In developing countries poverty is an acute social problem in society. Each village has different potentials, regional conditions, and community characteristics. The point is that each village has characteristics that are different from other villages. For this reason, in an empowerment effort, the local village community must be more involved in these activities. Because the community knows more about the potential and conditions of their village. The government only acts as a facilitator supporting the empowerment program. Training is not only the responsibility of the government, because the subject of empowerment is the village community itself.
