The research was performed in July to August 2019 in Arjowilangun Village, Kalipare District, Malang Regency. The first-two stages of action research in this study, namely Diagnosis and Action Planning, were carried out to underpin the next stage of research activities. Twenty goat informants and sheep farmers were chosen by using purposive sampling technique and data were collected by FGD (Focus Group Discussion), interview and observation. In the diagnosis stage, main problems of the community lied in the goat and sheep production and waste management, particularly feed problem in the dry season. In the action planning stage, farmers were motivated to find their feed problem solutions based on village-s potential resources (forage, corn and sugar cane waste). It is necessary to do goat and sheep waste processing training (e.g. Bokashi) to solve other farmers- problems. It can be concluded that the empowerment program achieves most of its objectives. The community can point out their problems and potential, also manage their problems in the correct method
