Food sovereignty is one of the main programs of the Indonesian government at this time. Food sovereignty must start from gradual food self-sufficiency followed by an increase in the added value of agricultural businesses that are widely used to improve the welfare of farmers. Some of the obstacles include land status, land to be printed is recorded as a forest area, water sources do not yet have adequate irrigation networks. The purpose of this service is to evaluate the achievement of the rice field printing program, analyze obstacles in achieving the program to re-optimize rice field printing land. The methods used are the Survey Preparation Stage, Survey Stage, Investigation Stage and Evaluation Stage and Report Preparation. The results obtained are: the rice field printing program only reached 10 hectares of the expected 200 hectares or only reached 5%, so real follow-up action is needed from the recommended steps, namely: increasing PPL, improving irrigation networks, adding facilities and infrastructure, and rice fields are used as secondary crops. Although there are obstacles faced, they can be resolved well.

The ability to read the Qur'an is an essential skill that every Muslim should possess. However, current trends show a decline in Qur'anic literacy levels in Indonesia. According to data, about 65% of Muslims in Indonesia are still unable to read the Qur'an. One way to address this issue is by implementing an effective Qur'anic learning method. This community service program uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving students, religious teachers, and school staff. Over the course of six months, 45 female students participated in Qur'anic learning using the Tilawati method. The evaluation results showed a 75% improvement in their Qur'anic reading ability, with 85% of the students able to read the Qur'an correctly and in accordance with tajwid rules. Additionally, the program successfully formed independent study groups and created local leaders among the students. The implementation of the Tilawati method also had a positive impact on the family environment, strengthened the school's commitment to Qur'anic literacy programs, and encouraged a shift in the students' mindset toward Qur'anic learning. The sustainability of this program is ensured through the establishment of an organizational structure and a systematic evaluation mechanism.

Fecal incontinence (IF) is the inability to control the release of feces, often occurring in the elderly due to decreased physiological function of the pelvic muscles. Assessment of the severity of fecal incontinence requires a valid instrument such as the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI), which is based on a score to classify IF conditions. This community service activity was carried out with 93 elderly participants who took part in the FISI examination and education in order to increase understanding of the severity of fecal incontinence and the importance of preventive measures through early detection. The education program was carried out using the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method which provides information related to risks, preventive efforts, and healthy lifestyle-based management steps. The average FISI score shows variations in severity among participants, providing an objective picture of the condition of the elderly. FISI acts as an important evaluation tool for monitoring and education, helping the elderly and their families understand their condition and take preventive measures. FISI examination in this program improves the quality of life of the elderly through effective education and prevention strategies

Community development programs are very important in reducing poverty and enhancing societal prosperity by improving quality of life, fostering economic empowerment, and promoting inclusivity. However, not all the programs have success as expected. This study examines ten evaluation studies of community development programs across various areas and tries to find common weaknesses. A qualitative analysis of evaluation studies identifies shortcomings in three domains i.e. program design and management, stakeholder engagement and participation, and external resource constraints. It is argued that these shortcomings are largely predictable and highlight the need for proactive strategies. The paper suggests that embedding risk management into the conception and implementation of community development programs can mitigate these challenges. A simplified framework adapted from project management practices is proposed, encompassing risk identification, measurement, assessment, evaluation, and control. By systematically integrating risk management, community programs can anticipate obstacles, strengthen accountability, and enhance their likelihood of success. Recommendations include applying risk management throughout program cycles and conducting post-implementation evaluations to inform future initiatives.

Evaluation plays an important role in education and training programs. Without evaluation, we cannot know the level of success of training participants and there will also be no opportunity for improvement. Education and training evaluation is a process to obtain information and data related to the learning outcomes experienced by training participants. The evaluation program in training includes principles, models, implementation, and follow-up. This evaluation has four levels and stages, namely: the evaluation planning stage, data collection, analysis, and reporting of evaluation results. Ultimately, training evaluation is used to make decisions about the benefits of the training program, whether the program will be continued or stopped, and what needs to be improved if the program is to be continued.

Indonesia is a country that faces a high risk of multiple disasters, one of which is fire disasters that can be prevented by the community through preparedness and early detection. The community service program, implemented by a team of lecturers and students from the Disaster Management Study Program at Budi Luhur University in collaboration with the Tanjungpinang SAR Office, conducted a basic fire extinguishing training session at SMAN 2 Tanjungpinang. The target audience for this training was students involved in the Scout, Paskibraka, and PKS (School Security Patrol) extracurricular activities, aimed at increasing student preparedness for fire emergencies. The activities included both theoretical materials and practical exercises on extinguishing fires and techniques for victim evacuation. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' knowledge, particularly regarding the basic concepts of fire and victim movement, with understanding levels ranging from 45% to 100%, depending on the material. Although the results were positive, areas such as the type of fire extinguisher material and victim transfer techniques require further emphasis. This collaboration between educational institutions and disaster response agencies has proven effective in building student awareness to deal with emergency situations. Recommendations for future training include adopting a more interactive approach and incorporating intensive simulations to enhance students' understanding and readiness to face disaster.

Posyandu Ngadi Asih has a cadre of 20 people and has implemented 5 posyandu service tables but it is not yet optimal. The initial survey at Posyandu Ngadi Asih Surakarta found children who indicated mental and emotional problems such as impulsive tantrums (fussing with shouting and throwing objects) when their wishes were not met, anger when restricted in using gadgets, hitting their peers, and being reluctant to go to school because they were afraid. The problem found at Posyandu Ngadi Asih was that early detection examinations for mental, emotional and behavioral health had not been carried out. This is due to the limited knowledge and skills of cadres. The root of the problem is that there is no instrument for early detection of mental, emotional and behavioral problems, so that so far at Posyandu Ngadi Asih there has been no recap of data on children who experience mental, emotional and behavioral problems. The solution offered by this program is the Implementation of the Emotional Mental Problems Information System (SIEMPRO). Implementation method with 6 (six) stages, namely preparation, apperception, training, mentoring, evaluation and termination. The results of the program for implementing the Emotional Mental Problems Information System (SIEMPRO) at Posyandu Ngadi Asih have gone well.
