Researchers examine the needs assessment process as the most important component in mapping problems in the community, determining priority needs so as to produce programs that are relevant to community needs. One of the implementations of community empowerment programs in addressing current population problems is the KB village program implemented by the National Population and Family Planning Board (Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional, BKKBN). However, problems with the realization of the KB village program were found due to the lack of synchronization between community needs and program implementation, resulting in some programs not being fully felt by the community. In addition, the competence of KB village cadres in implementing the Needs Assessment needs to be improved so that they are able to carry out more effective and efficient performance through training programs by applying a training model with a problem-based learning (PBL) approach. This study used a qualitative approach, with data collection procedures, observation guidelines, interview guidelines and documentation studies. The results showed that the formation and development of training participants' knowledge occurred through social interaction. Learning for training participants in the PBL model is an effort to achieve knowledge to prioritize the learning needs of the KB village community in Citeureup Village, Bandung Regency.
