Strengthening the Role and Capacity of DPRD Members in Performing Legislative, Budgeting, and Public Representation Functions
Main Article Content
Abstract
Members of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) play an important role in regional governance through their legislative, budgeting, and public representation functions. Carrying out these functions requires an adequate understanding of regulations, regional policies, budgeting, and community needs. This community service activity aimed to strengthen the roles and capacities of members of the Jambi Provincial DPRD in performing their legislative, budgeting, and public representation functions. The activity was conducted from May 14 to 17, 2026, at Luminor Hotel Jambi, involving 45 members of the Jambi Provincial DPRD. The activity employed an educational and participatory approach through presentations, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and case studies related to the duties and functions of the DPRD. The topics covered the formulation of Regional Regulations (Perda), regional budgeting, and the collection and management of community aspirations. The results showed that participants responded positively and actively engaged in discussions and case studies. Participants were also able to relate the materials to their duties and the challenges encountered in carrying out their functions. These results indicate that an educational and participatory approach can support the improvement of DPRD members’ understanding and capacity. Continuous capacity building is needed to support more effective and responsive legislative, budgeting, and public representation functions in accordance with community needs.
