Penta-Helix Collaboration Approach in Achieving of SDGs Desa: Best Practice from Ketapanrame Village, Mojokerto, East Java

Abstract

The implementation of UU/2014 allows villages in East Java, Indonesia, to have considerable authority in managing and utilising their potential for the community's well-being. The government realised its commitment to giving more attention to total and sustainable development in the village through the SDGs Desa (village) concept. The SDGs Desa is a global SDGs localisation strategy to reach the villages so that a sustainable development process occurs according to local cultural conditions and needs. This article results from a qualitative study in which data were collected through in-depth interviews with several informants and supported by field observations in Ketapanrame, Mojokerto. The findings indicate that SDGs Desa is a new hope for developing community welfare in the village, which is achieved by collaboration among many actors such as the Government, academic/ university, private Sector, community and media, or the penta-helix collaboration. The success of this approach was evident from the efforts of the Ketapanrame Village administration, which plays a crucial role in managing BUMDES (Village-Owned Enterprises).
