Abstract

Desa Sendangrejo, Kecamatan Minggir, Kabupaten Sleman, DIY memiliki potensi besar dalam sektor perikanan air tawar, terutama dalam budi daya ikan nila. Meskipun begitu, desa ini menghadapi tantangan berupa harga ikan yang rendah dan ketidakmampuan untuk mengolah ikan secara efisien, yang menyebabkan kerugian bagi pembudi daya. Untuk mengatasi masalah ini, PPK Ormawa Nawasatya UGM melaksanakan program pelatihan diversifikasi produk olahan ikan nila bagi ibu-ibu KWT dan PKK Desa Sendangrejo. Program ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mengolah ikan nila menjadi produk bernilai tambah, seperti nuget dan stik ikan yang dapat memperpanjang masa simpan dan menarik minat konsumen. Melalui metode pelatihan partisipatif dengan pendekatan PRA dan demonstrasi percobaan, hasil evaluasi pre-test dan post-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pengetahuan dan keterampilan peserta. Program ini tidak hanya membantu meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat, tetapi juga berpotensi menjadikan Desa Sendangrejo sebagai pusat pengolahan ikan yang berkualitas. Kesuksesan program ini menandakan pentingnya dukungan berkelanjutan dan pendampingan lebih lanjut untuk pengembangan potensi kewirausahaan berbasis perikanan di Desa Sendangrejo.  

Review

The reviewed abstract details an impactful community empowerment program titled "Pelatihan Diversifikasi Produk Olahan Ikan Nila sebagai Upaya Peningkatan Perekonomian Desa Sendangrejo." This initiative directly addresses a critical socio-economic challenge faced by Sendangrejo Village, which, despite its significant potential in freshwater aquaculture, struggles with low fish prices and inadequate processing capabilities. By focusing on training mothers' groups (KWT and PKK) to diversify Nile tilapia products into value-added items like nuggets and fish sticks, the program effectively targets increased income generation and improved food security. The immediate success in enhancing participants' knowledge and skills, as evidenced by pre- and post-test results, underscores the program's direct relevance and effectiveness in community development. A notable strength of this program lies in its practical, hands-on approach and clear problem-solution framework. The selection of specific, marketable products like nuggets and fish sticks demonstrates an understanding of consumer demand and the need for extended shelf life, moving beyond raw fish sales. The methodology, incorporating participatory rural appraisal (PRA) and experimental demonstrations, ensures deep community engagement and practical skill acquisition, which is crucial for sustainable adoption. The quantitative assessment through pre-test and post-test data provides robust evidence of the program's immediate impact on participant competency, offering a clear measure of its educational efficacy and potential to foster local entrepreneurship. While the program demonstrates significant initial success, future efforts and reporting could benefit from addressing several points for a more comprehensive understanding of its long-term impact. Specifically, incorporating data on actual income generated from sales, the sustainability of the newly established businesses, and challenges faced in market penetration would provide a more complete picture of economic upliftment. Furthermore, discussing the specific support mechanisms for continued entrepreneurship, such as access to capital, branding, or larger market linkages, would strengthen its strategic value. Despite these areas for further exploration, this program represents a commendable and well-executed intervention with strong potential to transform local economies and establish Sendangrejo as a hub for quality processed fish products, warranting continued support and replication.
