Measuring the impact is usually only around on measuring changes in income, while changes in real living standards are not only influenced by changes in revenue, since many other factors related and direct impact on living standards.

This changing on standard of living usually will not have a high sustainability, so that when the program ends, the beneficiary will again become poor. This happens because there is at least an evaluation method to measure the success of the program. It is necessary to study how the description improvement mindset assisted farmer group members after involved to a community empowerment program by CECOM Foundation, How did the description of livelihood improvement of farmer group’s member after joining CECOM Community Empowerment Program as well as how to formulate participatory community development programs by CECOM Foundation.
