ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the economy of border area communities in the West Kalimantan Border Area, Kapuas Hulu Regency, Indonesia. This article aims to analyze the Potential and Challenges in Community Empowerment in the Badau Region, especially using analytical descriptive research with a qualitative approach, where the author tries to provide an overview or describe the condition of the objects and existing problems. The governance issue in the State Cross Border Post Badau is analyzed. Situations that have never happened before have disrupted governance at the cross-border post, including the closure of the Indonesian and Malaysian cross-country routes. This is the first time the State of Malaysia has implemented a lockdown since the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study show that the potential and challenges in community empowerment in Badau District are discussed.
