For this reason, efforts that should be done include. First, seek community participation and active role in the discussion, management, and use of village funds; second, strengthening governance to prevent corrupt practices; third, strengthening supervision, especially regarding village governance; fourth, strengthening the quality of public services to gain full trust from the public and provide feedback instruments to determine public satisfaction with the performance performed; Fifth, strive for the empowerment of local wisdom that applies in the village, such as the role of customary law or local culture and encourage the involvement of various elements such as religious leaders, traditional leaders, community leaders, youth communities.
