Abstract
The implementation of village fund management even though there are rules as references in its financial management does not mean that it does not encounter various obstacles. The main obstacle faced by village officials is the competency problem of inadequate apparatus, and the lack of training and mentoring obtained to improve their competence. Some efforts are needed for empowerment which in the discourse of community development are linked to the concepts of self-reliance, participation, networking and social justice.This empowerment effort is carried out in the form of training activities provided to the village apparatus (nagari) village financial management processes, especially in preparing the budget. This training activity will be carried out through several stages. The activities carried out are: initial observation to find out the problems and needs of partners, and training of village apparatus related to village budgeting. After the material was given, participants were then given training on village budget formulation and village RKP preparation training. Based on the results of the exercise, it is known that most of the trainees were able to understand the procedures for drafting Village Budget and have been able to compile Village Budget well. Besides that in the preparation of the Village RKP, most of the training participants were also able to complete the training well.
