Pengembangan Ekosistem Inovasi Desa melalui Penguatan Kelembagaan Lokal: Model Tata Kelola Kolaboratif untuk Pembangunan Desa Berkelanjutan di Kabupaten Sidenreng Rappang

Abstract

Sustainable village development requires an approach that is not only oriented toward physical development but also toward strengthening institutional capacity and developing an innovation ecosystem capable of promoting village independence. Sidenreng Rappang Regency has significant agricultural, social, and economic resource potential that can be developed through locally based innovation. However, various challenges, such as weak village institutional capacity, low collaboration among actors, limited access to technology, and the suboptimal utilization of local economic potential, remain obstacles to achieving sustainable village development.This article aims to develop a collaborative governance model as a strategy for strengthening the village innovation ecosystem through synergy among village governments, Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), community groups, the private sector, higher education institutions, and local governments. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach through literature study, observation of village institutions, and analysis of innovation-based village development models.The findings indicate that strengthening local institutions is a key factor in creating a sustainable innovation ecosystem. The proposed collaborative governance model consists of four main pillars: strengthening village institutions, developing an innovation-based economy, digitalizing village services and enterprises, and building multi-stakeholder partnerships. The implementation of this model is expected to enhance village adaptive capacity, strengthen local economic competitiveness, and support the achievement of the Village Sustainable Development Goals (Village SDGs) in Sidenreng Rappang Regency.
