Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented
serious challenges to people's well-being, especially in
rural areas. The significant economic impact of the
pandemic has resulted in decreased income and
increased unemployment rates in villages. Therefore,
Community Service is a very important means to
address this issue. This research aims to investigate how
entrepreneurship programmes in the context of
Community Service can improve village welfare in the
pandemic era.The research methods used in this study
are surveys, interviews, and secondary data analysis.
Surveys were conducted in several villages affected by
the pandemic, and interviews were conducted with
community members and local stakeholders. Secondary
data was used to analyse the economic development of
the villages before and after the implementation of the
entrepreneurship programme.The results show that
entrepreneurship programmes in the context of
Community Service can be an effective solution to
improve village welfare in the pandemic era. The
programme encourages village communities to develop
small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as
agriculture, crafts, and services, which are able to
survive in difficult economic situations. The programme
also provides training and mentoring to villagers to
improve their skills in managing businesses and
marketing products.With the entrepreneurship
programme in place, villages that have implemented it
report increased income, decreased unemployment
rates, and improved overall community welfare. The
programme also helps villagers to adapt to new
situations brought about by the pandemic, such as
changes in consumption patterns and market
demand.This research concludes that Community
Service through entrepreneurship programmes can be
an effective tool to improve village welfare in the
pandemic era. The importance of cooperation between
academics, government, and communities in
implementing this programme to ensure its
sustainability and success in the long run. It is hoped
that the results of this study can provide insights and
guidance for similar efforts in various villages affected
by the pandemic.
