Keywords:
Empowerment; Women; Farmers’ Groups; Program EvaluationAbstract
This study aims to examine the implementation of a women’s empowerment program carried out through the Mandiri Women Farmers Group in Sangkunur Sub-district, including the challenges encountered and the strategies adopted to ensure the sustainability of the program. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants included representatives from the Agricultural Office, village government officials, agricultural extension workers, and members of the farmers group. The findings indicate that the program has enhanced members’ knowledge and skills in agricultural practices while also contributing to increased household income. However, group activities have declined due to decreased member participation, limited financial resources, and suboptimal collaboration with external stakeholders. Therefore, strengthening the program is necessary through targeted training, continuous mentoring, and support from the government and community leaders. Through these efforts, the Mandiri Women Farmers Group is expected to regain its optimal role as a platform for women’s empowerment and to contribute to sustainable rural development.
