      Based on the population census in 2019 in West Java, the number of elderly is 3.347.712 people with a life expectancy of 72 years old. Karawang district has changed from the agricultural zone into the largest industrial zone in South East Asia. It has brought the transition to social, cultural, economic, and health for the people in the area. One of the vulnerable groups affected by the change is the elderly.

      The Indonesian government has regulations about the elderly’s welfare in UU-RI Number 13 the year 1998 chapter 25 and PP Number 43 Year2004 about implementing efforts to improve the welfare of the elderly. The West Java government has a program to improve happiness and life quality of the elderly called “Minggu Lansia”. This program is run by engaging young volunteers to visit the elderly at least once a week. Unfortunately, this program has not been implemented at the village level, especially in Subdistrict Klari and East Teluk Jambe.

      From the problem above, it is necessary to find an alternative solution. One of the areas of village development is community empowerment, including the elderly, which can be optimized through village planning and budgeting. It is important to encourage the village government to implement participatory and gender-responsive village development planning and budgeting through the community. That is the main reason we apply the proposal of a program named ANDIL SAHATE.

      ANDIL SAHATE is an acronym of ANDIL (ANggaran Desa bagI Lansia) means Village Budgeting for the Elderly and SAHATE (SehAt, sejaHtrA, dan TErampil) means the healthy, prosperous, and skilled elderly. The community that we’re going to build is called “Nyekar Desa”. It’s an acronime of “Nyakola Anggaran Desa {Sekolah Anggaran Desa or Village Budgeting Training) with the program targets are village government (officials and BPD/Badan Pemusyawaratan Desa) and citizens (the elderly, families, and youth). We hope the program can improve the understanding and skill of village officials and BPD members about participatory and gender-responsive village development planning and budgeting. The program also aims to increase citizen (the elderly, families, and youth) capacity and awareness about their rights and obligation in village development.
