This study aims to formulate an integrative conceptual framework regarding the role of research methods in the formation of evidence-based village policy (EBP). The main focus is how qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research can be used to produce more inclusive, transparent, and accountable policies in the context of village development in Indonesia. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to scientific publications indexed by Scopus, Web of Science, and SINTA for the period 2015–2025. The literature synthesis shows that research methods play a crucial role in identifying village community needs, improving data quality, and strengthening accountability in the policy formulation process. The EBP approach has been shown to encourage citizen participation, increase transparency in village fund allocation, and minimize the dominance of short-term political interests. However, its implementation faces challenges such as limited capacity of village officials, inadequate data infrastructure, and low policy literacy at the local level. These findings are relevant for strengthening village capacity in managing development funds, developing policies based on the real needs of residents, and promoting social accountability. This article makes a new contribution to the local public policy literature by emphasizing the importance of research as an instrument for strengthening village governance.

This study aims to analyze and describe the effectiveness of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) management, as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors in Negeri Amahusu, Nusaniwe District, Ambon City. The research employs a qualitative method with in-depth interview techniques for data collection.Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the management of Village Fund Allocation (ADD) in Negeri Amahusu is transparent, but community participation needs to be improved through more effective socialization and communication.

Financial administration is carried out accountably, despite encountering technical difficulties in transaction recording. The capacity of village officials still requires improvement, particularly in understanding updated regulations and financial reporting. Community participation is relatively high in village meetings and mutual cooperation activities, although material contributions remain limited. Coordination between institutions functions effectively, yet formal communication must be enhanced to ensure clearer information dissemination and greater community involvement.

Villages have a very important role in development in Indonesia, so the role of villages in development must be recognized and developed to ensure the achievement of welfare and progress of the village community. In running the government in a village, the village government certainly requires a number of funds. In Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, it is stated that villages have sources of income in the form of original village income, budget allocations from the State Budget (APBN), part of the results of regional taxes and regional levies of districts/cities, Village Fund Allocations which are part of the balancing funds received by districts/cities, financial assistance from the provincial APBD and district/city APBD, grants and donations that are not included from third parties, and other legitimate village income. As an implementing regulation of Law 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, the Government issued Government Regulation Number 60 of 2014 as amended by Government Regulation Number 22 of 2015 concerning Village Funds Sourced from the State Budget. Village Funds are funds sourced from the APBN which are allocated for villages that are transferred through the district/city APBD and are used to finance the implementation of government, implementation of development, community training, and community empowerment.

Accountability in managing Village Fund Allocation (ADD) is crucial to ensure effective, efficient, and compliant use of the funds. This study investigates how accountability in ADD management is implemented in Lattimu Village, Bola Subdistrict, Wajo Regency, through planning, implementation, and reporting stages while identifying supporting and inhibiting factors. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that ADD accountability in Lattimu Village aligns with applicable regulations, covering planning, implementation, and reporting processes. Active community participation during village meetings emerged as a significant supporting factor. However, challenges such as limited technological proficiency among village officials and the community's low educational levels hinder effective management. The study recommends increasing human resource capacity through technical training and fostering greater community involvement in decision-making forums. Strengthening these aspects is expected to enhance the transparency, effectiveness, and efficiency of ADD management, ensuring better outcomes for the village development initiatives.

Village funds disbursed by the government sourced from the APBN are still considered as assets that continue to be targeted by certain Village Heads with low morals. The high political costs to get the number one seat in the village cause people to do anything to get it. Because the village funds disbursed are quite tempting. In just one year in mathematical calculations, the capital spent during the process of getting the position of village head can be returned. Therefore, the suboptimal performance of the village head is due to many stumbling blocks of interest. The village head is no longer focused on the promised programs. The village head only focuses on efforts to return the campaign funds spent so far. The high number of corruption cases that hit the village head if it does not become the government's attention, the disbursement of village funds which were originally intended to make the village strong, advanced and independent will be in vain. That is why the role of the Village Consultative Body is needed here, an independent institution whose status is outside the village government. The function of the BPD which is expressly stated in the village law has not been implemented optimally, this results in village fund leaks always occurring every year in almost all regions of Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal research type, namely research that focuses on research on related laws and regulations. The results of this study indicate that Village Fund Supervision in Improving the Performance of the Village Consultative Body has not been guided and based on the principles of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. The BPD has not fully carried out its functions. And the obstacles experienced are mainly in the HR aspect besides the absence of regulations that explicitly explain how the technical supervision of the allocation of village funds.

The concrete effort made by the government is to implement the Village Fund Policy in the APBN.
