One of the activities that aim to improve the quality of education in this environment is to invite professors from several foreign universities for various academic activities involving students and lecturers or commonly called the Visiting Professor Program.

Visiting Professor (Guest Lecturer) is one of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta’s (UMY) internationalization programs that aims to present Visiting Lecturers from foreign universities, particularly those that are included in the top 100 QS World University Rankings or have a cooperation agreement with UMY. Two or more Study Programs, either within the same Faculty or across Faculties, can propose the Visiting Professor Program. The Visiting Professor Program results in the publication of research findings with UMY lecturers in reputable/indexed international journals.

To support this, IGOV UMY invited a Visiting Professor from the School of Social Science, Universiti Sains Malaysia, namely, Dr. Muhammad Febriansyah, Ph.D. On this occasion, Dr. Febri will teach 2 classes of IGOV UMY on November 1, 2022, and November 2, 2022, presenting the topic How to Find an Interesting Topic Research in the Qualitative Analysis class led by Dr. Suswanta, M.Si and the Electoral System in Malaysia: Its Implementation and Critical Evaluation in the Electoral Governance class led by Dr. Phil. Ridho Al-Hamdi, MA

In addition to supporting the vision of UMY and UMY IP Study Programs, this program supports students from IGOV UMY to expand their range of knowledge
which will equip IGOV UMY students to become qualified graduates and have a global perspective. As expressed by one of the IGOV UMY students, Salsa Della Guitara “I think this program will help us see the world more broadly and absorb knowledge not only in Yogyakarta and Indonesia but globally. This certainly helps us to prepare when we have to compete in the world of work globally” (ARP)

by lecture

Yogyakarta(31/10) – Director of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (IGOV UMY) Sakir Ridho Wijaya, S.IP., M.IP., was successfully declared competent in the BNSP licensed competency test with the MSME Assistance scheme after three days of training and competency testing. This competency certification is intended to test whether the assessment can help, direct and support individuals/groups of MSMEs, and Cooperatives through problem formulation, planning, implementing, and evaluating in proper business development.

Many competencies must be mastered by MSME facilitators in carrying out their duties so that the mentoring program can run effectively and achieve the expected goals. Considering the problems faced and must be addressed by each of the assisted MSME actors, this is quite complex and requires specific solutions.
MSME assistants must be able to improve the business conditions of the assisted MSMEs in terms of business planning, increasing work productivity, improving packaging, recording financial transactions, expanding marketing and partnerships, and so on. Broad basic knowledge of the identification of mentoring needs, production management, marketing management, financial management, online marketing strategies, and various other knowledge is required.

The urgency of this scheme is increasing along with the increasing number of MSMEs which is not matched by an increased understanding of entrepreneurial concepts. In addition, there were 3 lecturers from the UMY Government Science Study Program who were declared competent in the UMKM companion scheme. The 3 lecturers are, Atik Septi Winarsih, M.Sc., Suswanta, M.Sc., and Prof. Dr. Dyah Mutiarin, M.Si. Through his success in being declared competent and competent in the MSME mentoring scheme, it is hoped that UMY IP Lecturers can carry out their duties with a mandate to manifest the development of the UMY IP Study Program in assisting MSMEs nationally.

Carry Out Mbangun Desain Program, The Director of IGOV UMY provides training and assistance in the preparation of BUMDES partner legal entities

by lecture

Yogyakarta (24/9) – Village Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa) as legal entities are important in supporting the acceleration of rural social and economic development. This is because BUM Desa which already has the status of a legal entity will be more flexible in developing its business, especially the flexibility to collaborate with several partners in business development.

The UMY Village Development Team (in) to strengthen the BUM Desa institution, providing training and assistance in the preparation of legal entities to BUM partners in Katon Margo Village, Sembada, Margokaton Village, and Sleman Regency. The implementation of this activity is based on the results of the identification of problems with partners in the field of management who do not yet have legal status.

“BUM Desa that already has a legal entity will have the flexibility to collaborate with several partners, the results of our problem identification show that BUM Desa Katon Margo Sembada does not yet have a legal entity. Therefore, we carry out assistance in managing BUM Desa with legal entities to our partners “Sakir Ridho Wijaya the Head of the UMY Village Development Team explained, Saturday (24/09)

The facilitation provided is in the form of strengthening understanding of BUM Desa institutional governance and managing legal entity certificates. So that the BUMDes of Katon Margo Sembada Village had the opportunity to have a dialogue and consult on several problems experienced in the management of BUM Desa and the preparation of legal entities.

In addition to assisting the management of BUM Desa as a legal entity, the Village Development Team(in) also focuses on helping to strengthen the village economy through the establishment of the shoppingdesa.id application. This application will later function as a digital market for Kalurahan Margokaton which is managed directly by BUM Desa to strengthen business units and MSME products. To strengthen the digitalization, BUM Desa digital branding assistance was also provided in the form of logo creation, mascots, and social media management.

Responding to the activity, Irdhon as Carik Kalurahan Margokaton positively welcomed the training and assistance in managing the legal entity status of BUM Desa in his village/sub-district. Irdhon hopes that with this assistance, BUM Desa Margo Katon Sembada will soon be certified as a legal entity so that it can optimize the marketing of BUM Desa products through the shoppingdesa.id application which was also formed by the UMY Village Development Team.

“We are very facilitated by the implementation of this program, especially in the preparation of complete requirements. So hopefully BUM Desa will be certified soon and can develop,” said Irdhon, in his interview after the mentoring session at the Alana Malioboro Hotel.

This activity is a sub-part of a series of Village Development (in) programs in strengthening the village’s digital economy through increasing management capacity and digitizing BUM Desa-UMKM in the 4.0 era. The next step in the Mbangun Desa(in) program is to digitize the products of BUM Desa Katon Margo Sembada and MSMEs through the shoppingdesa.id application; and actively involve Independent Learning Students-Independent Campus (MBKM) to contribute to solving several problems faced by BUM Desa.

Collaborating with UMY, Kelurahan Describes Challenges to Promote BUMDes

by lecture

Yogyakarta (13/9) – Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) through the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration (IGOV) held a group discussion forum on the topic of Government Development and Digital Economy to Realize Village SDGs at Alana Malioboro, Tuesday (13/9/2022). Sub-districts in Sleman, Bantul, and Kulonprogo participated in this activity which also involved the Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration.

Dr. Supriadi, Director of Investment Services for Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration at the Ministry of Villages for Development of Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration, said that his party appreciated UMY’s active steps in helping government programs to develop villages. According to him, collaboration must be carried out because the government cannot immediately move alone without the help of other parties.

IGOV UMY

“This is a good collaboration with UMY that what we do is followed up by both the campus and the community. We both have roles and functions as well as advantages and authority. The Ministry of Village has policies, and universities like UMY have technology and research. Going forward, we encourage collaborative programs between the Ministry of Villages, Villages, Local Governments, Universities, and the Private Sector. A good synergy can emerge and it is hoped that it will bring benefits to the village,” he said.

In the discussion, according to Supriadi, several things emerged which were underlined, especially in the development of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), which so far are still constrained. There needs to be commitment and partisanship from the village head whose hope can emerge soon after various deliberations like today

“Commitment and partisanship are discussions to develop BUMDes as well as human resource development. This is the subject of discussion and continues to be maximized. For example, the alignment of the village head gives BUMDes the flexibility to professionally manage the scale of the economic zone. Commitment is also how to use village funds for BUMDes. Through this village meeting, this commitment emerged from the village apparatus,” he continued.

On the other hand, BUMDes are asked to be more creative in finding potential as well as forming an industry that can support the village. According to Supriadi, regarding managed land, it is not a problem because BUMDes do not necessarily become the owner.

“The land rights remain from the village or the sultanate but the right to manage it lies with the BUMDes. This is not a problem. For example, planting vegetables, chicken coops, and so on, there is a period and not long. The most important thing is innovation and creativity. There is industrialization, the development of natural resources, whether tourism villages or commodities and creative and creative activities with digitalization as well as human resources,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the Director of the UMY IGOV Program, Sakir Ridho Wijaya, added that the discussion forum activity involving village heads in DIY was UMY’s real effort to participate in unraveling the problems that occurred. It is hoped that the collaboration with the campus can have a positive impact on village management for the prosperity of the community.

“We collaborate with researchers from the UMY Government Science study program according to the needs of our partners, in this case, the village. We are helping to establish BUMDes, MSMEs, and even tourist villages in the sub-districts,” he said.
