Background: The Waste Sorting and Gold Savings Program (Memilah Sampah Menabung Emas/MSME) is an innovative waste-based initiative that integrates environmental objectives with financial inclusion and community economic development at the village level. Since the program involves multiple actors with different roles, interests, and levels of influence, its success depends on effective stakeholder collaboration. Methods: This study employed a qualitative case study approach at the Karangturi Berseri Waste Bank in Karangturi Village, Karanganyar Regency, Central Java Province. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies and were analyzed using the Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts: Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations (MACTOR) method. Findings: The results indicate that the waste bank serves as the main implementing actor with high influence and dependence. Pegadaian and the village government occupy strategic positions by providing support and legitimacy. Convergence analysis demonstrates strong alignment among actors regarding community participation and financial inclusion, while divergence analysis reveals potential differences in interests related to program sustainability and waste market mechanisms. Conclusion: The sustainability of the MSME program depends on the ability of key actors to maintain collaboration, manage differences in interests, and balance social, environmental, and economic objectives. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a stakeholder-based analysis of the MSME program using the MACTOR method, offering insights into actor influence, convergence, divergence, and collaboration dynamics in a community-based waste management and financial inclusion initiative.
