Strategi Penguatan Kapasitas Kelompok mantan Tenaga Kerja Wanita luar negeri (Studi Kasus di Desa Cibaregbeg Kecamatan Cibeber Kabupaten Cianjur)

Abstract

Pola pendekatan pemberdayaan masyarakat sekarang ini banyak dilakukan melalui kelompok. Mereka diorganisir dalam satu wadah dan dimultifungsikan menjadi media pembelajaran anggota sekaligus proses tukar menukar informasi, pengetahuan, dan sikap. Secara perlahan kekuatan individu akan muncul menjadi kekuatan kelompok. Namun dalam beberapa kasus tidak sedikit kelompok yang telah dibentuk mengalami masalah dalam melaksanakan kegiatannya. Hal ini disebabkan kelompok masih dipandang sebagai sekumpulan orang – orang yang lemah, pasif, dan tidak mempunyai pengetahuan. Dalam pelaksanaan kegiatan biasanya kelompok seperti ini akan selalu berkonsultasi dengan pendamping kelompok dan bersifat menunggu perintah. Akibatnya bukan keberdayaan dan kekuatan kelompok yang dihasilkan, melainkan ketergantungan kelompok kepada pendamping kelompok yang semakin besar.
