“…Proses pemberdayaan masyarakat desa juga penting untuk memastikan kesetaraan gender (Kristianti, 2020). Perempuan di desa perlu untuk memahami bahwa mereka memiliki hak dan posisi yang sama dengan laki-laki dalam pengambilan keputusan di tingkat desa (Kushandajani & Alfirdaus, 2019).…”

Diterbitkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa telah menumbuhkan optimisme bagi percepatan pembangunan desa di Indonesia. Akan tetapi, permasalahan-permasalahan yang bersifat teknis seperti penyaluran dana desa yang terlambat dari pemerintah daerah, tahapan penyaluran yang membatasi keleluasaan penggunaan dana desa, hingga keterbatasan kapasitas sumber daya manusia pemerintah desa dalam memenuhi tuntutan beban administratif yang tinggi menjadi penghambat dalam efektivitas pemanfaatan dana desa. Untuk itu, Penulis berupaya untuk menganalisa permasalahan yang ada dan mencoba untuk mencari solusinya dengan melakukan metode penelitian yuridis normatif berdasarkan regulasi, data-data, teori-teori, dan kajian yang telah dilakukan sebelumnya dalam pelaksanaan dana desa. Hasilnya, opsi-opsi seperti menyalurkan dana desa langsung dari Rekening Kas Umum Negara (RKUN) ke Rekening Kas Desa (RKD) tanpa melalui Rekening Kas Umum Daerah (RKUD) dan memberlakukan mekanisme penyaluran dua tahap bagi desa mandiri kepada seluruh desa perlu untuk dicoba dalam mengatasi permasalahan teknis yang ada.

“…Based on the provisions stipulated in Law no. 6 of 2014 concerning villages, villages are the policy of the Indonesian government in terms of village autonomy, namely 1) the village has the authority to allocate village finances, 2) the authority of the village government in improving the economy and welfare of the community, and 3) the village community participates in the development carried out in the village (Kushandajani and Alfirdaus, 2019).…”

It has been almost a year that the world has experienced suffering because of the emergence of an infectious disease type, namely the coronavirus (Covid-19). The coronavirus outbreak does not only affect health but also socioeconomic conditions. The economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak has caused a decline in domestic economic activity so that reduced society's welfare. Recipients of direct cash assistance from village funds are families who have lost their livelihoods or have been laid off, have not received assistance from the Family Hope Program (PKH), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), worker cards, and recipients of UMKM assistance. The role of the government with the Village Fund Cash Block Grants (BLT) program is expected to have a positive role in the form of moral obligations to help realize the welfare of all levels of society by ensuring a balance between private and public interests and in maintaining the wheels of the economy on the right track. The data in the field shows that the distribution of Village Fund Cash Block Grants (BLT) has not been effective because it is not on target and there is an impression of the proximity factor of village officials. This study uses a qualitative method. This study was conducted in 29 villages in Nangapanda District, Ende Regency. The findings of the researchers indicated that the effectiveness of the direct block grants program from village funds was very beneficial for the poor and the society strongly supported village funds to be given to the society in cash other than to infrastructure development.

“…A new budgeting system was applied, which made fund allocation for any programmes heavily dependent on the decision-making of local authorities. In the initial studies by Kushandajani and Alfirdaus (2019), it was shown that the responses of the local authorities to gender problems were low, and women empowerment was placed as secondary among the development priorities. The continuity of funding, supervision and legal status of the SPP are now uncertain and need a broader policy framework.…”

Microfinance has broadly been used to alleviate poverty and empower women in Indonesia. Many studies have already examined the microfinance performance but mostly on the basis of a client versus non-client comparative method. In this study, we measure the outreach of and impact of microfinance on poverty alleviation through random sampling of poor households. A case study was conducted at the district of Purbalingga to assess the most widespread woman microfinance in Indonesia, Savings and Loans for Women ( Simpan Pinjam Perempuan, SPP). While the SPP has a good repayment rate and asset growth, its performance in poverty alleviation is low. Only 18 per cent of the respondents ever benefitted from the SPP, which indicates low outreach to the poor. The impact on income generation and development of social capital as well as empowerment of the poor is weak. The causes are limited fund, lack of prioritisation to the poor and inexistence of assistance to loan utilisation. Institutionally, the SPP is not connected to the local government. These create a low sense of belonging and fund allocation from the local authorities. The continuity of the SPP requires a closer institutional linkage with the local government and bank institutions in order to have better assistance and budgeting while maintaining informality of loan disbursement.
