Capacity building is crucial for human resources management in the public sector as it not only enhances individual skills but also strengthens organizational structures and improves overall effectiveness. In Jeneponto, challenges in traditional and cultural empowerment significantly hinder local development, as indicated in the DPMD's 2021 Performance Report. A qualitative approach was employed to deeply understand the human resource capacity-building phenomenon at the Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dan Desa (DPMD) of Jeneponto Regency. Data were collected through primary surveys and secondary sources, including structured and unstructured interviews with key informants such as heads of departments and local community leaders. This study found that Training and continuous professional development are essential for enhancing the individual and collective capabilities of the workforce, thereby improving institutional effectiveness and responsiveness to change. Despite high qualifications among employees, there is a notable gap in training accessibility due to budget constraints, predominantly affecting operational staff compared to top executives. Structural leadership within DPMD also shows a concentration of decision-making power among a few, with a need for broader leadership development at all levels to enhance initiative implementation and organizational agility. The study highlights the need for equitable budget allocation, relevant and inclusive training programs, and resource management improvements to foster effective capacity building. It emphasizes a holistic approach that addresses training, leadership, and infrastructure to support organizational goals and enhance public service quality.
