Poverty and socio-economic disparities in the border areas in West Kalimantan are the most conspicuous issues. But on the other hand, the border area has very rich natural resources but has not been utilized/exploited optimally. This study aims to describe the potential of the Indonesia-Malaysia land border area in Sajingan Besar District and Paloh District (PALSA) in Sambas Regency then a synergy model of economic empowerment program for border area communities will be developed. The approach used in this research is a qualitative approach and this type of research is a case study.
