BumDes is a village business managed by the village government (pemdes) and is a legal entity.
The village government can establish bumdes according to the needs and potential of the village. BumDes capital can come from the village government, community savings, government assistance, provincial government, district government, loans or capital participation from other parties, or profit-sharing cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis. In 2021, the East Kalimantan Provincial Government has allocated BanKeu funds of 50 million per village for community empowerment through BumDes management for the progress of villages and village government in general. Efforts will be made to increase the village development budget allocation in the following years. The advantage of BUMDes if managed professionally is that it can increase local village income; Improving the community's economy; Increased community services; The younger generation feels at home in their place of origin; The birth of potential village entrepreneurs; It is important that a BUMDes manager is someone who understands financial management.
Next, the Head of the Government and Human Development Division of Bappeda, East Kalimantan Province, Drs. Hariyo Santoso conveyed in his presentation the strategy and policy direction contained in the East Kalimantan RPJMD related to optimizing Village-Owned Enterprises, namely strengthening and increasing the role of community economic business institutions and increasing active BumDes to improve the village economy. The strategic objective in increasing the empowerment of rural communities in underdeveloped and very underdeveloped villages is to improve the quality of Village-Owned Enterprises in East Kalimantan Province. The targets to be achieved from this goal are increasing the quality of BumDes; Increasing the quality of BumDes management; Increasing BumDes administrative and financial managers. In the 2020 East Kalimantan Province APBD, through the Regency/City Financial Assistance expenditure allocation, a budget has been allocated for villages in East Kalimantan amounting to +Rp.513,330 billion. It is hoped that all related parties can support all village development programs with the existence of BumDes. The role of relevant OPDs in the Regency/City in developing BumDes must be encouraged. There needs to be good management and support for BumDes in facing business competition.
