Abstract

This study aims to analyze the inhibiting factors in the management and efforts to manage Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Air Terang Village, Tiloan Subdistrict. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving BUMDes administrators, village officials, and community members. The data were analyzed through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, employing source and method triangulation to ensure validity. The findings revealed three main obstacles: (1) inadequate human resources among the management, (2) limited funding, and (3) weak program socialization. In response, three primary management efforts were identified: (1) institutional strengthening through leadership training and enhanced coordination among BUMDes members, (2) strategic planning with diversification of agricultural product supplies and implementation of competitive pricing, and (3) service development including BRILink financial services while prioritizing the basic needs of farmers. These efforts, despite facing implementation challenges, demonstrate potential pathways to enhance the role of BUMDes in village economic development.
