Dewi Nadia — 2026-06-29

Women’s economic empowerment is a crucial element of sustainable development, particularly in rural areas that rely heavily on informal sectors and creative industries. One strategic approach to empowerment is through the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) based on traditional crafts. In Solok Selatan Regency, embossed embroidery MSMEs serve as an important medium for enhancing women’s household income while preserving Minangkabau cultural heritage. This research employs a descriptive qualitative field research approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation using both primary and secondary data sources. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that embossed embroidery MSMEs play a significant role in improving women’s skills, income, and economic independence. Embroidery activities not only provide economic benefits but also strengthen social capital, self-confidence, and women’s cultural identity. However, challenges remain, including limited capital, lack of design innovation, and inadequate digital marketing. Therefore, continuous support from government and stakeholders is necessary to ensure the sustainable development of embossed embroidery MSMEs as a model of women’s economic empowerment based on local wisdom

From the fieldwork conducted by the researcher, it can be concluded that the Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) strategy in Koto Tuo Village, Harau District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency, has been implemented through planning, implementation, and monitoring stages, involving the village government and local community elements. During the planning stage, BLT recipients were determined through a special village meeting and established criteria to ensure appropriate distribution. BLT implementation followed existing regulations, although several challenges remained, such as budget limitations and beneficiary data collection. Meanwhile, oversight was carried out by the village government and relevant institutions to mitigate potential irregularities in aid distribution. The BLT program has had a positive impact on the economic resilience of recipients, particularly in meeting basic needs and reducing household economic stress. However, in terms of community empowerment, the Direct Cash Assistance (BLT) is still temporary and has not yet fully encouraged recipients' economic independence. Key challenges in implementing BLT include limited funding, inaccurate recipient data, and the dependence of some communities on aid. Therefore, a follow-up strategy is needed that combines BLT with economic empowerment programs to achieve sustainable community economic resilience.
