"Strengthen your statement with data" is a slogan that is often heard in the community. Especially in this digitalization era, with many data, both those who have been structured or not. The opportunity to be able to see that really occurs based on broad open data. Of course this opportunity will be wide open for those who have the basic ability to process data statistically and interpret the results according to the context of the problem. But this ability has not been owned by many people, including government employees at the sub-district and village levels. In general, sub-district and kelurahan officials have been very preoccupied with the routine of servants of the community every day, so the possibility of exploring the data possessed becomes almost non-existent. In fact as a source of information closest to the community, the kelurahan and sub-districts have a big contribution in photographing the actual phenomenon that occurred around the community. This can be an important evaluation material, which contributes to the government at the more level in setting appropriate policies. The importance of delivering information in a way that is easy to understand and based on data, is the main reason the need for the villaging of basic statistics in government employees at the sub-district level or the kelurahan. On the other hand, ITB students who have obtained data processing theory with simple applications, requires a container to apply its knowledge to more real problems. This community service activity was carried out in the COGLONG sub-district, where Ganesha ITB campus was located. The implementation of activities consists of discussions with the sub-district in order to capture data problems faced in daily life in the sub-district environment, design training modules that are tailored to the needs of fundamental data processing, and the implementation of the training / workshop processing the data. Through this activity, COGLONG and Kelurahan District employees in the region get insight into the importance of good data storage and processing data to get an overview of the problems that occur, so that it can help in determining further policies.
