Through decentralization policy in 2001, the central government of Indonesia has transferred tasks to plan, execute and evaluate rural development to village government . Nevertheless, to be successful, sufficient local capacity is needed. This study aims to measure capacity of rural institutions , realization of capacity to address livelihood problems and capacity development delivered by the government. It focuses on village officers , neighborhood group , village parliament and village development committee . Through cases study in Serang, Kedarpan and Sumilir villages, it was found that majority of capacity indicators were perceived to be good enough. However, capacity realization was hampered by the problem of weak coordination . Village head, culturally the highest patron in village, was still too dominant and delimitating the other institutions to perform their tasks. Such condition was exacerbated because district government put emphasis on capacity development of village officers at the expense of neighborhood group, village parliament and village development committee. This study recommends that to make more balanced power relation among rural institutions, the government should develop individual capacity of village parliament, village development committee and neighborhood group.
