The priority of development is to increase the competitiveness of human resources that encourage employment. The increase in human resource competitiveness for employment is very important, considering that East Kalimantan Province has been designated as IKN.

Then, increase the level of public health by optimizing hospital services and other health facilities. "Through these development priorities, health services to the community are very important, especially preventing the spread of stunting cases in East Kalimantan," he said.

In addition, strengthening efforts to transform the economy through vertical and horizontal diversification in the leading sector, strengthening infrastructure to support economic development and basic services, improving the quality of life of the poor, especially eradicating extreme poverty.

"These three priorities are needed so that people's economic growth will be better in the Etam Continent," he said.

Furthermore, improving the quality of the environment in a sustainable manner, improving professional and accountable local governance to support the transformation of public services. "We hope that all these priorities can provide a large value of benefits for the community," said Sri Wahyuni.

Sebagai Provinsi yang telah ditetapkan sebagai IKN, lanjutnya, peningkatan kesiapan daerah sebagai mitra IKN dengan mengoptimaliskan kerja sama sangat diperlukan. Dengan demikian, semua pihak, tak terkecuali seluruh OPD, program kerja yang dibangun dapat diarahkan untuk mendukung pengembangan IKN," katanya.
