This study aims to analyze the governance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds in Luwe Hulu Village, West Lahei Sub-district, North Barito Regency, and the inhibiting factors in the village's independence efforts. The method used was a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, involving direct observation and in-depth interviews with informants from the government, related agencies, and the local community. The results showed that CSR governance based on the village head's vision and mission has successfully improved village facilities and infrastructure, education, and economic empowerment. Nonetheless, the challenge of program sustainability is a major concern, requiring long-term plans and periodic evaluations to ensure sustained positive impacts.
