ABSTRACT
One source of village finance is the Village Fund. Village Funds come from the State Budget. The priority for using the Village Fund is to finance governance, implementation of development, community development, and empowerment of village communities. However, in the management of the Village Fund, there are a number of problems faced by the village, such as delays in distributing Village Funds, inappropriate use of Village Funds, delays in preparing Village Government Work Plans and Village Income and Expenditure Budgets, delays in reporting the use of Village Funds, and procedures for implementing various development activities that are not in accordance with applicable regulations. Based on these problems, this study aims to describe and analyze the evaluation of Village Fund management policies based on the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2019 in Selapai Village, Kaliorang District, East Kutai Regency; and describe and analyze the factors that encourage and hinder the evaluation of the Village Fund management policy. With a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study concludes that the results of the evaluation of the Village Fund management policy based on the Regulation of the Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Areas, and Transmigration Number 11 of 2019 in Selapai Village, Kaliorang District, East Kutai Regency are not optimal. The factors that drive the Village Fund management program are the availability of adequate funding sources and infrastructure, and factors that hinder the Village Fund management program are the low quality of human resources, weak support at the leadership level for achieving program objectives, and the lack of coordination in the bureaucratic structure.
