Effectivity of Management of Desa Funding Against Development Progress in Selayar District South Sulawesi Indonesia

Abstract

Qualitative research through a phenomenological approach, as for the results of the study showed that Village fund management plays a crucial role in improving the economy and welfare at the village level. However, an evaluation of these management practices reveals several aspects that need serious attention. Community involvement in planning and decision-making is still limited, while transparency in financial management and supervision of the use of village funds is not optimal. The management process, from planning to supervision, should be more structured and involve active community participation. Greater openness from the village government regarding the use of village funds is needed so that the community can better understand and participate in village development. Through the implementation of transparent, accountable, and participatory financial management principles, as well as involving the community in every stage, it is expected that the management of village funds can be more effective, sustainable, and have a significant positive impact on the development of the village and the welfare of its people.
