Abstract

The existence of MSMEs cannot be doubted because they have proven to be able to survive, especially after the economic crisis in 1998. In the Covid 19 Pandemic era like today, MSMEs still play an important role. Many sectors have been affected by the Covid 19 pandemic but MSMEs still show good resilience compared to large-scale economic sectors, one example is MSMEs in Ende Regency. The most dominant businesses in Ende Regency are micro and small businesses, while medium scale businesses also exist, but not too many. Even though people experience limited purchasing power due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the existence of MSMEs in Ende Regency is still taken into account. Efforts to increase the existence and competitiveness of UMKN in Ende Regency were also carried out by the Regional Government and Stakeholders through the empowerment of MSMEs. The concept of empowerment carried out by the Regional Government basically refers to the concept of national empowerment which is carried out to support the creation of job opportunities, increase exports and increase competitiveness. All these efforts are made through increasing business certainty and legal certainty, developing an incentive system to foster new export-oriented technology-based entrepreneurs, and increasing access to and expanding the export market for MSME products. In this context, MSMEs are also given facilities in formalizing and licensing businesses, including by developing a one-stop service pattern. The main objective is to strengthen the sustainability of MSMEs so that they can produce quality and internationally competitive products. Therefore, strategic efforts are needed to increase the competitive advantage of MSMEs. One way that can be done is by enriching the knowledge of MSME actors about business management and financial knowledge so that management and accountability can be better accounted for. Therefore, the central and local governments play an important role in providing support, commitment and assistance so that the status of MSMEs in Ende Regency is sustainable, superior and has high competitiveness.
