| Summary: | Economic, social and cultural symptoms and phenomena of the rural society are also confirmed to be influenced by the Village Fund intervention and the allocation and management of the Village Fund by the village institutions. The central government policy allocates a number of budgets directly to the village to be managed according to the needs, enabling villages and village communities to have facilities in planning and carrying out economic activities in the village in order to create jobs, ensuring job security for workers in the village, availability of funds to optimize the potentials that have been difficult to move with capital constraints. This research was aimed at examining models of empowerment of rural communities with the support or use of the Village Fund, which further looks at the effect of the realization of activities on the socio-economic structure of village communities. The results of the study show that the Watodiri Village community economic empowerment program with the assistance of the Village Fund has a low influence on the strengthening of the economy of the villagers, with constraints on local politics that do not favor community economic empowerment.
