This study uses a qualitative approach with case study type. The data sources in this study are two types, namely primary data, and secondary data. Data retrieval through interviews, observations, and documentation. The selection of informants is done by purposive sampling. Purposive sampling is selected by assigning informants based on criteria. Informants in this study are facilitators in Pendopo Kembangkopi, youth groups, and farmers who are in contact with the activities of Pendopo Kembangkopi. Informants are chosen from elements that understand community empowerment programs conducted by facilitators in Pendopo Kembangkopi. Data analysis is conducted with the Miles & Huberman model, through (1) data collection, (2) data reduction, (3) data presentation, and (4) conclusion drawing. Checking the validity of the findings is done by triangulation of sources and triangulation techniques. The results of this study show that there are three things in the strategy carried out by the facilitators in Pendopo Kembangkopi. The first stage is education, the facilitators provide learning to the surrounding community through business development services to improve the quality of small-micro-business production of the community, through training activities and chat activities together Sunday morning to increase the capacity of human resources and identify environmental conditions and changes over time. This stage aims to raise critical awareness of the community to be able to identify assets / capital, problems, and the root of the problem. The second stage is action, at this stage the facilitators invite the community to be able to think critically and find alternative programs to overcome the problems that arise in their lives. At this stage, critical awareness of the community began to emerge, and they began to be able to plan alternative programs that can be done based on data on the identification of assets / capital livelihoods. The third stage is advocacy, at this stage the facilitators provide market access and capital support, connect with the parties to provide added value, improve the capacity and quality of human resources, and provide recommendations to the parties based on the sustainable livelihood strategy planning document that has been prepared with the community. All stakeholders can support each other’s development and community empowerment programs. Both public, private, and CSOs sectors. The public sector includes village, district, provincial and central government governments that can take positions as regulators or mediators of good governance to regulate regulatory patterns so that community empowerment activities can grow strongly at the grassroots, the private sector can provide program strengthening support by providing intensive mentoring, market access support, and various other support that cannot be played by the government in order to strengthen organized civil society. While in the CSOs sector or organized civil society is not only played by NGOs but also other community organizations such as time organizations that are interested in certain things, such as various associations, such as community organizations, labor organizations, arts and cultural organizations, and similar organizations.
