Abstract

The Jokowi government is implementing infrastructure development policies as a form of seriousness in developing society from village to city level (Bottom Up - Top Down). Through budget allocations such as PNPM Mandiri/DANA DESA, the government provides space for the community to participate in development. In Jayapura City, Papua Province, Village Funds and Prospect Funds (sourced from OTSUS) are used to finance strategic village development programs. The research results show that Nafri Village in the Abepura District of Jayapura City is able to manage funding sources, including Village Funds and Village Funds from the Jayapura City APBD. In 2022-2023, this village will carry out various infrastructure activities such as road construction, construction of a people's market, toilets and renovation of the village hall office. Thus, the implementation of Village Funds and Prospect Funds has made a positive contribution to infrastructure development, economic empowerment and strengthening village institutional capacity.

Keywords: Implementation. Village Funds, Development, Infrastructure, Nafri Village.

INTRODUCTION

In accordance with the objectives of the Republic of Indonesia as stated in the preamble to the 1945 Constitution, it is emphasized that the State should protect the entire Indonesian nation and all of Indonesia's bloodshed (Annava et al., 2023; Juanda, 2023; Shuardi et al., 2018; Wajdi & Andryan, 2020; Wiredarme & Sarkawi, 2023). This statement contains the meaning that the State must protect all Indonesian Citizens (WNI) from all forms of threats, be it the threat of war, famine and so on without exception, to protect the entire Indonesian nation and all of Indonesia's bloodshed, the government needs to take policies that touch Directly regarding which public needs should be taken into account, the problems, needs and aspirations of the community that should be served must be taken into account (Lindawaty, 2018).

All Papuan people who are in The Capsule of Time, have the same right to enjoy dignified and quality development and none of them are neglected, so the following questions arise: (1). How do we usually do it? (2). How can we act fairly for all, but at the same time be sensitive to the social and economic characteristics inherent in each level of cultural development? (Sharkey, 2014).

Village funds are prioritized for their use in financing development and community empowerment in order ato improve the welfare of village communities, the quality of human life, and poverty alleviation, as outlined in the Village Government Work Plan (Suharto et al., 2023).

Nafri Village is one of the villages in the Abepura District of Jayapura City which also receives fresh "Block Grant" funds of IDR 3 billion per year. Nafri village was officially formed by a village government and regionalized in 2006. Judging from the condition of the infrastructure, there is no limited availability of clean water because the drinking water facilities built by the Village Community Development Foundation (YPMD) are starting to get damaged so there are people whose houses are some distance from the water source. Cannot use clean water facilities and there are no adequate Calcus Washing Bath (MCK) facilities, due to the lack of availability of clean water.

Based on this background. The author feels it is important to make this a problem that is stated in the research results with the title ï¿½Implementation of the Village Fund Budget and PROSPECTS for infrastructure development in Nafri Village, Abepura District, Jayapura City".

RESEARCH METHODS

1. Types of research

The direction of this research focuses more on quantitative research. However, it is combined with qualitative data with the aim of making data validation more complete and valid (Yazan, 2015). Combining qualitative and quantitative methods has a certain approach in research activities which must be based on the fact that it will have its own consequences as a process that must be followed consistently from start to finish so that data collection is right on target, so the validity and reliability of the data is not a matter of debate.

In this regard, it is necessary to know that both qualitative research and quantitative research each have advantages and disadvantages, therefore it will be very comprehensive if the two complement each other (Brannen, 2005).
