Community Empowerment in the Disadvantaged Village of Koto Dalam Barat Through an Integrated KKN Program
Abstract
This study aims to empower the community in the disadvantaged village of Koto Dalam Barat, Padang Pariaman Regency, through an Integrated Community Service Program (KKN) conducted by students of IAIN Batusangkar. The approach used is Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), which focuses on leveraging local assets and community potential as the foundation for development. The village faces various challenges, such as low education levels and limited access to technology, which are addressed through local asset mapping and active community participation in every phase of the program. This KKN initiative contributes by identifying and utilizing local assets through skill training, digital literacy enhancement, and the development of businesses based on local potential. The students of IAIN Batusangkar serve as facilitators, collaborating with the community to discover, develop, and strengthen existing assets to improve overall welfare. The program is designed in stages, starting with asset mapping, planning activities based on local potential, implementing the program using a participatory approach, and concluding with evaluation and monitoring to ensure sustainability and long-term impact for the community.
