A descriptive qualitative method was applied through field practice and direct interviews with the village head and local residents of the village. The results show that the village has established a Merah Putih Cooperative as a collective platform for managing agricultural and livestock products, which is officially registered and plays a key role in improving access to capital and product values. Additionally, government support programs, such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and microenterprise training, have encouraged local community participation in economic activities. However, challenges remain, including unequal aid distribution and a lack of routine outreach. The study concludes that financial accountability through cooperatives and participatory village management strategies has contributed positively to economic empowerment, although further improvements are needed in reporting transparency and equal access to programs. These findings are expected to provide input for village policymakers in designing community-based financial and empowerment policy.
