Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a strategic role in the national economy, including in Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan, which is dominated by the culinary sector. However, most MSME owners have not yet obtained halal certification due to limited understanding, lack of access to information, and the perception that the certification process is complicated. This community service program aimed to improve MSME owners’ awareness, knowledge, and technical capacity in obtaining halal certification through the self-declare scheme. The service method employed a participatory and mentoring-based approach, implemented through structured stages consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The preparation stage involved coordination with local stakeholders, identification of MSME needs, and participant registration. The implementation stage consisted of material delivery using lectures and discussions to enhance awareness of the importance of halal certification, followed by hands-on technical assistance in using the official online halal certification system. Participants were also guided through a simple internal audit of production processes to ensure compliance with halal standards. The evaluation stage was conducted using questionnaires and direct observation to measure participants’ satisfaction, understanding, and ability to independently complete the halal certification registration process. A total of 37 culinary MSME participants successfully completed the halal certification registration through the self-declare scheme. Evaluation results indicated that the program was highly beneficial, with an average participant satisfaction rate exceeding 80%. Furthermore, the program increased MSME owners’ awareness of halal certification as a guarantee of product quality and a strategic tool for enhancing business competitiveness. Overall, this community service program successfully strengthened MSME capacity in utilizing digital-based halal certification systems and supported the development of a more competitive halal MSME ecosystem in Kapuas Regency.
