Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kapasitas pelaku usaha mikro, kecil, dan menengah (UMKM), anak-anak, serta aparatur gampong di Kecamatan Lhoksukon, Kabupaten Aceh Utara, melalui empat program terpadu: literasi keuangan, penguatan ekonomi lokal, pendidikan literasi anak, dan peningkatan tata kelola administrasi. Kegiatan memakai pendekatan Participatory Action Research (PAR) yang terdiri atas asesmen kebutuhan, focus group discussion, pelatihan, pendampingan, dan evaluasi dengan instrumen pretest-posttest, lembar observasi, serta wawancara. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pemahaman keuangan pelaku UMKM dari 46,3 menjadi 82,1, skor literasi anak dari 38,5 menjadi 71,4, dan skor kompetensi administrasi aparatur gampong dari 41,8 menjadi 79,5. Pelaku UMKM yang mencatat keuangan usaha secara rutin meningkat dari 31,4% menjadi 82,9%. Taman baca gampong dan sistem pengarsipan yang lebih tertib juga terbentuk sebagai luaran program. Pelibatan mitra sejak perencanaan, materi kontekstual, dan pendampingan berulang menyertai perubahan kapasitas tersebut. Temuan menunjukkan perubahan awal pada kelompok peserta selama program. Tanpa kelompok pembanding, hasil ini belum membuktikan keunggulan program terpadu atas intervensi tunggal. Adaptasi program di wilayah lain memerlukan asesmen kebutuhan setempat.
This community service project aimed to enhance the capacity of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), children, and village (gampong) officials in Lhoksukon District, North Aceh Regency, through four integrated programs: financial literacy, local economic strengthening, children's literacy education, and administrative governance enhancement. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the project comprised a needs assessment, focus group discussions, training, mentoring, and evaluation using pretest-posttest instruments, observation sheets, and interviews. Results showed an increase in average scores: MSME financial understanding rose from 46.3 to 82.1, children's literacy from 38.5 to 71.4, and village officials' administrative competency from 41.8 to 79.5. The proportion of MSMEs routinely keeping business financial records increased from 31.4% to 82.9%. Key outputs also included the establishment of a village reading corner (taman baca gampong) and a more structured archiving system. Early partner involvement from the planning phase, contextualized materials, and repeated mentoring accompanied these capacity improvements. Findings reflect initial changes within the participant group over the course of the project. Without a control group, these results do not prove the superiority of an integrated program over single interventions. Program adaptation in other regions requires localized needs assessments.
