Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui strategi pemberdayaan dan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh pengolah belut skala mikro dan kecil di Kecamatan Godean dalam lima tahun terakhir (2014-2018). Lokasi penelitian dipilih berdasarkan metode purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data lapangan dilakukan pada Januari-Maret 2019. Pemilihan responden menggunakan metode snowball sampling. Responden adalah Dinas Pertanian, Pangan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Sleman, Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan Kabupaten Sleman, PT. Gama Semesta Konsultindo dan 11 pengolah belut di Kecamatan Godean. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner. Data sekunder dikumpulkan dengan metode studi dokumen. Analisis data dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi pemberdayaan yang dilakukan oleh Dinas Pertanian, Pangan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Sleman adalah peningkatan kapasitas produksi dengan penguatan modal. Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan Kabupaten Sleman melakukan community development dan PT. Gama Semesta Konsultindo memperkuat modal sosial melalui community development. Menurut pengolah belut, strategi pemberdayaan yang dilakukan oleh ketiga lembaga tersebut belum tepat, karena menggunakan pendekatan atas-bawah (top-down). Pengolah belut merasa tidak diberi kesempatan dalam pengambil keputusan.

Gama Konsultindo Semesta. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that the empowerment strategy carried out by the Department of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries of Sleman Regency successfully increased the production capacity by strengthening capital. The Department of Industry and Trade of Sleman Regency mostly contributed in community development and PT. Gama Semesta Konsultindo strengthened social capital through community development. According to swamp-eels processors, the strategy has not fulfilled their needs due to the application of top-down approach where swamp-eels processors does not have the opportunity for decision making.sampling
