Village Fund Management to Improve Community Welfare in Tenggela Village, Tilango District, Gorontalo Regency

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the planning, implementation of village fund management and the level of community participation in improving community welfare in Tenggela Village, Tilango District. This study used a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The results of the study show that in the process of realizing each stage of financial management, management is still found in accordance with the provisions of the regulation. This can be seen from the planning process to the reporting stage which is often not timely, so this also affects the final reporting and accountability carried out by the Village Head. From the results of the study, it was found that one of the influencing factors was the quality of village apparatus resources that were less competent and the performance and discipline that needed to be considered and improved considering that the village financial management process was the most important thing for the village itself. In addition, the role of the sub-district government which lacks space to be involved in overseeing the financial management process is because all stages of financial management have been carried out by the relevant agencies.
