Summary
Village fund policy is an interesting thing to study. The existence of the Village Law becomes a change in the perspective of village development. Villages that have been the object of development, villages are given the authority to regulate and manage their own government. The village is given full authority to explore the potential of the village in order to realize the welfare of the village community. The purpose of being given authority is to improve public services, reduce poverty, reduce the development gap between cities and villages and improve the economy of rural communities. The commitment of the Central Government to achieve these goals can be seen from the consistency of the Village Fund budgeting every year as outlined in the State Budget (APBN)
