Abstrak. Salah satu agenda besar dalam strategi pembangunan wilayah perdesaan adalah mengimplementasikan program dana desa. Namun, masih ditemukan kendala yang menghambat keberhasilan program dana desa yang sebabkan oleh lemahnya kapasitas kelembagaan desa. Sehingga, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor penghambat ditinjau berdasarkan perspektif kelembagaan yang menghambat proses pengelolaan dana desa dalam pembangunan wilayah perdesaan. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian studi kasus yang menggunakan metode analisis isi dan analisis tematik dengan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menggali proses pengelolaan dana desa dalam menunjang pembangunan wilayah perdesaan yang dilakukan di Kabupaten Bogor. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, belum optimalnya alokasi pemanfaatan dana desa dalam perencanaan pembangunan dipengaruhi oleh unsur kognitif-kultural masyarakat. Secara normatif, kepala desa memiliki keprofesionalitasan yang rendah. Lemahnya pengawasan kepada kepala desa menyebabkan rendahnya profesionalisme kepala desa dalam melaksanakan pertanggungjawaban kepada masyarakat. Hal ini menyebabkan rendahnya rasa memiliki masyarakat terhadap program dana desa, sehingga pelaksanaan pembangunan desa melalui program dana desa dinilai belum sampai pada tahap menjadikan masyarakat desa sebagai subyek pembangunan.
