Management Strategy of the Indonesia Juara Program for Local Economy in the Regions of Bulukumba, Bone, and Makassar

Abstract

This research evaluates the Indonesia Juara Program aimed at community empowerment in villages in South Sulawesi. The program focuses on developing the physical, social, and human capital of villages to enhance well-being and economic sustainability. A qualitative approach was used to gather data from three pilot villages of the Indonesia Juara Program from August to December 2022. The results indicate that the program has significantly enhanced village self-reliance by emphasizing the development of local skills, knowledge, and capacity. Social capital was strengthened through active community participation, improved communication networks, and trust-building. Human capital improvement was achieved through relevant education and training. This program provides a foundation for long-term progress and prosperity in villages, highlighting the role of families in rural development and making a meaningful contribution to community empowerment.
