Abstract
The existence of a village, either as a government institution or as a customary law community unit, becomes very important and has a strategic role in achieving the national development goals. In Indonesia, there are 16 thousand villages that categorized as a remote, poor and abandoned villages. This condition is on contraty to the objectives of the regional autonomy namely to expand public welfare. Government policy rarely responds the local dynamics of rural areas. The implementation of Law of The Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2014 on Village mandates that villages must be independent socially, culturally, economically, and politically. The strategic measurement that has to be put forward by the government to solve this problem is to strengthen rural economic institutions within the framework of national development through an affirmative policy model for strengthening the rural economic institutions in Indonesia.
