SAVINGS GROUPS FOR PRODUCTION: PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Developing people to think and act is important, especially in solving poverty problems, lack of capital for occupations, and debt problems, which are the main problems that prevent households from escaping these cycles. This academic article aims to study the principles for successful operations so that savings groups for production can apply them to their operations. The study found that the operations of savings groups for production have clear guidelines and principles that have been supported by the Community Development Department since the beginning until now. The principles of good governance have been applied as guidelines for the operations of savings groups for production, consisting of 4 main principles, 10 sub-principles, and 21 indicators, in order to assess the potential of the group so that the group can use the evaluation results to improve and amend the management of various activities of the group to be successful in accordance with the objectives of establishing the savings group for production.
