Securing the Transition: Implementing Inter-Village Representation for a Smooth Legal Succession

The issuance of the Village Delegation Decree (SK Delegasi Desa) is a critical administrative step in fulfilling the mandate of Article 7, Paragraph 1 of Ministry of Villages, PDTT Regulation Number 21 of 2021. This regulation governs the Legal Succession of Revolving Fund Management (DBM) from the former PNPM Mandiri Perdesaan into a Joint Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDesma). To ensure that the transition of assets and institutional structures is conducted with total Inter-Village Representation, each village must officially appoint a team of delegates to advocate for their community’s interests during the inter-village forums.

The Village Delegation Team acts as the official voice of the village in the Inter-Village Consultative Meeting (MAD). Their role is essential to ensure that the Legal Succession process remains transparent, participatory, and compliant with national legislation, protecting billions in community-owned revolving assets.

Strategic Mandate of the Village Delegation Team

The Team of Delegates, as established by the Village Head’s Decree, carries a heavy responsibility in managing the Inter-Village Representation. Their primary duties include:

• Active Forum Participation: Representing the village in the MAD for the transformation of PNPM assets into a BUMDesma structure.
• Regulatory Consensus: Reviewing and agreeing upon the MAD Rules of Procedure and the Joint Village Head Regulation (Permakades).
• Constitutional Drafting: Deliberating and finalizing the Articles of Association (AD) and the Bylaws (ART) of the new BUMDesma.
• Strategic Planning: Assisting in the formulation of the BUMDesma Work Plan to ensure long-term profitability.
• Asset Stewardship: Safeguarding the sustainability of fund management and protecting the legacy of participatory development.
• Governance Oversight: Discussing and approving the professional organizational structure of the BUMDesma.
• Accountability: Providing formal reports on the progress of inter-village cooperation to the community through the Village Consultative Body (BPD).

Ensuring Integrity in the Transformation Process

By formalizing Inter-Village Representation through a decree, the village government provides legal certainty for its representatives. This Legal Succession model ensures that the transition from a government program (PNPM) to a corporate legal entity (BUMDesma) is not merely a name change but a professional upgrade. Delegates are tasked with ensuring that the revolving funds—originally designed for poverty alleviation—remain secure and continue to benefit the village’s most vulnerable residents under the new corporate management.
Furthermore, a strong delegation team ensures that the village’s specific potential and local wisdom are integrated into the joint enterprise’s strategic goals. This balanced approach is the key to creating a BUMDesma that is both commercially competitive and socially responsible.

Conclusion: Empowering Local Voices for Regional Success

In conclusion, the SK Delegasi Desa is the ultimate instrument for Inter-Village Representation and Legal Succession. By appointing a dedicated and capable team, villages can navigate the complex transformation process with confidence and integrity. Professionalism in delegation today is the key to a prosperous and resilient BUMDesma legacy tomorrow.
