- Abstract
This research is a focused analysis of BUMKamp (Village-Owned Enterprises) in Holtekamp, Jayapura, with a particular emphasis on the microfinance units. The study’s primary goal is to delve into the untapped potential of these microfinance units and scrutinize the key challenges impeding their effective management. The research reveals a notable deficiency in the integration and coordination among the various BUMKamp units in Holtekamp. This lack of synergy leads to suboptimal revenue generation within the microfinance sector. Moreover, the research identifies low levels of community participation and a deficit in essential managerial skills as additional barriers to the efficient operation of these microfinance units. A crucial finding of the study is the pressing need for a comprehensive BUMKamp model. This model should feature interconnected units that can facilitate the establishment of integrated markets, encompassing a broad spectrum of economic activities such as goods, money, labor, loan funds, stocks, and exports. By implementing such a holistic approach, the microfinance sector can be revitalized within the BUMKamp framework, contributing to sustainable economic growth and financial stability in Holtekamp, Jayapura. This research offers valuable insights into the microfinance landscape, emphasizing its pivotal role in the prosperity and development of the local community.
