This research aims to evaluate the impacts of village fund allocations on economic empowerment and poverty reduction among low-income populations in Klungkung Regency, Bali. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, the study engaged 259 participants across 37 villages. Methods included observations, interviews, and in-depth interviews for data gathering. Analytical techniques encompassed descriptive statistics, mean difference tests, and path analysis. Key findings reveal that: (1) village funds significantly bolster economic empowerment for low-income groups; (2) while village funds alone do not directly reduce poverty levels, economic empowerment contributes to a marked decrease in poverty; (3) economic empowerment serves as a complete mediator in the relationship between village funds and poverty reduction; (4) the program's implementation exhibits strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats which collectively influence its effectiveness; (5) post-program poverty levels show a notable decline compared to pre-program figures. This study underscores the scarcity of research measuring community empowerment and poverty in relation to village funds, highlighting its potential as a policy-making reference. Contributing to regional economic development literature, this study supports the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through an integrative analysis of village fund efficacy.
