that do not involve cutting down trees for their wood or timber. NTFPs play a vital role in the livelihoods and economies of many rural communities, particularly in forest-dependent regions. Despite the benefits obtained from NTFPS, little is known about its potential to alleviate poverty in the local communities. The objective of this review is to comprehensively assess the potential of NTFP's contribution to poverty reduction within forest fringe communities. The study employed the systematic review method to delve into the multifaceted relationship between NTFPs and poverty alleviation. We followed the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses protocol (PRISM-P). In all, 58 research articles were reviewed. The results indicated that NTFPs hold significant promise as a tool for poverty alleviation. Globally, NTFPs have the potential to alleviate poverty and increase household incomes between 19% and 78% within forest fringe rural communities. In addition, the review indicated that countries in Africa and Asia depend highly on NTFPs and provide substantial amounts of income to the locals. However, the potential for NTFPs to reduce poverty is not uniform. It is highly contingent upon local ecological conditions, market accessibility, community involvement, and supporting policies and interventions. In conclusion, this systematic review demonstrates that NTFPs have a substantial role in poverty alleviation. This study underscores the need for continued research and targeted development initiatives to unlock the vast potential of NTFPs in addressing poverty challenges.

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) are an important source of livelihood and forest sustainability. Village Forest (VF) is a social forestry program that can help to promote NTFP development. This study aimed to assess the potential and strategies for NTFP product development in Sapat VF, Indragiri Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. Data were collected using observation, interviews, and literature review. Snowball sampling was used to select informants. SWOT analysis was used to assess the potential for NTFP product development. The results showed that Sapat VF has a high potential for NTFP product development, with a variety of NTFPs such as mangrove crabs, lokan, shrimp, nipah, mangrove fruit, nyirih fruit, and jeruju leaves. The community has a positive attitude towards protecting Sapat VF, as evidenced by their membership in the Supervisory Community Group (SCG). An aggressive strategy was used to develop NTFP products, which is a favorable situation because it has opportunities and strengths that can be exploited.
