In the era of regional autonomy, the ability of villages to pool resources and expertise is essential for large-scale development. Permendagri Number 96 of 2017 regarding Village Cooperation Procedures in the Field of Village Government is the definitive instrument for an Inter-Village Strategic Alliance. Enacted to implement Article 149 of PP Number 47 of 2015, this regulation replaces the outdated Permendagri 38/2007. By establishing a Collaborative Governance Framework, it allows villages to overcome individual administrative limitations and address shared challenges—such as water management, waste processing, and regional economic zones—collectively.
The Inter-Village Cooperation Body (BKAD)
To achieve high-resolution Inter-Village Strategic Alliance, the regulation authorizes the formation of a dedicated coordinating entity known as the **BKAD (Badan Kerjasama Antar Desa)**.
Establishment and Structure of BKAD:
- Formation Mechanism: BKAD is formed based on the specific needs of the participating villages through the Inter-Village Consultation (Musyawarah Antar Desa/MAD).
- Inclusive Composition: The body is comprised of diverse village stakeholders, including:
- The Village Government (Executive);
- Members of the Village Consultative Body (BPD);
- Village Community Institutions (LKD) and other Village Institutions;
- Community figures, with mandatory consideration for gender equality.
- Legal Foundation: The organizational structure, working procedures, and official formation of the BKAD are formalized through a Joint Village Head Regulation (Peraturan Bersama Kepala Desa) regarding Village Cooperation.
- Accountability: The BKAD is directly responsible to the respective Village Heads of the participating villages.
Types of Village Cooperation
A professional Collaborative Governance Framework categorizes cooperation into two primary streams:
- Inter-Village Cooperation: Collaboration between two or more villages within the same or different sub-districts to achieve shared developmental goals.
- Cooperation with Third Parties: Partnerships between the Village and private entities, NGOs, or other organizations to accelerate infrastructure or economic development.
Conclusion: Institutionalizing Regional Synergy
In conclusion, Permendagri 96/2017 is the definitive instrument for Inter-Village Strategic Alliance and a Collaborative Governance Framework. It transitions village management from isolated administration into a networked ecosystem of mutual growth. By utilizing the BKAD, villages can secure higher bargaining power, optimize the use of the Village Fund (Dana Desa) for joint projects, and ensure that regional development is inclusive and sustainable. Synergy today ensures a more resilient and competitive village cluster tomorrow.
