During the Covid-19 pandemic, policies are needed in order to help economic recovery for society. This service opens public access to the policy of developing Village Seed Gardens (KBD), as an alternative to economic and environmental improvements. By using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method with the main pillars of research, action, and participation. Partners involved in this program are seven villages in Lubuk Dalam District, Siak Regency, Riau. The results achieved were the form of community accessibility to government policies, community involvement in transformative activities to improve the economy and environment, which were obtained through assisting the development of KBD in seven villages that could independently produce thousands of seedlings for the surrounding community. Apart from economic recovery as a short-term benefit, also has long-term benefits for environmental restoration by changing degraded land to be more productive.

From the participatory action research we have conducted in two rural communities in Australia we suggest six factors that assist in achieving sustainability for ICT initiatives undertaken in pursuit of regional development. They include: Clearly specified sustainability goals; Leveraging micro-business enterprise development off government funded technical and human infrastructure provision, and using local industry strengths; Learning from global experiences whilst building on local assets; Finding innovative business models to capitalise on new opportunities for content and applications; Ensuring community involvement in deciding, planning and evaluating projects; and Adopting a learning approach.
