The results of the study indicate that the Village in the management of Village Funds starting from planning, implementation, administration, reporting and accountability with the principle of good village governance has been running. However, the participatory principle is still limited to the planning and implementation stages but not at the administration, reporting and accountability stages. The principle of transparency is still limited to village information boards and billboards. The principle of accountability has not been running well because it is still often late in submitting reports. This is due to several limitations, namely the low capacity of the apparatus both in management and mastery of IT and facilities and infrastructure that are also still minimal. Therefore, the village government needs to payattention to increasing the capacity of village officials with various skills and knowledge training in addition to the procurement of the required facilities and infrastructure, especially the use of village information media so that the principles of transparency and accountability become better.
