2. Literature Review
2.1. Institutionalization of MSME
MSME institutions encourage innovation, culture, and locally-based resource empowerment and utilization activities. MSME products are largely linked to local resources and culture, as well as knowledge, hand skills and work patterns that have been passed down through generations
[4] | Suyatno and D. A. Suryani, 2023 “Pengembangan Sumberdaya Manusia UMKM Berbasis Potensi Lokal Di Yogyakarta,” Nusantara Hasana J., vol. 3, no. 2, pp. 269–279, 2023. |

. Institutions has an integrated mechanism between formal and informal relationships at each micro (individual), meso (group or organization), and macro level in the form of a policy environment.
According to Nee, Institutions are "A system of interconnected informal and formal elements-such as customs, shared beliefs, conventions, norms, and rules-regulating social relations in which individuals pursue and establish the boundaries of legitimate interests”
[24] | Syahyuti, 2012, Pengorganisasian Diri Petani Dalam Menjalankan Agrobisnis Di Pedesaan: Studi lembaga dan Organisasi Petani Dalam Pengaruh Negara dan Pasar, Program Pasca sarjana Sosiologi Universitas Indonesia. |
[24]
. Nugroho defines institutions as rules, norms, prohibitions, contracts, policies and regulations that govern and control the behaviour of individuals, groups, communities and organizations. While Uphoff states that "Institutions are systems of norms and behaviors that persist over time by fulfilling collectively valued social goals"

2.2. Institutional Capacity
Institutional capacity is the ability of an institution to use available resources optimally in achieving the vision, mission, goals, objectives, outputs, outcomes, and impacts as determined in the business.

[25]
The level of institutional capacity in an organization is related to a set of institutional arrangements and procedures to improve interaction, coordination, and synergy between individuals and units involved in an integrated design. Core of this dimension is clearly defined and complementary roles and functions, and a dedicated management and coordination framework
[22] | Ekaterina Domorenok, (2021), Introduction: policy integration and institutional capacity: theoretical, conceptual and empirical challenges, The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
[22]
.
Institutional capacity can be classified into 3 levels, namely Micro, Mezo and Macro levels

1) The micro level considers all the quantitative and qualitative variables that determine the performance of staff in the organization such as skills and talents, level of motivation, level of training, presence of incentives, required staffing levels, etc. At this level, it is the administrative capacity that is more present.
2) The meso level centers on the organization and therefore, its management capacity. This will relate directly to the existence of a clear and appropriate mission, provision of necessary material resources, development of appropriate management techniques to achieve goals, leadership, organizational culture, communication and coordination systems, managerial structure, etc. At this level both dimensions are present, but administrative capacity is more relevant.
3) At the macro level, political capacity is primary, but administrative capacity is also present, although less relevant, as human and organizational resources are embedded in a broader institutional context.

[24]
Strengthening the capacity of local economic institutions through community empowerment is one model of increasing community participation in activities designed to emphasize the learning process and empower the community through local economic institutions to sustain the community's own economy.

[8]
Rubin & Rubin suggest that capacity building is how to create the ability to find the shortcomings that exist in themselves and there are efforts to improve these shortcomings.
