The activity was carried out as community service. It was attended by 43 participants, consisting of lecturers, students, village government representatives, BUMDes managers, and village communities, including community leaders, youth, and women members of village business groups. The findings of this study highlight the importance of collaborative efforts between village governments, BUMDes managers, and communities in achieving sustainable development goals.
