One critical issue that regional head candidates must address after the 2024 elections is Child Marriage (PUA). PUA greatly limits youth participation in politics, democracy, and regional development. The high PUA rate is driven by poverty, low education, cultural norms, and lack of access to reproductive health information. PUA restricts youth access to education and health then blocking their opportunities to engage actively in social, economic, and political activity. Early-married youth often face household responsibilities prematurely, limiting their involvement in activities that support democracy and regional progress. As policymakers, regional heads must understand PUA’s impact on youth participation and take concrete steps to reduce it. An effective approach is to involve young people in policymaking, particularly regarding PUA prevention. By including them in musrenbang, the government can become more responsive to youth needs, supporting their involvement in productive and political activities. For example, in Barru Regency, 78 early marriage applications were submitted to the Religious Court in 2022, but after extensive youth empowerment through children's forums, cases decreased to 23 in 2023. Youth active in social organizations also play an important role in raising awareness about PUA risks. They can be agents of change, promoting the importance of delaying marriage age. Aligning with the 2024 election theme of youth participation in politics and democracy, their involvement in policy processes helps build a qualified, independent generation ready to contribute to regional development and democracy. +
The issue of healthcare facilities among Indonesians has become a significant challenge, especially in remote areas. Limited access to proper healthcare not only affects the health of individuals, but also has far-reaching social and economic impacts. Therefore, it is important to prioritize comprehensive solutions that involve the government, health organizations, and communities in their efforts to improve health facilities in these areas. The issue of health facilities in remote areas is one of the main challenges that regional head candidates must face. In the context of equitable distribution of health services, remote areas are often marginalized, for example in my area in the western part of Tana Toraja, which is often referred to as a neglected area, resulting in limited access to health services. Prioritizing the improvement of health facilities in remote areas is essential so that people can receive proper and equal services. One of the main reasons why this issue needs attention is the high mortality rate from diseases that could have been prevented or treated. Many people in remote areas have to travel long distances to get treatment, often also facing poor infrastructure constraints such as landslides that are not addressed immediately, there have been many examples of cases in my area that are very concerning but ignored by the local government, one of which is a mother who was due to give birth had to be carried to the regional center due to the lack of health facilities in our area, through unfit roads the community and the regional medical team tried to save the baby of the pregnant woman but unfortunately the baby did not survive, the pregnant woman gave birth on the side of the road in the shade of a tree, on a steep and gravel road terrain. This creates a significant gap between people in urban and rural areas in terms of access to healthcare. Regional head candidates must understand that health facility development is not just about physical development, but also includes improving the quality of services and human resources.
Training local medical personnel is essential to ensure that the community not only gets access, but also gets quality services.
As such, regional head candidates should commit to supporting training and professional development programs for medical personnel in remote areas. Regional head candidates need to encourage the use of technology and internet access in health services. For example, in my area, during the campaign period, the construction of a tower was promised, but until now the community has not been able to access the promised thing. Telemedicine can also be an effective solution to reach people who are far from health facilities. By utilizing technology, patients can consult with doctors without having to travel far. This can reduce the burden on the community and improve the quality of health services. With all the challenges, regional head candidates have a moral and social responsibility to ensure that every citizen, including those living in remote areas, get their right to health. Prioritizing the development of health facilities will not only improve the quality of life of the community, but also contribute to the overall development of the region. In this endeavor, a strong commitment and clear vision from regional head candidates are necessary to realize an inclusive and sustainable health system.
Corruption in regional government is very detrimental to society and hinders development. When public funds are misused, public services will be disrupted and public trust in the government will decrease. Strict law enforcement, transparency and accountability are important steps to overcome this problem. Apart from that, public participation in supervision can also help prevent corrupt practices. +

The role of regional leadership is crucial for the development and progress of a region. Regional leaders, whether at the district, city, or provincial level, are responsible for leading their areas towards sustainable social, economic, and environmental well-being. In this process, formulating policies and strategic plans is a critical first step. However, these plans must be implemented into tangible and beneficial actions for the community.
The first priority in effective regional leadership is creating a transparent and accountable government. This is the foundation for the success of implementing the planned programs. The public needs to be able to monitor the performance of the regional government, especially in managing budgets and executing public projects. Regional leaders need to ensure transparency in the dissemination of information about policies and budget allocations to the public. This transparency will increase public trust and reduce the risk of corruption, collusion, and nepotism, which are often obstacles to implementing development plans.
In addition, accountability in regional governance means having effective oversight mechanisms to ensure that every allocated budget is used for the intended purposes and goals. An accessible public complaint system needs to be strengthened so that the regional government can respond to citizens' grievances and input quickly and appropriately.
Infrastructure is a key factor in economic growth and improving the quality of life. Therefore, one of the top priorities is equitable and inclusive infrastructure development. Many regions in Indonesia, particularly remote areas, still face challenges in accessing basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, clean water, and the internet. Regional leaders must ensure that infrastructure development is evenly distributed throughout the region, not just concentrated in urban centers. Inclusive infrastructure development will create new economic opportunities, improve access to education and healthcare, and reduce regional disparities. For example, good roads will make it easier for farmers to distribute their produce to markets, while adequate internet networks will open up access to information and business opportunities for rural communities. Regional leaders need to collaborate with the central government, the private sector, and the community to implement infrastructure development that is accessible to all.
Education is key to long-term regional progress. One of the priorities for regional leaders is often improving the quality of education. The biggest challenge is ensuring that these plans are well-executed on the ground. Regional governments need to allocate adequate budgets for school construction, improving teacher quality, and providing sufficient educational facilities. Additionally, it is important for regional leaders not only to focus on formal education but also on job training programs that enhance the skills of the population in line with local labor market needs. Vocational training, skills courses, and workforce capacity building for the younger generation can help reduce unemployment and increase the competitiveness of the regional workforce. These programs must be designed to be flexible with technological developments and economic trends to have a direct positive impact on society.
The next priority is ensuring adequate access to healthcare services for the population. Regional leaders must commit to improving the quality of healthcare facilities, such as community health centers, clinics, and hospitals, especially in areas far from urban centers. Access to quality healthcare is crucial to maintaining public health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The realization of plans in the healthcare sector can be achieved by strengthening healthcare human resources, such as doctors and nurses, and ensuring that healthcare facilities are equipped with adequate tools and medicines. Moreover, preventive healthcare programs, such as health campaigns and immunizations, must be prioritized to prevent preventable diseases in the population.
As part of the responsibility of regional leaders, the management of natural resources (SDA) and the environment is an important aspect that cannot be overlooked. Many regions in Indonesia are rich in natural resources such as mining, forests, and fisheries. However, unsustainable management often leads to environmental degradation and social conflict. Therefore, regional leaders must prioritize sustainable natural resource management as part of regional development policy.
Effective environmental policies must be formulated to ensure that the exploitation of natural resources is conducted with consideration for long-term environmental sustainability. For instance, mining or plantation permits must be granted selectively with careful consideration of long-term environmental impacts. Additionally, regional leaders need to take the initiative in environmental rehabilitation programs and support green movements that involve local communities, such as reforestation, waste management, and water source conservation.
Regional leaders play a crucial role in advancing the local economy, particularly by developing Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). MSMEs are the backbone of the regional economy because they provide jobs for local residents and contribute significantly to regional GDP. In the development plan, regional leaders must ensure that there are policies that support MSME growth, such as access to capital, business training, and opening new markets.
Moreover, promoting local products, especially those with export potential, should be part of the regional leader's economic program. Local economic empowerment can be enhanced through collaboration between MSMEs and large industries to create mutually beneficial synergies. The development of cooperatives and community business groups can strengthen the local economy collectively.
Conclusion
Regional leaders are responsible for ensuring that every program has a direct impact on improving the well-being of the community. Through government transparency, inclusive infrastructure development, improving the quality of education and healthcare, as well as empowering the local economy, regional leaders can create real change in their regions. The success of regional leadership is not only measured by how well plans are made, but also by how effectively those plans are realized to meet the needs of the community.
Education shapes human quality so that it can be said that education is a supporting factor in increasing economic development because education can create an innovative mindset. The aim of national development in the field of education is to make the nation's life more intelligent and improve the quality of human resources. One effort to implement this goal is for the government to issue educational policies that are in line with scientific developments. If you look at the current education phenomenon, it is very complex in terms of the problems that occur starting from several remote areas or perhaps even coastal areas that have not been touched by development. Starting from the problem of inadequate teaching staff, curriculum and facilities. Apart from that, there are many cases of bullying and sexual harassment which give the image that the school environment is currently a scary place for the people in it. Even though it is important, its implementation and implementation can be said to be far from being realized so that it has a broad and sustainable impact in various aspects. Therefore, investment in improving the quality of education must be a top priority for the government, especially regional head candidates, to ensure that every individual has the same opportunity to develop and develop. contribute to the progress of society.
Unequal access is one of the biggest challenges in several areas, especially in South Sulawesi. Even in one of the areas directly bordering Makassar City, which is not considered far from this big city, there are still schools that have not been touched by development, both in terms of teaching staff and facilities. Many children in remote areas have to travel long distances just to reach school. Even in big cities, educational problems are not spared, for example, the number of school dropouts has reached very high numbers in several big cities, causing an increasing number of children at an early age to become street children or even involved in criminal cases. This is an illustration that education is still very far from the actual concept, therefore as a regional head candidate you must ensure that every child regardless of their socio-economic background has equal access to education.
Education, as a fundamental right, should not just be an echo during political events. But this is the government's main responsibility in fulfilling the right to education as regulated by the state, even in religion, it is mandatory for humans to seek knowledge. Education must be a light for all children in this country, not a frightening burden. Everyone has the right to study in a good environment, not quitting school because they don't have money, not quitting school because they are bullied, not quitting school because they are victims of sexual harassment, not quitting school because they don't understand mathematics and not quitting school because they feel education is not important.
*English:* In my opinion, what needs to be prioritized when serving as regional head is developing the policies of the previous regional head which might be able to help in developing regional welfare. Covers concerns about regional security, development of regional UMKM, handling mass populations, and policies related to the welfare of regional people.

Digital economic development should be a key priority, starting with providing widespread internet infrastructure, including in remote areas. Stable internet access will open up new economic opportunities for the community.
Additionally, local governments need to offer digital skills training to the younger generation, such as online marketing and e-commerce. This will help them compete in the modern job market or start their own digital businesses.
The government should also support technological innovation by creating a friendly ecosystem for startups and small businesses. Regulatory support and access to funding will strengthen the region’s digital economic potential. +
In Makassar, the role of regional leaders in managing waste is very important because this city is one of the centers of urbanization and economic growth in South Sulawesi. Rapid population growth has led to an increase in the volume of waste, which if not managed properly, can threaten public health and damage the environment. In this context, the role of regional leaders is very important in managing waste problems that have an impact on public health. Waste that is not managed properly can cause various health problems, such as the spread of infectious diseases, water pollution, and decreased air quality. Therefore, regional leaders must play an active role in formulating and implementing effective waste management policies. With visionary and responsive leadership, regional leaders can reduce the negative impacts of waste on public health, create a clean and healthy environment, and encourage long-term environmental sustainability. By carrying out these roles effectively, regional leaders in Makassar can not only address the problem of waste that has an impact on public health, but also create a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable city. Public health will improve along with the reduced risk of diseases caused by a polluted environment, and the city's image as a tourist destination and economic center in Eastern Indonesia will also be more positive. +
SARA diversity is something that cannot be separated from Indonesia's history and timeline throughout its journey. The existence of Indonesia is formed from many SARA combined in a uniting unity. One of them is the South Sulawesi area which is part of Indonesia itself. South Sulawesi is one of the many regions in Indonesia, and this is also a sign of the diversity of society itself. South Sulawesi was built from combined diversity, the many ethnicities, languages and cultures which are the essence of this diversity.
In this regard, the empowerment of diverse human resources certainly needs to be diversified through social equality, meaning that there are gaps towards certain parties based on factors of 'less attention', 'less development', or even 'not at all'. Empowering community diversity in the SARA aspect is one of the main causes of divisions in society that appear explicitly or implicitly. The government's actions that several parties in society want to achieve are about justice and social equality. Therefore, differences in attitudes and use of human resources that tend to be within one group or party need to be resolved by means of competent and complex preparation. With the meaning of it as a form of demand for justice and protest from society in various circles. +

The waste problem in developing countries like Indonesia is a problem that is almost never resolved, this happens because it is not handled properly by all parties, both the government and society. Where the waste is only collected together and then ends up at the final disposal site, however, the rubbish that piles up at the final disposal site has a negative impact on human health, environmental sustainability, as well as wildlife that is trapped or exposed to dangerous materials from the pile of rubbish itself. Apart from that, waste that is not managed properly will damage ecosystems and threaten biodiversity by polluting natural habitats. Plastic waste, for example, accounts for the majority of marine pollution, because this material is difficult to decompose and often ends up in the ocean, ultimately threatening marine life and damaging maritime ecosystems. In 2022, Indonesia's seas will be polluted by 389 thousand tons of plastic waste and in 2017 plastic waste in the ocean will be eaten by animals and will kill 1 million seabirds and 100 thousand marine mammals.
Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world with an area of 1,811,570 square kilometers and according to the Worldometers survey, the population reaches 273,523,615 people, so that if you calculate every 1 square kilometer, there are 151 residents. This is also in line with the waste produced. From weste4change data in 2021, Indonesia produces 175,000 tons of waste every day, however, of this amount of waste, only 7.5% can be recycled and made into compost, while the remaining 10% of waste is landfilled, 5% of waste is burned. and the rest accumulates in landfill. Apart from causing environmental pollution, the mounting piles of rubbish also increase the production of methane gas from the rubbish.
For example, the case of a methane gas explosion in a mountain of rubbish at the Leuwigajah TPA, Cimahi, West Java in 2005 which triggered landslides in the villages of Cilimus and Mojong. The methane gas explosion also resulted in the deaths of 157 people, most of whom were local residents who worked as scavengers. This case example once again shows how serious the waste problem is, which must be immediately addressed and resolved by paying attention to how waste management should be carried out. The waste management process is not only about reduce, reuse and recycle, but there are various much more important aspects that must be paid attention to, such as legal aspects, institutional aspects, funding aspects, socio-cultural aspects and technological aspects, all of which must be worked on simultaneously. .
The problem of waste is a national problem, so its management must be carried out comprehensively. Solving problems regarding waste management requires cooperation from various parties, from the government, product manufacturers or the business world to the general public. Five aspects of waste management that have not been effective in Indonesia must be immediately accelerated so that the incident at the Leuwigajah TPA does not happen again. It is hoped that Indonesia can have good quality waste management, although this will not be realized in a short time, where consistency and mutual awareness are needed that management Waste must be a priority because cleanliness is an investment for the sustainability of life in the future.

INTRODUCTION
Regional leaders serve as the driving force behind the progress of a region. In every regional election, various strategic issues come under the spotlight and need to be addressed. However, among the many challenges, economic issues and gratuities should be the main focus for candidates. These two issues are closely related because the economic development of a region is highly influenced by clean and effective governance. This problem persists regardless of who the leader is, as the region's governance continues to be harmed by irresponsible officials involved in gratuity transactions, as well as ineffective economic growth patterns. By tackling the issue of gratuities, which frequently and even consistently occur within the functional structure of government, candidates can pave the way for more equitable and sustainable economic growth. This is crucial for the future progress of the region, and candidates must have systematic ideas to address these issues.
BODY
Economic problems are one of the biggest challenges faced by many regions in Indonesia. Poverty rates, unemployment, and income distribution inequality are recurring issues, particularly in underdeveloped areas. These regions lag in economic management, and the general population, lacking specialized education in entrepreneurship or basic economic governance, cannot be ignored. Traditional sectors such as agriculture and fisheries often fail to maximize the local economy due to inadequate economic growth oversight and a lack of creativity in utilizing natural resources and coastal areas in certain regions. This issue recurs because there are no breakthroughs to provide solutions and develop the economy.
Amid global challenges such as inflation, the transition to the digital era has brought significant changes to every economic sector. Technology, used as an alternative, has become a mutual solution that continues to be utilized. However, the income of SMEs in many regions continues to decline due to the presence of retail businesses, especially minimarkets, which increasingly erode SME revenues. Job creation and infrastructure development are urgent needs. Additionally, empowering the SME sector is crucial because it is the backbone of the economy in many regions. If properly managed, these policies can promote more equitable economic growth, and candidates need to develop strategies that respond to regional needs. Increasing investment is also essential.
Meanwhile, gratuities are a serious problem that can slow down regional development. The practice of gratuities, which includes the acceptance of gifts or bribes by officials, creates a corrupt environment that undermines good governance. As a result, resources that should be used for development are wasted on personal or group interests. Therefore, candidates must commit fully to combating gratuities. Transparency in budget management, tighter oversight, and collaboration with anti-corruption institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) are important steps that must be taken. A leader free from corruption will be able to build trust among the public and investors, ultimately having a positive impact on the region's economy. Strict enforcement is needed to safeguard regional policies and programs from material interests that could damage the region's image and governance system.
There is a close relationship between the economic success of a region and clean governance free from corruption. Regions that manage transparent governance and remain free from gratuities tend to experience better economic growth. Conversely, regions plagued by corruption will face obstacles in attracting investment and building business confidence. Therefore, candidates must emphasize the importance of clean governance as the foundation for economic development. Additionally, the application of technology in governance can be a solution to reduce opportunities for gratuities. Digitalization in business licensing, budget administration, and public services will improve efficiency and minimize direct interactions, which are often hotspots for bribery.
CONCLUSION
Amid the many challenges, regional leaders should focus on two main issues: the economy and gratuities. These two problems are critical for ensuring sustainable regional development. Candidates who can develop the local economy while curbing gratuities will bring significant changes to society. A commitment to both issues not only reflects the candidate's integrity but also plays a crucial role in the success of their leadership in the future.
Attention to the environment is currently diminishing. This is evident from human priorities, which focus solely on clothing, food, and shelter. Only a few people feel a sense of ownership towards the environment, so efforts to preserve and protect it have not been maximized. A question that may arise is why the environment should be protected. In law, protection is typically given to legal subjects. However, is the environment a legal subject that can bear rights and obligations? Regional autonomy is the answer to this issue. Regional leaders must be able to align regulations with the concept of sustainable development, including government efforts to limit the exercise of rights over the environment to protect environmental rights themselves. Current regional autonomy tends to be excessive, particularly regarding the exploitation of natural resources. Many regions with abundant natural resources exploit them to increase regional income, showing a tendency towards weak sustainability without considering environmentally conscious development principles. Consequently, environmental damage and pollution are accelerating. An example is the reclamation issue at Losari Beach, Makassar, which may have negative impacts by threatening biodiversity and lowering water quality due to sedimentation. The benefits are mostly enjoyed by investors, while fishermen and local communities are disadvantaged. Through regional autonomy, the granting of industrial and tourism permits seems to be economically oriented, highlighting the right to the environment rather than the right of the environment itself. Therefore, local governments must pay attention to environmental rights to ensure that future generations can meet their needs with the same quality, quantity, and options. +
