Rural development programs that involve village communities as development subjects (Community Driven Development) have been implemented in various countries, including Indonesia through the village fund program. West Java, a province with a high accumulation of village funds, has a low Village Development Index (IDM) growth. This study analyses the contribution of village funds and Village Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) to IDM in West Java. Using panel data regression with fixed effect and Difference in Difference (DiD), data from 5.312 villages receiving village funds in the 2018–2023 period were analyzed. The study found that overall, village fund realization had a positive and significant effect on IDM, with the funds predominantly used for infrastructure development in the Village Development Sector. The regression results per Sector also found that all Village Fund Sectors had a positive and significant influence on the IDM value, with the highest influence from activities in the Village Development Sector. DiD analysis revealed that aligning village fund activities with Village SDGs has not yet significantly impacted IDM growth. Therefore, to accelerate village development, the Government should prioritize using village funds not only for infrastructure but also for activities like Village Community Empowerment while promoting the alignment of these funds with Village SDGs.

The reality of using village funds in 2018 has been used well and has fulfilled the expectations and needs of the community. It can be seen that the policy implementers have the ability to manage the existing budget, where the implementers of the policy work in a synergy, transparent and in accordance with the regulation of Regent Gresik number 34 of 2017 on village funds, village funds in 2018 in the Kepatihan village are prioritized for development alone this is because when a village meeting (musrenbang) is held, it is seen from the proposal that there is a lot of development that must be built. This is evidenced by the development of the Kepatihan village, so that it can be said that the use of village funds has been optimal and should be appreciated by the community where they feel that the development has been evenly distributed. The findings of this study indicate that "The implementation of village funds is in accordance with existing regulations and can be said to be successful. In Article 4 paragraph 1 in the regulation of Regent Gresik number 34 of 2017 said that Village income should be publicized to the general public that can be accessed by village communities , and this has been done by policy implementers, thus the community knows the details of village funds and the amount of village funds received in 2018.

Despite receiving substantial village funds, West Java, one of Indonesia's provinces, exhibits slow growth in the Village Development Index (IDM). This study examines the effect and impact of Village Funds on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as measured by the IDM in West Java Province. The methodology employs a panel data regression with fixed effects and a Difference-in-Difference (DiD) analysis on 5,312 villages that received Village Funds between 2018 and 2023. Findings indicate that Village Funds significantly impact the IDM, primarily through infrastructure projects within the village development sector. Furthermore, the regression analysis revealed that all sectors positively and significantly influence the IDM, particularly the village development implementation sector. Conversely, the DiD analysis suggests that the alignment of Village Fund activities with the SDGs has not significantly affected IDM growth in West Java. Thus, to accelerate village development, the government must balance the prioritization of Village Funds. This balance should move beyond solely focusing on infrastructure development to encompass activities in other fields, such as village community empowerment
