The level of financial literacy among Indonesians, particularly in Batubara Regency, remains relatively low. This results in ineffective personal financial management and a high risk of household financial problems. With the advancement of digital technology, various financial applications, such as Money Manager, have emerged as tools that can be used to improve people's understanding and skills in financial management. This study aims to describe the process of promoting the use of the Money Manager application and assess its impact on improving financial literacy among the Batubara community. A descriptive qualitative approach was used through direct outreach activities, observations, and interviews with participants. The results indicate that the majority of participants experienced an increased understanding of financial recording, expense categorization, and monthly budget planning after participating in the outreach activities. The Money Manager application was deemed easy to access and use, especially among the younger generation. Therefore, the use of digital financial applications can be an effective educational strategy to encourage sustainable improvements in public financial literacy.

Corruption is a crucial problem that hinders national development and undermines the very foundations of national and state life. In preventing it, education is a strategic instrument for shaping the character and integrity of the younger generation. The dissemination of anti-corruption education policies aims to introduce and instill anti-corruption values from an early age through both formal and non-formal education systems. This study aims to analyze the process, challenges, and effectiveness of the dissemination of anti-corruption education policies in schools and the community. The method used is a qualitative descriptive study, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation at several educational institutions. The results indicate that although dissemination has been carried out through various programs such as teacher training, integration of anti-corruption materials into the curriculum, and public campaigns, implementation in the field still faces obstacles, such as a lack of understanding among educators and low active student participation. Therefore, a stronger commitment is needed from all parties, including the government, educational institutions, and the community, to create a sustainable anti-corruption culture.
