Pendampingan Pelaksanaan Seleksi Perangkat Desa Besole sebagai Upaya Penguatan Tata Kelola dan Pemberdayaan Sumber Daya Manusia

Abstract

Strengthening village governance has become an urgent need to support the effective and accountable implementation of village autonomy. This Community Service activity aims to assist the Besole Village Government, Bayan District, Purworejo Regency in conducting transparent and competency-based village apparatus selection. The implementation method uses a participatory-applicative approach through two stages: administrative selection and computer skills assessment covering the use of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The activity was conducted on March 5, 2025, at the Computer Laboratory of Politeknik Sawunggalih Aji, involving 19 candidates for the position of Village Welfare Section Head. The results demonstrate that the application of meritocratic principles and science-technology-based approaches can enhance transparency, objectivity, and accountability in the village apparatus recruitment process. This activity successfully produced technically and administratively competent village officials, improved participants' mastery of information technology, and strengthened public trust in village governance. This assistance provides a tangible contribution to village human resource empowerment and the implementation of good governance principles at the local level.
