The success of the food security program is largely determined by the success of agricultural production. One supporting factor in agricultural productivity is the availability of good irrigation water in accordance with crop needs. This study aims to determine, describe, and analyze institutional capacity building in Farmers’ Association of Water Users (HIPPA) in Malang Regency. This research approach uses qualitative methods. For the determination of informant’s researchers used snowball sampling data collection techniques. In the meantime, institutional strengthening research includes human resources, organizational networks, and finance. The results of this study found that HIPPA “Tirtoadi” has made efforts to develop human resources through trainings organized by extension agents. They also expand the network, one of which is cooperating with related parties through certain programs and cooperating with 9 GAPOKTAN who will market the products produced. Nevertheless, there are still some farmers, especially farmers who own land at the secondary level, which means that they are located near water sources.
