This study aims to analyze the strengthening of independent villages through contributions from the government, private sector, and community in South Konawe Regency. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach involving 25 informants selected purposively. Data collection techniques were carried out through in depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using an interactive model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data from 2024 shows that South Konawe Regency has 2 independent villages, 56 developed villages, 270 developing villages, and 8 underdeveloped villages. This condition indicates that strengthening independent villages still requires support from various parties through development based on local potential and community empowerment. The results of the study indicate that strengthening independent villages is influenced by synergy between the government, the private sector, and the community. The government plays a role through strengthening village governance, developing Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes), cooperatives, MSMEs, food security programs, social assistance, and mentoring village development based on community participation. The private sector contributes through the development of cooperatives, support for MSMEs, and the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in empowering village communities. Meanwhile, the community plays an active role through village deliberations, mutual cooperation activities, local potential management, and participation in village business development. Thus, ongoing collaboration between the government, the private sector, and the community is a crucial factor in realizing sustainable, independent village development in South Konawe Regency.
