As well as increasing the capacity of the community through a variety of village-level organizational affiliations and providing an opportunity for the village government to explore the potential that exists in the village so that it can further be developed into a village economic strength. This study aims to determine how the implementation and effectiveness of the GDM program in the context of community empowerment in Bungo District.
 This research uses a qualitative method approach with descriptive analysis. Data analysis techniques using the model of Miles and Huberman. Furthermore, this study uses data validity testing using the Triangulation Method, namely by comparing information or data in different ways so as to obtain the correctness of information.
 The results showed that the implementation of village community empowerment in Bungo District did not go well so it did not create opportunities for the community to be more empowered and protect the weak groups. The implementation of empowerment was also not carried out
 as stated in the regent's regulations regarding the GDM program. This is because the village government tends to focus more on rural infrastructure development and not focus on empowerment activities. The flow of submission and implementation of village community empowerment activities through groups also did not include and involve the youth organization as a forum for discussion of various group needs that existed in village communities.
