TNI Manunggal Membangun Desa: Collaborative Governance in Rural Development in Indonesia

Abstract

The Indonesian National Army (TNI) through the "TNI Manunggal Membangun Desa (TMMD)" program is active in improving the welfare of people in rural areas, especially in remote areas. The success of the 117th TMMD program FY 2023 Kodim 0824/Jember is determined by the active participation of the community in planning and implementation. This approach ensures the program meets local needs while increasing a sense   of   ownership   and   sustainability.   This   research   aims   to   strengthen   the understanding and synergy between the TNI and the community in village development through this program. The research was conducted by conducting interviews with TNI members and villagers involved in the program; as well as direct observation in the field to obtain accurate data and information. The results showed that the 117th TMMD FY 2023 Kodim 0824/Jember successfully achieved physical and non-physical development targets in Klungkung Village, Sukorambi District, with full support from the community and  government  budget.  The  program  not  only  improved  village  infrastructure  and quality of life, but also strengthened the synergy between the TNI and the community, which had a significant impact on the development of the village into an independent village.
