Abstract

This community service program aimed to strengthen the organizational capacity of the Women Farmers Group (KWT) Puspitasari in Sampangan, Semarang, Indonesia. The group faced challenges related to ineffective organizational management, weak internal communication, and the absence of strategic planning and digital documentation. The program implemented training and mentoring based on the POAC management cycle (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling), combined with guidance on internal communication and basic digital archiving using accessible tools such as Google Drive and spreadsheets. The activity involved 23 participants and was conducted through interactive lectures, demonstrations, and group discussions. Program effectiveness was evaluated using a pretest–posttest design. The mean score increased from 64.35 to 83.04, indicating significant improvement (t(22)=16.36; p<0.001). The results demonstrate that targeted capacity building improves participants’ knowledge and readiness in organizational planning, role distribution, meeting documentation, and evidence-based evaluation. This program contributes to strengthening women’s community organizations and supports SDG 8 through more productive and sustainable urban farming activities.
