The research method uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, research data is collected through interviews, observations and documentation. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions, with strategy analysis using SWOT and Litmus Test. The results of the study indicate that the development of BUMDesa capacity in the resource dimension is still not running optimally as evidenced by limited human resources and minimal managerial expertise of BUMDesa managers, minimal supporting infrastructure and low utilization of technology. In the management dimension, it is relatively good, there is clear program planning, structure and division of work but there is still overlap in work, and low cooperation between BUMDesa and other parties. Strategies that can be implemented in developing BUMDesa capacity include increasing the capacity of BUMDesa managers through coaching and training programs organized by the government, establishing cooperation and partnerships with the private sector, educational institutions, financial institutions, and the community regarding capital, improving equipment infrastructure, and mentoring business activities, optimizing ADD/DD and business income in reducing dependence on external assistance, increasing the expertise of BUMDesa managers in terms of business management, financial management and digital marketing in order to face business competition, developing a transparent management system and continuous evaluation to build public trust.
