        "summary": "The Indonesian government has set a target for all regional heads to fully address waste management problems by 2029, as mandated directly by President Prabowo Subianto to Environment Minister Hanif Faisol Nurofiq. The minister emphasised the need for comprehensive solutions from source separation at households to downstream processing, prioritising environmental sustainability over mere awards like Adipura. During a community clean-up event in Malang, Hanif urged regular collective actions to foster public awareness and participated in waste collection alongside local leaders.",
        "content": "<p>The government is targeting the resolution of waste issues in regions\nto be completed by no later than 2029. Environment Minister Hanif Faisol\nNurofiq emphasised that this target is a direct mandate from President\nPrabowo Subianto to all regional heads. Hanif stated that resolving\nwaste cannot be delayed and must be carried out comprehensively from\nupstream to downstream. \u201cTo the regents and mayors, the President has\nordered the resolution of the waste problem by no later than 2029 using\nall methods,\u201d said Hanif on Sunday (30\/3\/2026). Hanif stressed that the\nkey to waste management lies at the household level through sorting at\nthe source. This step is considered capable of reducing the burden on\ndownstream processing while increasing cost efficiency in management. He\nreminded that waste resolution should not only be oriented towards\nawards such as Adipura. Management must focus on the obligation to\npreserve the environment and sustainability for future generations.\n\u201cWaste is our obligation to provide a good environment to the\ncommunity,\u201d said Hanif. During the community work activity on Jalan\nBesar Ijen, Hanif also asked regional governments to routinely mobilise\nclean-up actions as a collective community movement. Such efforts are\ndeemed important to strengthen public awareness in maintaining\nenvironmental cleanliness. Hanif directly participated in picking up\nwaste together with Malang Mayor Wahyu Hidayat and Malang Regent M\nSanusi. The activity took place in the car-free day area and continued\nwith cycling around the city as part of the environmental campaign.<\/p>",
