Sosialisasi Manajemen Risiko dan Mitigasi Koperasi pada Desa Berstatus Swakarya dan Mandiri

Abstract

This community service initiative aims to enhance the understanding of cooperative administrators and village officials in Tompobulu Village, Tompobulu District, Maros Regency, regarding the importance of risk management and mitigation in cooperative operations. Tompobulu Village is currently a *swakarya* (transitional/developing) village striving for economic self-reliance, covering an area of ​​91.98 km² with a population of 3,628. Aligned with the government's "Koperasi Desa Merah Putih" (Red and White Village Cooperative) national program—designed to establish a foundation for grassroots economic self-sufficiency—village-level cooperatives face various challenges that require a solid grasp of risk management. The activity employed a participatory approach involving lectures, interactive discussions, and case study simulations. The results indicate an improved understanding among participants regarding cooperative risk management concepts, the identification of operational risks, and applicable mitigation strategies. This initiative is expected to serve as a preliminary step toward strengthening the institutional capacity of the cooperative to support the economic self-reliance of Tompobulu Village.
