The BUMDes of Katon Margo Sembada is one of the BUMDes affected during the covid-19 pandemic. This impact can be seen from the decrease in income by 30%. This happens because so far BUMDES Katon Margo Sembada, still uses conventional methods in marketing. There is no website or social media related to the BUMDES business unit of Katon Margo Sembada, making this BUMDES undeveloped and unknown to many people. In addition, BUMDES Katon Margo Sembada also lacks human resources who can manage BUMDES well through the marketplace and digital marketing. Furthermore, this community service aims to aid BUMDES Katon Margo Sembada based on technology, information, and communication so that the managed business units can be known by the wider community.

Authentication is the primary and mandatory process for any Information and Communication Technology (ICT) application to prove the legitimacy of the genuine user. It becomes more important and crucial for public platforms like e-governance platforms. The Government of India is transforming the country into Digital India through various e-governance initiatives based on ICT. For authentication, National e-Authentication Framework (NeAF) was proposed by the Indian government which is a policy framework for authentication. This framework does not provide any technical and unified solution for authentication systems while it is based on centralized verification data. In this paper, we proposed a solution for the authentication which provides the unified authentication solution for the Indian e-governance system with existing infrastructure. This solution also provides the features such as scalability, security, and transparency based on distributed computing and working on multiserver architecture. This solution also fulfills the need of the current Indian government to provide multiple e-governance services through a single smart card.

The concern about the circulation of Narcotics among students must be anticipated immediately considering that students are the next generation of the Nation. Juridical empirical approach method. The implementation of the prevention of narcotics crime among students in its development has not been able to run effectively this is because the circulation of narcotics among students with target consumers of fellow students uses social media networking facilities via the internet which is the result of advances in information and communication technology as well as overcoming the circulation of narcotics crime is divided into : primary, before abuse occurs, or known as a preventive function. Usually in the form of education, dissemination of information about the dangers of drugs, approaches through the family, etc. In carrying out this function, the efforts that must be made by the government include regular outreach, establishment of supervisory institutions, forming laws and regulations in various forms, and even establishing international cooperation both bilaterally, regionally and multilaterally.

Pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) bagi petani dalam mengakses kredit masih rendah. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh rendahnya aksesibilitas petani terhadap program-program kredit. Informasi-informasi yang berkenaan program pembiayaan/kredit dari pemerintah belum diperoleh petani secara merata. Bahkan, seringkali informasi tersebut tidak diperoleh sama sekali. Di samping itu, petani masih beranggapan bahwa program-program kredit yang ditawarkan oleh lembaga formal memiliki prosedur yang panjang, sulit dan berbelit-belit. Oleh karena itu, seringkali petani pada akhirnya memilih untuk memperoleh modal dari kredit yang ditawarkan oleh lembaga nonformal, meskipun dengan bunga yang tinggi. Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dapat menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan akses petani terhadap program pembiayaan/kredit dari pemerintah. Hal ini juga perlu diupayakan oleh pemerintah sebagai peningkatan pelayanan publik bagi petani (e-Government). Dengan memanfaatkan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK), diharapkan dapat membuka akses petani terhadap berbagai informasi terkait program kredit dari pemerintah serta dapat pula membantu petani untuk memperpendek prosedur yang harus dilalui dalam memperoleh kredit. Selama ini pemanfaatan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) pada sektor pertanian, sebagian besar masih terfokus pada informasi seputar teknologi budidaya dan pemasaran hasil pertanian. Sehingga diperlukan perhatian khusus dari pemerintah untuk memberikan layanan dan informasi terkait kredit bagi petani.   Utilization of Information and communication Technology (ICT) for farmers in accessing credit is still low. This is addressed by the low accessibility of farmers to funding / credit programs from the government that has not been obtained evenly. In fact, often the information is not obtained at all. Besides that, farmers still think that credit programs offered by formal institutions have a long, difficult, and complicated procedure. Therefore, often farmers ultimately choose to obtain capital and credit offered by non-formal institutions, even with high interest rates. Information and communication technology (ICT) can be a solution to improve farmers' access to government financing or credit programs. It also needs to be pursued by the government as an increase in public services for farmers (e-government). By utilizing information and communication technology (ICT), farmers are expected to be able to open access to various information related to credit programs from the government and can also help farmers to shorten the procedures that must be passed in obtaining credit. During this time the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the agricultural sector is still largely focused on information about cultivation technology and marketing of agricultural products so that special attention is needed from the Government to provide services and information related to credit for farmers.

This paper studies the effect of digitalization on the perception of corruption and trust in tax officials in Africa. Using individual-level data from Afrobarometer surveys and several indices of digitalization, we find that an increase in digital adoption is associated with a reduction in the perception of corruption and an increase in trust in tax officials. Exploiting the exogeneous deployment of submarine cables at the local level, the paper provides evidence of a negative impact of the use of Internet on the perception of corruption. Yet, the paper shows that the dampening effect of digitalization on corruption is hindered in countries where the government has a pattern of intentionally shutting down the Internet, while countries that successfully promote information and communication technology (ICT) enjoy a more amplified effect.

An “electronic hive mind” (EHM) is conceptualized as a type of temporally limited social consciousness (held by people, cyborgs, and robots) around shared interests, enabled by social media and information and communication technology (ICT). EHMs may be understood partially through combined prior research in the areas of social psychology and social media. Other research work is novel and requires the application of a range of methods and technologies to identify EHMs from publicly available social media residual data in various digital modalities. To this end, some initial mapping techniques to understand EHMs will be shown in this chapter.
