Abstract

This final report presents the results of the Social Forestry Thematic Community Service Program (KKNT) 21, conducted by Mulawarman University Class 51 in 2025 at Saliki Village, Muara Badak Subdistrict, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The program aimed to strengthen community institutional capacity, particularly the Forest Farmer Group (KTH) Maccini Baji Taddutan, through a series of work programs including the production of a village potential video, civil law socialization and legal assistance, basic bookkeeping training, environmentally based entrepreneurship workshops, MSME digitalization, as well as legal and taxation literacy campaigns. The outcomes demonstrated an increase in community understanding in legal, economic, social, and environmental aspects, thereby supporting the establishment of more accountable institutional governance and the development of sustainable local-based economic growth. Thus, this KKNT program makes a tangible contribution to the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, strengthening village independence, and supporting participatory and sustainable legal and social development.
