Abstract

The Village Fund is one of the government's policy instruments that aims to accelerate village development, especially in the provision of facilities and infrastructure for village communities. The development of adequate village infrastructure is expected to be able to increase access to public services and encourage the welfare of village communities. And what happens in its implementation, the use of Village Funds still faces various challenges that have the potential to reduce the effectiveness of achieving these goals.This research aims to analyze the role of Village Funds in providing facilities and infrastructure for village communities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The data collection technique was carried out through in-depth interviews with village officials, community leaders, and villagers, as well as field observations and documentation studies on planning documents and reports on the realization of the Village Fund. Data analysis is carried out in the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn.The results of the study show that the Village Fund plays an important role in increasing the availability and accessibility of village facilities and infrastructure, such as village roads, clean water facilities, sanitation, and other public facilities. Infrastructure development funded through the Village Fund generally provides direct benefits to the community, especially in supporting economic and social activities. However, the effectiveness of the use of Village Funds is still influenced by the limited capacity of village officials, the quality of development planning, and the implementation of the principles of transparency and community participation.
