This study is predicated upon the pivotal role of the Local Government, particularly the Nagari administration, in buttressing the existence of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as linchpins of grassroots economic frameworks. Nagari Pasia Laweh in Agam Regency harbors considerable MSME potential yet contends with endemic impediments such as capital scarcity, archaic marketing modalities, and tenuous product branding. This inquiry seeks to scrutinize the Nagari Government’s engagement in MSME advancement through three salient functions: facilitator, regulator, and stabilizer. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology encompassing field observation, archival documentation, and in-depth interviews with local officials and enterprise operators, the findings reveal that initiatives such as the “Bedah Warung” program for infrastructural enhancement, the formation of the Productive Community Empowerment Agency (LPMP) for human capital elevation, and facilitation of financial access via banking collaborations and social security schemes (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) have been undertaken. Nevertheless, implementation remains uneven; training and capital assistance are sporadic and often lack post-training mentorship, while regulatory and stabilizing functions face challenges in policy oversight consistency and equitable dissemination of information. The study posits that more robust synergistic efforts and precise MSME need mapping are requisite to render governmental interventions impactful in elevating MSME tiers and bolstering community economic welfare in Nagari Pasia Laweh.
