Analisis Dampak Program Pemberdayaan Usaha Kecil, Menengah dan Mikro pada Dinas Koperasi dan UKM Provinsi Sumatera Utara Menggunakan Metode Social Return on Investment (SROI)

Abstract

SROI is a method that can be used to measure the value that has been created (impact) from three aspects, namely social, environmental, and economic. This impact can be enjoyed by stakeholders because of an activity carried out by an organization that has invested a number of its resources in this activity Together with the theory of change, the SROI methodology, therefore, makes it possible to build a story of the social change generated through a participatory, qualitative and quantitative process. This research was conducted in the public sector, namely the Office of Cooperatives and UKM of North Sumatra Province which has implemented a micro, small and medium enterprise empowerment program. Ten SMEs out of 108 SMEs that received the assistance program were further investigated using in-depth interviews to find out what had changed after receiving assistance for business facilities in the empowerment program. The results of the study obtained a different SROI ratio for each UKM. The highest SROI ratio is 10.82: 1, which means that every one rupiah that has been invested has an impact of 10.82 rupiah. The lowest ratio is 0.36: 1, which means that every rupiah invested only produces an impact of Rp. 0.36. Of the ten SMEs, only five SMEs have an SROI ratio above one rupiah, while the other five SMEs have a lower SROI ratio than their investment value.
