He noted that the working group management\nterm lasts one year, and the Economic Programme Division is currently\npreparing for the socialisation of the formation of 2026 working group\ncommittees.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the formation of village working groups is carried\nout by the village communities themselves. Each working group committee\nconsists of five members chosen by the community to represent five\nelements within the village: village officials, customary leaders,\nwomen\u2019s representatives, youth representatives, and religious\nfigures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach element must be represented by one person in the committee,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>Once a working group is formed, the committee holds meetings with the\ncommunity to discuss and finalise a Budget Plan (RAB) for the village\nwork programme. The work programme is focused on community economic\nempowerment with the participation of village residents.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed hope that communities would make good use of the Village\nPokja programme to improve their economic livelihoods through the\neconomic empowerment programmes that have been jointly developed with\nresidents in each working group.<\/p>",
