In addition to being places of worship, mosques have significant social and educational roles in society, particularly in the development of children's religious understanding and character.

In the era of globalization, the empowerment of local potential has become increasingly important, especially at the village level. The village of Semar in Pagerwojo District, Tulungagung Regency, is a major dairy-producing area, with 60% of its population engaged in dairy farming. However, the Sri Wigati Dairy Cooperative (KUD), which has traditionally been the primary buyer of milk, is facing management issues, forcing farmers to sell their milk to private collectors with limited capacity. As a result, a significant portion of the milk goes unsold, posing a potential economic loss. To address this, a previous community service initiative taught farmers how to process milk into milk crackers, although these products have remained limited to local consumption despite their added value. Therefore, the focus must shift to the regional or national market. This community service program aims to: 1) enhance the competitiveness of local products, 2) empower the community, 3) optimize the value chain, 4) increase income, 5) develop a sustainable business model, 6) foster partnerships, and 7) improve community knowledge and skills. The outcomes of this initiative align with the established goals, marking a positive first step towards improving the welfare and economy of the Semar Village community

The results demonstrate increased community participation in both religious and social activities, enhanced academic performance of students, improved youth health awareness, and a boost in local economic income. The success of this program underscores the importance of mosque-centered initiatives in fostering community development and social welfare.

This research aims to launch the development of mosque activities in Bukit Peninjauan 1 Village, Sukaraja District, Seluma Regency, in order to increase public awareness of the function of mosques as centers of social and religious activities. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach, which includes in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), participant observation, and documentation. The research results show that people's perception of mosques is still limited to their main worship function, with low awareness of the potential of mosques as educational, social and economic centers. The level of community participation in non-worship activities is also relatively low, with the majority of the community only active in congregational prayers and routine recitation activities. Some of the main challenges identified include limited resources, lack of community support, and inadequate facilities. This research concludes that to optimize the role of mosques as multifunctional activity centers, more intensive outreach efforts are needed, program development that is relevant to community needs, as well as collaborative support from various parties. With these steps, the Al-Amin Mosque in Bukit Peninjauan 1 Village has the potential to become the center of a more active and productive community life.

Employee competency development is a key aspect in increasing performance productivity within the State Civil Service Agency (BKN). This research aims to identify the influence of competency development on employee performance productivity at BKN. The research method used is a survey and data analysis using linear regression techniques. This research was carried out in 2024, with the research locus at the Deputy for Supervision and Control of BKN. The research sample consisted of employees involved in the competency development program at BKN. The independent variable is competence, while the dependent variable is employee performance productivity. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant positive relationship between competency development and employee performance productivity. It is known that the coefficient of determination or R²  value is 57,1%. This figure means that the competency variable (X1) has an effect on the work productivity variable (Y) by 57.1%. Meanwhile, the remainder (100% - 57.1% = 42.9%) is influenced by other variables outside this equation or variables that were not studied. These findings highlight the importance of investing in competency development as a strategy to increase employee performance productivity at BKN. Managerial implications and policy recommendations are presented to support efforts to develop human resources and increase BKN organizational efficiency. This research provides an important contribution in understanding the dynamics of the relationship between competency and employee performance productivity in the government context.
