Abstract: This study aims to analyze the role of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in increasing Village Original Income (PADes) and empowering the local economy in Hanggira Village, Poso Regency, Central Sulawesi. This research employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation involving the village head, BUMDes managers, and community members who directly benefited from BUMDes programs. The findings reveal that BUMDes plays an important role in increasing PADes through the management of agricultural equipment rental services. Furthermore, BUMDes contributes to reducing agricultural production costs and improving community access to productive resources. The effectiveness of BUMDes is influenced by several factors, including government support, managerial capacity, community awareness, and business development strategies. This study confirms that BUMDes can become a driving force for the village economy when supported by good governance and strong community participation.
