Data obtained through the publication of directories on line LAZNAS. Characteristics of the empowerment program assessed in six dimensions: type of aid, the target group, target area, target age, gender and agriculture-based . The data were analyzed descriptively with tabulation, percentages and charts. The results showed that the type of the empowerment program conducted by LAZNAS in Indonesia consists of: financial aid, assistance tools, training and mentoring, as well as other type such as reinforcement, the legality of operations and strengthening the network of business.
