ANALYSIS OF GOOD VILLAGE GOVERNANCE IN CANDIRENGGO VILLAGE, KEBUMEN REGENCY BASED ON MINISTER OF HOME AFFAIRS REGULATION NUMBER 20 OF 2018

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of good village governance principles in village financial management based on the Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 20 of 2018, to examine the challenges faced by the Candirenggo Village Government in applying these principles, and to analyze the strategies implemented to achieve good governance in financial management. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with primary data obtained through in-depth interviews and documentation. The object of this research is Candirenggo Village, Ayah Subdistrict, Kebumen Regency. The research findings indicate that the implementation of good village governance principles in financial management has generally been carried out effectively. All stages of village financial management including planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability have been conducted systematically and in accordance with procedures. However, there are still aspects that have not been fully optimized, particularly in terms of information transparency. The Candirenggo Village Government has not yet provided complete information through the village information board, nor has it been published through digital media. The village website has not been updated, and there is no official complaint address accessible to the public. The main challenges in implementing good village governance principles include limited human resources, particularly the village apparatus's understanding of accounting and financial systems, and the suboptimal use of information technology. Additional obstacles include limited public knowledge in financial matters, budget constraints in development, and weather-related factors that often delay infrastructure development. To address these issues, the Candirenggo Village Government has implemented several strategies, including improving information transparency, strengthening regulatory compliance, and providing responsive and efficient public services to support the realization of good village governance.
