Budget Plan: Village Medium-Term Development Plan Formulation

Formulating the Village Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJM Desa) is a mandatory obligation for a Village Head shortly after being inaugurated, as mandated by Village Law Number 6 of 2014. The first essential step in this administrative journey is drafting the RAB Penyusunan RPJM Desa (Budget Plan for RPJM Formulation).

This budget ensures that the 6-year strategic planning aligns perfectly with the Village Head’s vision and mission. The RPJM Desa serves as the primary benchmark for the elected official’s performance and development goals throughout their term of office.

Stages of RPJM Desa Formulation

According to Permendesa Number 21 of 2020, the formulation of the RPJM Desa Document must follow these systematic stages, all of which require specific budget allocations:

1. Formation of the RPJM Desa Drafting Team: Establishing a dedicated team through a formal decree.
2. Alignment of Development Policies: Reviewing and harmonizing village plans with Regency/Provincial/National policies.
3. Drafting the RPJM Desa: The technical process of writing the development roadmap.
4. Musrenbang Desa: Organizing the Village Development Planning Deliberation to discuss the draft.
5. Village Meeting (Musyawarah Desa): Discussing, agreeing upon, and formalizing the RPJM Desa.
6. Socialization: Informing the community about the 6-year plan through various media and public forums.

Budgetary Components in the Excel Template

When preparing the MS Office Excel file for this activity, the following expenditure items are typically included:

• Honorariums: Incentives for the Drafting Team members.
• Meeting Operational Costs: Consumption (food/drinks), stationery (ATK), and venue rental for Musrenbang and Musdes.
• Survey & Data Collection: Costs associated with field reviews and gathering village profile data.
• Documentation & Printing: Reproduction of the final RPJM Desa book and informational banners for socialization.
