UNM Ensures Community Service Grants Deliver Tangible Impact
Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM), acting as a Digital Business Campus, through its Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM), conducted a Monitoring and Evaluation (Monev) session for the 2026 progress reports of the DPPM Kemdiktisaintek Community Service Grant. The event took place at the RW 011 Community Hall, Jalan Wijaya Kusuma, Pamulang Indah Housing, East Pamulang, South Tangerang, on Wednesday (26/08/2026).
The activity, which ran from 10:00 to 12:00 WIB, was attended by 13 participants, including lecturers and students receiving the grant, as well as PKK cadres from the East Pamulang sub-district, accompanied by Agus Effermendi, the Head of RW 011.
The session began with an opening by Siti Fauziah from the Community Service Unit of LPPM UNM, followed by a progress report presentation by Dr Sukmawati Anggraeni Putri. The programme, titled “One-Click User-Friendly Technology for Integrated Early Nutritional Intervention for Toddlers to Prevent Wasting,” was presented to the PKK cadres of East Pamulang.
This programme utilises user-friendly technology to assist PKK cadres in supporting the monitoring and early intervention of nutritional issues in toddlers in a more integrated manner.
The Head of LPPM at Universitas Nusa Mandiri, Andi Saryoko, stated that the monitoring and evaluation process is a vital component to ensure that grant programmes do not merely meet administrative requirements but also achieve their targets and provide benefits to partners.
“Monev serves as an important instrument for LPPM to ensure every grant programme is accountable, follows the plan, and achieves measurable results. We also want to ensure that the developed technology truly addresses the needs of our partners and provides real benefits to the community,” Andi said in a release received on Friday (04/09/2026).
According to Andi, the evaluation covers several aspects, ranging from the alignment of logbooks with actual fund usage and the readiness of the Statement of Expenditure Responsibility (SPTB), to the progress of programme achievements in the field.
Following the presentation, the session continued with a Q&A, feedback, and input for the grant recipients. The evaluation was conducted by Dr Linda Marlinda, acting as a reviewer, involving the grant-receiving lecturers and partners from the East Pamulang PKK cadres.
“What we are encouraging is not just the completeness of reports, but also the sustainability of the programme. Collaboration between lecturers, students, and the community must produce relevant, scalable solutions that have a lasting impact,” she remarked.
In conducting this monitoring and evaluation, UNM reaffirmed its commitment as a Digital Business Campus to promote technology-based research and community service that aligns with societal needs. “Through the 2026 DPPM Kemdiktisaintek grant, UNM continues to provide opportunities for lecturers and students to develop innovations while making a real contribution to society,” he added.
With the evaluation conducted directly alongside partners, LPPM UNM hopes that the ‘One-Click Nutrition’ programme can continue to evolve and support efforts to prevent nutritional issues in toddlers in the East Pamulang sub-district.
