Abstract

Effective Archive Management is a crucial aspect of government administration, supporting sound decision-making, strategic planning, and policy evaluation. However, in many government institutions, particularly at the village level, archive management is often carried out conventionally, leading to inefficiencies and the potential loss of vital information. This research aims to enhance the capacity of village government employees in archive management through comprehensive training. The training, conducted in Negeri Sameth, Kecamatan Pulau Haruku, was designed to provide a deep understanding of effective archival systems, encompassing fundamental principles, management techniques, and the use of information technology, as well as hands-on practice in archive management. The training results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of basic archival concepts (85%), as well as the acquisition of essential practical skills. The training contributed to improved administrative efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the management of public information, which supports data-driven decision-making and builds public trust in the village government. This archive management training represents a strategic investment in human resource capacity building and the enhancement of government quality at the village level, which in turn has a positive impact on the community. Continuous evaluation and development of training programs, as well as support from local governments and related institutions, are needed to ensure sustainability and greater benefits.
