Abstract:
In 2022, it will be a period of sustainable economic recovery in all sectors after the
Covid-19 Pandemic. The state revenue and expenditure budget are the primary and
leading instrument in growing the national economy that is timely, effective, and on
target. The government has set a village fund ceiling of IDR 68 trillion. The village
funds are distributed to 74,960 villages spread across 434 districts/cities throughout
Indonesia. The realization of the distribution of transfers to regions and village funds
in South Sulawesi until August 2022 reached IDR 19.23 trillion or 55.26% of the ceiling
of IDR 29.22 trillion. The most significant contribution lies in the general allocation
fund, which is IDR 12.96 trillion. This figure is even higher than the previous year's
period which reached IDR 12.84 trillion. In the total budget provided, each village
receives an average of IDR 907.1 million. The Covid-19 pandemic, which has hit the
economy in the last 2 years, has forced the government through state revenue and
spending budget instruments to work hard to overcome the impact caused by the
pandemic. This can be seen from the policy of transferring funds to the regions and
village funds for 2022 which are directed at supporting social protection programs for
the poorest and most vulnerable people. The nation's economic recovery must rely on
community empowerment in the community-based economy. South Sulawesi
Province has 21 Regency and 3 Cities, 307 Sub-districts, and 2,255 villages. South
Sulawesi's economy in the second quarter of 2022 continued its positive performance
with increased growth compared to the previous quarter. South Sulawesi's economy
recorded growth of 5.18%, higher than the previous quarter which grew 4.28%.
Residents of rural communities in South Sulawesi Province have dominant livelihoods
in the agricultural, forestry, and fisheries sectors (. In villages where the main income
of most the population is agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, 64% of the villages have
rice as the subsector commodity
