PREFACE
Indonesia asserts its commitment to implement the 2030 Agenda for SustainableDevelopment, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs). As part of thiscommitment, Indonesia has submitted its first Voluntary National Reviews (VNR) in 201.7.Since then, Indonesia has reassessed its national policies and agendas and once againsubmits its VNR in201.9.
The implementation of SDGs has been the priority ever since the SDGs being adoptedas a global agenda at United Nations General Assembly in New York, September 2015.Indonesia's national development agenda has been aligned with the 17 goals and 94 out of169 measurable targets of SDGs. This is especially true in President Joko Widodo first termof presidency (2015-201.9) whereby "Nawacita" (literally, the nine visionsJ was chosen asthe national development vision. Furthermore, the agenda has also been integrated indevelopment policies, strategies and programs of National Medium-Term DevelopmentPlan [RP]MN), and translated into Government Work Plan (RKP) with its associatedbudget. The integration of SDGs into development plan is also implemented in subnationallevel reflected in the Medium-Term Regional Development Plan IRPJMD) and RegionalWork Plan IRKPD].
The SDGs implementation is conducted by involving all stakeholders: governmentand parliament, philanthropic and business societies, civil society organizations and media,as well as academics and experts to ensure achieving SDGs in line with the principles ofinclusiveness and no one left behind. There are some documents prepared for SDGsimplementation, among others: Presidential Regulation and Minister for NationalDevelopment Planning's Regulation as the legal basis, technical guidelines to developaction plan, metadata of SDGs'indicators, communication strategy, and SDGs disseminationto all stakeholders, all of which at national and sub-national levels.
This review contains highlights of Indonesia's achievements in implementing SDGs.
This VNR specifically focuses on 6 priority goals, namely Goal 4, B, 10, L3, L5, and 1.7.
Furthermore, Indonesia also reports the progress of the rest of the goals. For the past twoyears, lessons learned in the 2017 VNR serve as a reference to improve the effectivenessand efficiency of Indonesia's national and subnational policies. The data used in this reportis mainly from Statistics Indonesia and relevant ministries and agencies.

OPENING STATEMENT
The fulfilment of SDGs has always been a development priority forthe Government of Indonesia. By constitutional mandate, Indonesiais obliged to advance public welfare and to improve the quality of lifefor all Indonesian citizens. The Pancasila ffive pillars) as Indonesia'sideolory also emphasizes the importance of social justice for allcitizens. Consequently, the SDGs have been mainstreamed into thenational development agenda and the Indonesia's Vision 2045.Nevertheless, Indonesia believes that the 2030 agenda forSustainable Development Goals will not be achieved withoutmultilateral cooperation. Issues of quality of education, employment
inequality, climate change, peace and iustice as well as inclusive cooperation are commonglobal challenges that require a multi-stakeholder approach, which includes the exchange ofbest practices.
It is with great honor that I convey theZAL9 Voluntary National Review of the Republicof Indonesia's Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. This is the second timethat Indonesia has published this review since 2OL7.ln the ZALT review, we highlighted theimportance of reducing povertyand improving welfare through 2 (two) main aspects, whichare: [1) Improving the quality of human resources; and (2) Enhancing economic opportunityand sustainable livelihood.
The Government of Indonesia aims to be as thorough as possible in formulating the20L9 VNR Indonesia has demonstrated thatwe have been able to reduce inequality. This ispossible due to high and inclusive economic growth, increased job opportunities, increasededucation access in all levels, as well as reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and reduceddisaster ris[ supported'by multi-stakeholder partnership and good governance.
In addition to 6 (six) highlighted goals as per this year's theme, "Empowering Peopleand Ensuring Inclusiveness and Equality", this report also includes a brief update on theeleven remaining goals. Some features of Indonesia's SDGs include: [1) a multi-stakeholderapproach, (2) innovative financing and (3) low carbon development
I hope this report can serve as an encouragement for the global fulfilment of the 2030Agenda for Sustainable Developmenl I look forward to fruitful exchanges at the 2019 High-level Political Forum and beyond.

The‘Nawacita’–istheVisionandMissionofthePresidentandVicePresidentoftheRepublic of Indonesia, articulating Indonesia’s path towards politically sovereign,economically independent, and culturaly strong nation. The Nawacita is the way toreaffirmIndonesia’sideologicalpathinenduringthesweepofhistoricalchallengesandin welcoming the future. Indonesia National Medium-Term Development Agenda(RPJMN) 2015–2019 is an operational elaboration of Nawacita, formulated with itsstrategic elements, one of which is sustainable development. The SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs), is further elaborated into relevant national developmentagendas.
The2030AgendaonSDGsrecognizesthateradicatingpovertyinallitsformsanddimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and anindispensable requirement for sustainable development. SDGs are presented as an“integratedandindivisible”wholethatstrikesabalancebetweenthethreedimensionsofsocial,economicandenvironmentaldevelopment.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development developed at the global levelcoincidedwiththeperiodofIndonesia’s2015-2019RPJMN.Someofthefocusesofthetwo documents are in line, among others: poverty, hunger and malnutrition, healthdevelopment, education and gender equality, efforts to reduce income inequality, andinequalities across regions.

Indonesia is not only committed to implement SDGs, but is determined to be apioneerandrolemodelfortheimplementationofSDGsinanefforttofosteramorejust,prosperousandamorepeacefulsociety,asamanifestationofIndonesia’sfreeandactiveforeignpolicy.The implementationof SDGs is not only very important for Indonesianpeople as reflected in the synergies betweenNawacita and SDGs, but also Indonesia'scontribution to the global community. Furthermore, SDGs are also an instrument toincreaseSouth-SouthandTriangularCooperation(SSTC)asIndonesiaiscurrentlyinthelower-middleincomecountrycategory.
BAPPENAS is the Implementing Coordinator. The Presidential Decree emphasizes theimportance of applying an inclusive principle by involving 4 (four) participationplatforms, consist of ‘Government and Parliament’, ‘Academics and Experts’,‘Philanthropy and Business Actors’, Civil Society Organizations and Media.Implementationof"nooneisleftbehind"meanttoensureinclusivenessofthepoor,menandwomen,vulnerableanddisabilitygroups.
IndonesiahavedevelopedNationalSDGsActionPlan(RAN)2017-2019whichwasofficially launched by the Vice President in June 2018. SDGs RAN summarizes bothgovernmentandnon-stateactors'workplaninachievingSDGstargetsin2019asaninitialstep towards achieving SDGs targets in 2030. In addition, Indonesia is currentlyformulating2030Agendaroadmapthatcontainsprojectionsanalysesofkeyindicators,and show their interlinkages in pursuing the welfare of the Indonesian and worldpopulation,astheultimategoalofSDGs.
The projection analyses of SDGs indicators are also used as a reference byIndonesianGovernmentinpreparingtheTechnocraticDraftofRPJMN2020-2024.Thepreparation of SDGs RAN and Roadmap has applied inclusive, participatory andtransparencyprinciplesbyinvolvingallstakeholders.Apartfromthenationallevel,theinvolvementandroleofallstakeholdersattheregionallevelisalsostrengthenedbytheestablishment of the Regional Coordination Team (TKD) stipulated by the Governor'sDecree.Withsupportofvariousdevelopmentpartners,currently19ofthe34provincesinIndonesiahavedevelopedtheirSDGsactionplans(RAD).
Indonesia held a series of SDGs events at The 2018 Annual Meetings of theInternationalMonetaryFund(IMF)andtheWorldBankGroupinBali,including;1)thesigningoftheMemorandumofUnderstanding(MoU)betweentheMinistryofNationalDevelopmentPlanningandtheUNSustainableDevelopmentSolutionNetwork(SDSN),2)United in theDiversityFoundationonCollaboration toAccelerateTheAchievementofSustainableDevelopmentGoals, 3)Hosting theASEANLeadersGathering attendedbyASEANleaderstodiscusstheimplementationofSDGsintheASEANregionandstrengthencooperationamongASEANmembercountries,4)theASEANMinistryforumforMinisterofDevelopmentPlanningwhichamongotherthingsdiscussed localizingSDGs intothenational development agenda and 5) held a Parallel Event IMF-World Bank AnnualMeetingonLocalizingtheImplementationofSDGs:‘ActLocallyonaGlobalScale’.
Indonesia is actively being involved in the G20 forums that discuss SDGsimplementationandintheAsiaPacificForumonSustainableDevelopmenthostedbyUNESCAP. Indonesia participated in the SDGs Investment Fair (SDGI Fair) initiative,organizedbyUNDESAandUNGlobalCompactheldinNewYorkon15-17April2019.Thefair aimed to find solutions for SDGs investment gap through a dialog platform andpromotion of collaborative actions among governments, institutional investors,investment banks, infrastructure companies, financial intermediaries, export creditagenciesandotherfinancialinstitutions.Indonesiaisoneofthe6countriesreviewedbyUNDESAforhavingpromisinginvestmentplansandprojectideas,investmentgapsandprioritysectors.

Indonesiaalsoseeksasmuchaspossibletofindavarietyof financingsourcestofund SDGs implementation, both conventional and innovative financing schemes. Thesourcesoffinancemaycomefrom:
1. Optimization of State Revenues. State revenues of tax, excise taxes, non-taxrevenues, grants, retribution, etc. will continue to be optimized. The sources offinancing are some of the indicators under Goal 17 to ensure the means ofimplementation (MoI) of SDGs.Optimizing the tax is currently themain sourceoffinancingsince Indonesiahasbeencategorizedasa lower-middle incomecountry,makingitmoredifficulttobequalifiedforforeignaid.
2. Sources of Non-Government Financing. Indonesians have strong traditions ofgenerosity.Gallupsurvey(2016)showsthatIndonesiaisthesecondmostgenerouscountryintheworldafterMyanmar.PhilanthropicactivitiesinIndonesiashowsomeprogressmarkedbyagrowingnumberof institutionsaimedatgivingandhelpingothers, including religious-based organizations and family foundations. Socialreligiousfunds,forexamplethroughZakat,Infaq,Shadaqah,Perpuluhan,KolekteandDanaPunia,haveenormouspotential.ThepotentialofZakatinIndonesiahasreachedaroundRp213trillion/year(15billionUSD),howeveronly1.2percentorRp3trillion(214millionUSD) of the total are raised thus far.

3. Otherlegitimateandnon-bindingsources.Innovativefinancingiscurrentlybeingdeveloped to finance SDGs for example through PINA (Non-Government BudgetInvestmentFinancing),PPP(PublicPrivatePartnerships),capitalmarket(egKehatiIndex), money market instruments (green bonds), Financial Institutions (Banks,MFIs, venture capital, etc.), debt swapmechanisms, impact investingmechanisms,crowdfinance,andblendedfinance(Government,Private,Philanthropy).OneofthefinancingschemesthatcanbetakenbythecentralandregionalgovernmentsisPPPscheme.Thereare19PPPsectorsthatsupporttheachievementof9SDGsgoals,forexample, the electricity, oil and gas. Renewable energy and energy conservationsectorssupporttheachievementofGoal7.

2. In governance accountability, challenges are including corruption, which amongothers,isindicatedbytheIndonesianAnti-CorruptionBehaviorIndexat3.66(onascaleof5)in2018;publicinformationdisclosuredecreasedto39.29%in2017from50,38% in 2016; birth registration has not yet covered all Indonesian children,especially children from poor and vulnerable households (bottom 40%); violenceagainst children reached 38.62% for boys and 20.48% for girls (2013); and theprevalenceofwomenaged20-24yearswhowerefirstmarriedorinunionbeforeage18is12%(2015).
3. Ineducationsector,thebiggestchallengeistoimprovethequalityofteachingandlearning outcomes, strengthen the quality assurance of education to improve theservices distribution between interdepartmental and inter-regional, improveeducationgovernanceinmanagementfieldandbudgetutilization.
4. Challenges in disaster management and managing the impacts of climate changeinclude geographical factors and the characteristics of multi-disaster threats,increasedpopulationwhichpotentiallyexposedtodisasters,andthelackofdisasterpreparedness.Bigamountofcriticallandtoberestored,lackofenergydiversificationandinefficientuseofnaturalresources.Otherchallengesincludelowtaxcompliance,inadequacy of taxation human resources, and the need to increase the fixedbroadband.

CHAPTER3 POLICYANDENABLINGENVIRONMENT
3.1 CreatingOwnershipoftheSDGs
Since Indonesia’s first VNR report in July 2017, SDGs implementation isunderpinned by a strong joint ownership by the government and non-governmentorganizations. This joint ownership is formalized through the issuance of PresidentialDecreeNo.59Year2017onAchievingtheSustainableDevelopmentGoalsonJuly4,2017.TheDecreeisamanifestationofIndonesia’shighestcommitmenttoactivelyengagethefourparticipatoryplatformsintheprocessofplanning,implementingandmonitoringaswell as evaluating SDGs, namely National and Subnational governments, Civil SocietyOrganizationsandMedia,PhilanthropyandBusiness,AcademicsandExperts.
The joint ownership ofSDGs implementation inIndonesia is evidenced by theestablishment of nine (9) SDGsCenters namely, University ofPadjajaran,UniversityofJember,University of Mataram,University of Hasanuddin,UniversityofBengkulu,BandungInstitute of Technology (ITB),
BogorAgriculturalInstitute(IPB),UniversityofIndonesia(UI),andIndonesia’sBankingDevelopment Institute (LPPI). The commitment of the universities to establish SDGsstudiesandresearchcentersisthemanifestationofthedesiretoprovideevidence-basedsupport for policies by taking advantage of the relevant universities’ strengths. TheseuniversitiesareexpectedtoworkwithandfacilitatethelocalgovernmentindevelopingtheirrespectiveSubnationalActionPlans(RencanaAksiDaerah-RAD).

Community organizations, particularlyCivilSocietyOrganizations(CSOs),playtheirroles in the participatory platform as thecounterpart andpartner of the governmentat every stage of SDGs implementation. InIndonesia, there are almost four hundredthousands of CSOs that work both at thenational and subnational levels. Notably,youth and disability organizations are veryactive in engagement and dissemination ofSDGs awareness to their peers andcommunities. Their engagement is alsoreflected in the process of developing andreviewingthe2019VNR.
From the outset, the IndonesianParliament has been active in promoting SDGs by organizing regularly the WorldParliamentaryForum(WFP)onSustainableDevelopment(since2017)andengaginginSDGsdiscussions at both the regional and global context. TheParliamentaryBody forInter-ParliamentaryCooperation(BKSAP)establishedintheIndonesianParliamenthasplayedakeyroleinenhancingcooperationandcoordinationbetweenparliamentandthegovernment (represented by theMinistry ofNationalDevelopment Planning/NationalDevelopmentPlanningAgency).Inpreparingthe2019VNR,BKSAPwasalsoconsultedregularlyby thegovernment.BKSAPhascarriedoutseveralactivities in fosteringanddevelopingSDGengagementandcooperationintheinter-parliamentarycontext,aswellaswithininternationalorganizationsthatconveneparliamentarybodiesand/orotherlegislative bodies.

The aim of Transition Team formation was to accelerate thepreparation of the new RPJMD. The Transition Team consisted of government,international and local NGOs, academics and private sectors actors. Members of theTransition Team oversaw the development process of the SDGs action plan and wereaskedtoprovideinputregardingthealignmentoftheGovernor'smissionstatementwithSDGs.Thisworkwassubsequentlyarticulatedinitsownsub-chapterinthedevelopmentplan.

Currently,Indonesia aims to establish a conducivedevelopment policy framework underpinned bysafe and peaceful social conditions characterizedbylegalcertainty.Inlinewiththeseefforts,thereisalso an increase in the inclusive aspect ofdevelopment implementation by involvingmulti-stakeholders participation and variouscollaborations among relevant parties at thenational and international level. These aspectshave become the main drivers in advancingprogress in inclusive development and realizingIndonesia’seconomicgrowthtoregisteraboveG20andglobalaverages.
Indonesia’s economic growth has increased employment opportunities with thecreation of nearly 10 million jobs in 2018, as well as improved access to education,increased gender parity index and reduced inequality gap that nearly reach score 1.Simultaneously,Indonesiaisabletoreducegreenhousegas(GHG)emissionsandcarryout disaster risk reduction (DRR) efforts. A notable achievement of SDGs targets isreduced inequalities marked by the Gini Coefficient decline to 0.384 in 2018.

Indonesia has in recent years achieved improved access to education. This isexemplifiedby,amongotherthings,increaseincompletionratesofeducationathigherlevels,driveninpartbyeffortstowardensuringhigherparticipationamonglargergroupsof people. As such, education participation rates continue to experience a generallyupward trend. Indonesia hasmaintained a GER for primary education at higher than100%since2000.Further,theGERforjuniorsecondaryschoolreached91.5%in2018,signalingagoodrateofparticipationatthat level.However,thereremainsmuchworkandcoordinatedeffortsthatarenecessarytoensurethatincreaseinparticipationratesarealsoextendedtoeducationatthehighersecondaryandtertiarylevels.

To fulfill the mandate of the constitution and the mandate of the law, theGovernmentofIndonesiaiscommittedtoguaranteeingthebasicrightsofallcitizenstoobtainqualityeducationwithoutdiscrimination,includingchildrenwithdisabilities.Forpeoplewithdisabilities,theGovernmenthasorganizedanInclusiveEducationProgramfor all. This Inclusive Education has the main objectives, namely: combatingdiscrimination, creating an open society, building an inclusive society, and achievingeducationforall.

Inclusive education is intended to provide equal opportunities for all school-agechildrenregardlessoftheirsocio-cultural-economicbackgroundandphysicalandmentalconditions,sothattheydonotexperiencesocialmarginalizationandexclusion.Inclusiveeducationiscarriedoutinregularschools,sothatchildrenwithspecialneedscaninteractandsocializenaturallywiththeirpeers,whoarenormallywithoutdisabilities.
The implementation of this Inclusive Education Program is based on tworegulations, namely: (1) Minister of National Education Regulation No. 70 Year 2009concerning Inclusive Education for children with disabilities, special intelligence, andspecial talents; and (2) Minister of Research, Technology and Higher EducationRegulationNo.46Year2017concerningSpecialEducationandSpecialServiceEducation.These two regulations are actually derived from Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning theNational Education System, which mandates the government to organize inclusiveeducation,aswellasevidenceofthecommitmentoftheIndonesianGovernmenttocarryoutthe1994SamalancaDeclaration.
Inordertomeettheurgentneedsofteachersintheforemost,outermost,anddisadvantagedregions(3T),theIndonesiangovernmenthascarriedoutanaffirmativeprogramcalledSM3T–teachercollege’sgraduateswhoaredispatchedintoremoteareastodoteaching—since2011.TheSM3Tprogramwasdesignedtoovercometheproblemof teachershortage in thesomecountry’s regions with a one-year service period, and the participants are then grantedscholarship after the service to take the so-called Teacher Professional Education program(PPG). The SM3T is very important toprovide teacher college’s graduateswithservice experience as they have a verygoodopportunitytodevelopprofessionalattitudes and patriotism, as well as toequipthemwithsoftandsocialskillssuchas caring, empathy, and solidarity, sincetheyliveinwithdisadvantagedpeopleinthe remote areas. This program hasproduced more than 10,000 alumni (6batches) from various universitiesthroughoutIndonesia.
InadditiontobeingasolutiontotheissuesofteachershortageandequityofqualityeducationserviceinIndonesia,theimplementationoftheSM3Tprogramhasalsobeenproventobeabletoproduceteacherswhohavegoodcharacterandarereliable,sensitivetoothersandabletosurviveinvariousconditions.TocomplementtheSM3Tprogramwhichwasconsideredashort-term solution, the concept of Integrated Teacher Professional Education (PPGT) was alsocarried out by recruiting and preparing graduates of SMA / SMK from the 3T areas to beeducatedfor5yearsinselectedLPTKsandassignedtotheregionsoforiginaftertheygraduate.ThecombinationoftheSM3TandPPGTprogramsisbasedontheMajuBersamaMencerdaskanIndonesia(MBMI)program.
The out-of-school children issue has posed a major barrier in Indonesia’s pursuit andachievementofuniversal12-yearseducation,especiallyinlightofthelargenumberofchildrenaged16-18yearswhoarestillnotinschool.OneofthemajorchallengesthattheGovernmentfaceswhile tackling this issue is the significant lack of comprehensivedata that allow for amappingofwheretheout-of-schoolchildrenarelocated,howmanythereareinanygivenarea,whotheyare,andwhatfactorsserveasobstaclesprohibitingtheirreturnandreintegrationintotheeducationsystem.
Toaddressthisissue,UNICEFhassupportedanumberofBack-to-SchoolMovements(GerakanKembaliBersekolah/GKB)atthecenterofwhichistheimplementationofaCommunityBasedDevelopment Information System (Sistem Informasi Pembangunan BerbasisMasyarakat/SIPBM)with a purpose of closing thedata gap on out-of-school children at thecommunitylevel.SIPBMisadatabasedevelopmentinitiativegatheredbycommunitymembers,on community members and are available for use by community members as well as thegovernment toward addressing OOSC issue in their community.

TheSIPBM implementationhas resulted in thousandsofout-of-school childrenreturning toschoolingboththroughformalandnon-formaleducationasapartofvariousBack-to-SchoolMovements.

TheIndonesiangovernmentcontinuestoshowcommitmenttoimprovethequalityofeducationinIndonesia.Effortsbythegovernmenthavehadgoodresultsinthelast3-5years.ItwasreflectedintheimprovementofvariousSDG4performanceindicatorsthatsupport thequalityof learningand teachingprocesses.This includes the fulfillmentofschoolswithaccesstoelectricity,internetforlearningpurposes,computersforlearningpurposes, clean water, single-sex basic sanitation facilities, and basic hand washingfacilities. Inaddition, indicators thatshowthequalityof learningcontinueto improve,such as the proportion of teachers with S1/DIV (higher education completion)qualification;andtheproportionofcertifiedteachers.

In general, the quality of infrastructure to support education in Indonesiacontinually improved throughout the2015-2018period.Commitments to improve theuse of technology in learning are demonstrated by, among others, the increasingproportion of schoolswith access to internet and computers for learning. Specificallyrelatedtointernetaccess,theprogresswasquiterapidin2018comparedtothepreviousyear.
Meanwhile, Indonesia hasgenerally succeeded in ensuringschools to have access to electricity.Mostschools(above90%ofprimaryand secondary education) alreadyhaveaccess toelectricity.Vocationalsecondary school have the highestaccesstoelectricitycomparedtotheotherlevels.Figure12showsthat in2018 the proportion of vocationalsecondary schools with access toelectricity was 99.56% or almost100%. The proportion of schools attheprimaryschool levelwithaccessto electricity was the lowestcompared to theother levels,but itsgrowth was the highest at 1.15%pointsthroughout2016-2018.
Themostrapidprogressis intheproportion of schools with single-sextoilet facility. In 2018,most schools inIndonesiahadtoiletsingoodconditionandseparatedbysex.Seniorsecondaryschool had the highest percentage(84.14%) compared to other levels ofeducation; then followedbyvocationalsecondary school (83.40%); juniorsecondary school (79.48%) andprimaryschool(68.99%).Schoolswithaccess to clean water and basic handwashing facilities also continue toincrease.
Not only facilities and infrastructure, teachers also have an important role inensuringqualitylearningandteachingprocesses.Strengtheningteachercompetenciesinpedagogical,character,socialandprofessionalskillsareaimedtoreinstatetheroleoftheteacherasafacilitatorthatsupporttheprocessoflearningthatismoreeffective,activeandhighquality.Lawnumber14year2005concerningTeachersandLecturersmandatesthatteachersmusthaveacademicqualifications-minimumbachelordegree(S1)orfourthdiploma(D-IV)-andhaveaneducatorcertificateinaccordancewiththelevelofteaching.Through certification, teachers are expected to have a number of competencies inpedagogical,character,social,andprofessionalcompetence.

Theprogramencouragesyouthwitha process of self-awareness andcritical thinking of the youth basedon the real life's experience, using‘action research’. This research isimplemented by the youththemselves, so the youth areempoweredtoidentifytheproblemsand the solution, and then they arealso equipped with organizationaland advocacy skills to enable theyouthtovoicetheiraspirationinthecontext of supporting a villagedevelopment.

CurrentPolicies,EffortsandGoodPractices
Inordertoimproveparticipationrateof6yearoldsinpre-primaryeducation,theGovernmentlaunchedsomeprogramsandpolicies,suchas:ImplementationOperationalAssistance (BantuanOperasional Penyelenggaraan/BOP)PAUD,OneVillageOnePAUDprogram,Holistic-IntegrativePAUDProgram,Compulsory1YearofPAUDMovementandimplementing structural changes in PAUD organization in order to encouragecommunities/institutions to establish PAUD and encouraging establishment ofDevelopment Agency/Development Centre PAUD (Badan Pengembangan/PusatPengembanganPAUD-BP/PPPAUD)inprovinces.
Some good practices in improving the service of early childhood education incommunitiesare:(1)introducingonlineplatform(sahabatkeluarga.kemdikbud.go.id)asacommunicationchannelbetweenparentsandtheschool;(2)increasingtheaccesstoPAUDthroughoneroofkindergarten(TK)andprimaryschool(SD),andatthesametimeutilizingearly levelprimaryschool teachers tobecomePAUDteacher; (3)establishingPAUDDevelopmentCenterineachprovince.ThiscenterwilldesignPAUDpilotprojectsandStudyActivitiesStudio(SanggarKegiatanBelajar/SKB),bothofwhichshallbethereferencetoestablishPAUDbytheRegionalGovernment.

Intertiary education, the gap of education between economic status is still vast.Provisionofhighereducationserviceshavenotfullybeenabletoreachpeoplefromlowsocio-economicstatusbackground.
The handling of OOSC has been facing some problems. Low cross-sectorcoordination has caused the efforts to minimize social, economic, cultural andgeographical barriers-that cause school age children to be unable to accesseducationalservice-tooperatesub-optimally.Furthermore,theattemptstohandleOOSCthathavebeenundertaken,havenotbeenaccommodativeenoughtoaddressvariousneedsandissuesthatarefacedbychildren(suchasdisabilitiesandspecialneeds, homelessness, lawsuit, child marriage or teenage mothers and workingchildrenorchildlabor).
The implementation of inclusive education in Indonesia also still faces somechallenges, for instance, not all schools are ready to accept childrenwith specialneeds.Schoolsdonothaveteacherswithspecialbackgroundstohandleandguidestudentswithdisabilities.Inaddition,socialinfrastructureandfacilitiesinschoolsare still very lacking, so that they cannot fully support the implementation ofinclusiveeducation.Duetothelimitationsofthesupportinginfrastructure,manychildrenwithdisabilitiesare forcedtogotoschool ina locationfarenoughfromtheirhome.
Indonesia has aMinister for EducationRegulationNo. 70 Year 2009 concerningInclusiveEducationforchildrenwithdisabilities,specialintelligence,specialtalentsandaMinisterforResearch,TechnologyandHigherEducationRegulationNo.46Year2017concerningSpecialEducationandSpecialServiceEducation.Challengesinimplementinginclusiveeducationarestilllimitedininclusiveschools.However,efforts tocarryouta jointmovementtorealize inclusiveeducationcontinue.Forexample,theSouthSulawesi,EastNusaTenggaraandPapuaProvincialGovernmentconductedanassessmentandadvocacyforbeneficiarieswithdisabilitiesinschoolage.Importantthingsthatneedtobedoneinthefutureare:(1)Strengtheningthepartisanship of the regional government through affirmative policies; (2)Strengthening the movement and participation of People with DisabilitiesOrganizations; (3)Preparationof thepublic to live co-existwithand respect therightsofpeoplewithdisabilities.

Another challenge is related to certified teachers, inwhich therewas a

decrease in the number of certified teachers in every level of education. It issuspected that such phenomenon happened because the previous method ofcertificationwas conducted for9days,while the currentmodel is theEducationProgramforTeachingProfession(ProgramPendidikanProfesiGuru/PPG)spanningover6months.

6. EradicationofForcedandChildlabour
To eliminate the worst forms of child labor, the government ratified the ILOConventionNo.182concerningtheProhibitionandImmediateActionfortheEliminationoftheWorstFormsofChildLabourthroughtheissuanceofLawNo.1Year2000.In2015,thegovernmenthaspublishedaroadmaptofullyeradicatechildlaborin2022.However,acccordingtoFigure51,theimplementationoftheroadmapremainsbelow-expectationas progress is quite slow. In 2018, 7% of total workers are child laborers i.e. agingbetween10to17years.
The government also launched National Program for Reducing Child Labour(Program Nasional Pengurangan Pekerja Anak Dalam Rangka Mendukung ProgramKeluargaHarapan/PPA-PKH)forchildlaborers,especiallytheonesthatworkintheworstformsofchildlabor(BentukPekerjaanTerburukuntukAnak/BPTA)andhavedroppedoutofschoolinVeryPoorHousehold(RumahTanggaSangatMiskin/RTSM).From2008to2018,thisprogramhasreturned105,956childlaborersbacktoschool.Somechallengesremain,suchasdifficultyinerasinghazardouschildlabor,lackoffinancialresourcesandpersonnelintheenforcementofchildlaborlawsthroughoutthecountry.

B. Challenges
1. RegionalDisparity
Despiteamoreinclusivegrowthachievedbythegovernmentinthelastfouryears,thereisstillasignificantdisparityinpovertyandinequalitybetweenurbanandruralareaacross provinces in Indonesia. SinceWestern Indonesia is themost populated region,economicactivity,tradeandinvestmentaretraditionallyconcentratedintheregioni.e.
Thestructureoftheeconomystillheavilyreliesonthelow-value-addedsector.Forexample,coalandCPOarestill themostsignificantcontributorsto Indonesia’sexport.Thehigh-technologyexportproductsasaproportionoftotalmanufacturedexportshasfallen from 12.87% in 2009 to 5.43% in 2017. ADB (2019) explains that Indonesia’scomplexityindexhasnotincreasedduringtheperiodconsideredandthattheIndonesianeconomyissignificantlylesscomplexthanthemoreadvancedEastAsianandSoutheastAsianeconomies.Therefore,asthestructuraltransformationprogresses,Indonesianeedstoimproveitseconomytowardsamorediversifiedandhighvalue-addedeconomy.
3. GenderGap,QualityofWorkersandYouthUnemployment
ThesethreecrucialissueshavehamperedIndonesia’slabormarketdevelopment.Firstly,thereisastagnationonwomen’slaborparticipationratewhichrequiresspecialattention to the future policy direction. Additionally, women are more likely to beemployedintheinformalsectorandpaidalowerwagecomparedtomen.Therefore,thegovernmentshouldassuretheimplementationofequalemploymentopportunitypolicy.Secondly, low productivity of the workers indicates the low level of educationalbackground in Indonesia compared to other ASEAN countries. According to PISA,Indonesia’s students are lagging behind their peers in terms of science, reading andmathematicsskills.Additionally,around63%ofmanufacturinglaborersarejuniorhighschool graduates and lower. People with higher educational levels tend to enter theservice sector. Increasing labor productivity in the manufacturing sector througheducationandtraningisimportant,sincemanufacturingworkershaverelativelyhigherincomecomparedtoothersectors.

4. SkillMismatchandReadinessforFutureJobs
JobmismatchisconsiderablyquitesevereinIndonesiaalthoughthetrendisstartingto decline. It consists of two types, i.e. vertical (overqualified, underqualified) andhorizontal (mismatch with educational background). According to ILO (2017), over-educationhassignificantlydecreased,from27%to19.2%in2016.However,theunder-educationtrendhadbeenincreasingfrom10%in2006to17%in2016.Inotherwords,companies areworking under their full capacity because of under-educatedworkers.IndonesiaalsorankslowintheDigitalCompetitivenessIndexwhichmeansthatIndonesiaisstillnotreadyforfuturejobs.Itshouldbenotedthattechnologicalchangeshifts jobroles,andoccupationalstructuresaretransformingthedemandforskillsatafasterpacethan ever before. For example, by 2022, only 58% task hours will be performed byhumansand42%bymachines(McKinsey,2016).
5. SocialDialogueandEffectivenessofSupervision
The effectiveness of social dialogue in industrial relations can be observed byseveral indicators such as the number of bipartite cooperation institution, companyregulations (Peraturan Perusahaan) and collective labor agreement (Perjanjian KerjaBersama).From2014to2018,thereisanincreaseforthesethreeindicators.However,thesenumberarestilllowintermsofratiooftotalfirms.In2018,thereare16,962firmsthathavebipartitecooperationinstitution,upfrom16,168firmsin2014.
On thesupervision, in2016, theMinistryofManpowerreported that therewereonly1,923laborinspectorsinallofIndonesia,boththosedirectlyinprovincialministriesandlaboragencies.Whiletheobjectoflaborinspectionreaches252,880companieswithasmany as 13.1millionworkers, thismeans that every labor inspector on average isresponsible for 132 companies and 6,832 people. Low number social dialogue andsupervision contribute to the increaseof theprobability of having industrial relationsconflict.
6. LaborRegulations
Laborregulations in Indonesiawhichrefer toLawNo.13of2003seekstocoverformalandinformalemploymentcontexts,byclassifyingtypesofworkersintwocontextsi.e. workers who are in an employment relationship and outside the employmentrelationship. Employment relationships themselves are defined as the relationshipbetweenworkers and employers based onwork agreements,which have elements ofemployment,wages,andorders(Article1number15oftheManpowerAct).Ingeneral,workerswhofulfilltheelementofworkrelationsworkwithinthescopeofthecompanywith a large medium scale business (UMB), while workers who work on a smallmicroscale (UMK) have a tendency to be considered non-employment relations,especiallywhenbusinessactorsarenot legalentitiesanddonotprovideemploymentagreementsforworkers.
Second, several studies explain that the labor regulation rigidity is hamperingIndonesia’scompetitiveness.Thishasabad implication to investmentclimateandhasmade Indonesia fall behind its peers in terms of investment attractiveness amonginvestors.Therefore,reformationinthelaborregulationisalreadyinthegovernment’sprioritytoensureabetterregulationforallstakeholders.

A. TrendAnalysis
1. GiniRatio
Inthelastfourdecades,theGiniratiomeasuringinequalityinIndonesiahasshowndynamicfluctuations,inaccordancewiththedynamicchangesinsocio-economicaspects(Figure57).Aroundthe1970s,theincreaseininequalitywascausedbyimprovedaccessto education and infrastructure in Indonesia. Around the 1980s, inequality declinedconsistentlyduetotheexpansionoftheagriculturesectorandmassiveeconomicgrowth,especiallyintheruralareas.
Fromthelate1980sto1996,theGiniratioexperiencedanincreaseduetogrowthin financial andbanking sectors aswell as services,whichare closely related tohigh-skilledworkers.From1998to1999,theGiniratiodecreasedduetotheAsianFinancialCrisis. Then, the economy being supported by a commodity boom started growing,followedbyanincreasedGiniratiowhichlaterdecreasedduetothe2008GlobalFinancialCrisis.Inrelationtofinancialoreconomiccrisesingeneral,thesamepatternisfoundinmanyothercountries,socrisesalmostalwaysreduceinequality(Milanovic,2016).AftertheGlobalFinancialCrisis,inequalityhasconsistentlyincreasedandreacheditspeakof0,41in2011.
InequalitycanalsobemeasuredbyTheilindexthatshowsinequalitybetweenandwithingroups.Figure60showsthedifferenceintheinequalityofurban-ruralareas.Itisshownthatafter reaching itspeak in2011, inequalityhasbeenreduced from2015 to2018.Fora long time, thebiggest contributorofnational inequality is the intra-groupinequality,whichiswithintheurbanareasandtheruralareasitself.Thisisinlinewiththe national inequality framework which holds that regional inequality is moredependentonstructuralfactors.Nevertheless,theurban-ruralgapnarrowed,andfrom2015 to 2018 showed significant decline. This phenomenon is attributed to thegovernment’spolicyof“Developing fromtheperiphery”andputtingmoreattention inruralareasandvillagesthroughVillageFund(DanaDesa)andbuildinginfrastructuretoachievedevelopmentconvergence.Convergencemeansperipheralregionscancatchupwiththemoredevelopedregionsleadingtoamoreequaldistributionofwealth.
Some countries have shown that increased inequality is often an unavoidableproductrapideconomicgrowth.OneexampleisBrazil.HavingsimilarcharacteristicstoIndonesia,BrazilexperiencedthefastestgrowthofinequalityinSouthAmerica.InBrazil’scase, thesuccessof tackling inequality isattributedtoprudentmanagementofmacro-economicstabilityincludingpricestability,educationexpansionaswellasmassivepro-poorsocialsecurityexpansion(WorldBank,2017).Thisshowsthatpositiveeconomicgrowth can be followed by a reduction in inequality. Therefore, improvements instructural economic factors which determine the profile of the society in general, orspecifically the labor market, is key to the framework of any country’s inequalityreductionpolicies.
In 2017 and 2018, DFI and OXFAM released The Commitment to ReducingInequalityindex,measuredbyindicatorsofpoliciesimplementedinacountry,includingpoliciesonpublicexpenditures,taxesandemployment.Table4showsIndonesia’srankintermsofcommitmenttoreducinginequality.In2017,Indonesiaranked101outof152countries,andlaterimprovedto90outof157countriesin2018.TheincreaseinrankshowsthatIndonesiaincreaseditscommitmenttoreduceinequality.IndonesiaisrankedbetterintheEastAsiaandPacificregion.Indonesiaexperiencedimprovementsinpublicexpendituresandtaxes.Thiswasshowninthisperiodbytheincreasedbudgetallocationfordirectlyreducinginequality(redistributionincludingsocialassistance)andindirectly(buildinginfrastructure).

2. National Poverty Rate and Percentage of the Poor Living inUnderdevelopedRegions
In2018,thepercentageofthepoorinruralareasdecreasedto13.2%from13.93%in 2017. This was supported by Special Allocated Funds (Dana Alokasi Khusus/DAK)valuedRp14,9trillion(2017)for122underdevelopedregions.

CurrentPolicies,EffortsandGoodPractices
Expansion of National Health Insurance Members. In the effort to reducepoverty,IndonesiahasimplementedNationalSocialSecuritySystemforhealthandforworkers. To implement it, the Social Security Organizing Body (Badan PenyelenggaraJaminanSosial/BPJS)isgiventhemandatetoorganizethesocialsecurityprograms.TheprogramforhealthistheNationalHealthInsurance(JaminanKesehatanNasional/JKN),whichintegrateshundredsofseparateexistinghealthinsuranceandemployer-providedhealthcareservicesto itsemployees(self-insured). JKNpoolscontributionsfromthreecategoriesof(i)thepoorandnear-poorasbenefitbeneficiariesfromthegovernment,(ii)the employees in public and private formal sector, paid in percentage from bothemployersandemployees,and(iii)thenon-poorworkingintheinformalsector,whichwillpayafixedpremiumcontribution.

The number of beneficiaries increases as the fund allocation alsoincreases.
The focus of the development of underdeveloped regions are reflected in thefollowingindicators:(i)numberofunderdevelopedregionsthathavebeendeveloped,(ii)numberofunderdevelopedvillages,(iii)numberofindependentvillages(DesaMandiri),and(iv)averageeconomicgrowthinunderdevelopedregions.Inlinewiththetargetofvillage development in the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan toreduce5,000underdevelopedvillagesandtoincrease2,000independentvillagesin2019,IndonesiahasdevelopedtheVillageDevelopmentIndex(IndeksPembangunanDesa/IPD)
Figure68showsthevillagedevelopmentstatusforyears2014and2018.In2014,Indonesiahad74,093villages, inwhich2,898were independentvillages,50,763weredevelopingvillages,and20,432wereunderdevelopedvillages.Between2014and2018,Indonesia experienced division andmerging of villages.Hence in 2018 Indonesia had75,436 villages, in which 5,606 were independent villages, 55,369 were developingvillages and 14,461 were underdeveloped villages. To be able to compare the databetweenthetwoyears,adjustmentsarerequiredtoexcludethedivisionsandmergersofvillagesinaccordancewiththe2014data.
Figure68.ProgressofVillageDevelopment,2014and2018
CurrentPolicies,EffortsandGoodPractices
VillageFund.ThroughLawNo.6Year2014regardingVillages,thegovernmentwasgivenamandatetodistributetheVillageFundtoachievethetargetsintheMediumTermNational Development Plan, especially increasing basic social services in villages;increasing production, value added and income of the villagers; decreasingunemployment rates, poverty rates and stunting; strengthening village social culturalcapital;decreasingthenumberofunderdevelopedvillages;andincreasingthenumberofindependentvillages.In2017,74,957villageshavebeenassistedby36,594assistantsinallregencies/cities,districtsandvillages;18,446village-ownedenterprises(BadanUsahaMilikDesa/BUMDes)havebeen formedand strengthened to support village economicactivities; and Rp 58.95 trillion of Village Funds has been distributed to 434regencies/cities(99%ofthetotalofVillageFundsofRp60trillion).
WiththedistributionoftheVillageFund,itisapparentthattheaverageeconomicgrowth of underdeveloped regions (Figure 69) have the same pattern as that of thenationaleconomicgrowth,albeitwithhighergrowth.Since2012,after thecommodityboom,Indonesiaexperiencedeconomiccontractionreflectedinaslowerrateofeconomicgrowth.However, Indonesiasucceeds tomaintainpositiveeconomicgrowth,andevenhighergrowthinunderdevelopedregions.
According to the data available, this indicator may be measured through anexpenditures approach. This indicator is commonly used in developed countries tomeasure relative poverty. Although Indonesia has experienced decreasing absolutepoverty rate, at the same time Indonesia experienced an increase inpopulation livingunder 50% ofmedian expenditure as shown in Figure 70 below. The proportion hasdecreased in 2018. This shows that although a percentage of the population is out ofabsolute poverty but they are still vulnerable to poverty. Figure 70 also shows fasterincreaseinmedianexpenditureofhouseholdsin2014-2018incomparisontotheaverageofexpendituresbelow50%median.Thehighergrowthofthemedianalsoshowsthatthemiddleclassisrising.
Meanwhile,Figure71showsthenumberofindividualslivingunder50%ofmedianexpendituresaccordingtogenderandurban-ruralarea.Bothmalesandfemalesshowedanincreasingproportionofindividualslivingbelowthe50%ofmedianincome,withthefemale proportion being slightly higher than themale. The urban-rural gap is slightlymoresignificant.Theproportionofpopulationlivingbelow50%medianexpendituresinruralareasaretwiceofthoseinurbanareas.
Figure 72 below shows the proportion of population living below 50%medianexpendituresbydisabilitystatusin2018.Since2018,theNationalSocio-EconomicSurvey(Susenas)hasincludedquestionsondisability.Thereareeight(8)questions,includingdifficultyinsight,hearing,walkingorwalkingupthestairs,movingfingers,memorizingorconcentrating,controllingbehaviororemotion,speakingorcommunicating,andtakingcareofoneself.Thestatusofdisability,asseeninthefollowingfigure,isdefinedaspeopleexperiencing a little difficulty (moderate status) as well as a lot of difficulty and/orneedingassistance (severe status). FromFigure72, it is shown that theproportionofpopulationlivingbelow50%medianexpenditureare2percentagepointshigherforthepeople with disability compared to people without disability. This may imply thatdisabledindividualsarerelativelypoorercomparedtothosewithoutdisability.
5. Proportion of members of the National Social Security for WorkersProgram
Oneoftheeffortsinreducinginequalityandpovertyisthroughthestrengtheningofsocialsecuritysystemsespeciallyforthepoorandvulnerablethroughgovernanceandsynchronization of the National Social Security System (Sistem Jaminan Sosial
Nasional/SJSN)forhealthandworkers,aswellasincreasingthemembershipofuniversalhealthcoverage (JKN)andworkers insurance in theworkplace.LawNo40Year2004regardingtheNationalSocialSecuritySystem,theSocialSecurityOrganizingBody(BadanPenyelenggara Jaminan Sosial/BPJS) is given the mandate to organize social securityprograms. For the workers, BPJS for workers provides several services, includinginsurance for Work-Related Accidents (Program Jaminan Kecelakaan Kerja/JKK), LifeInsurance(JaminanKematian/JKM),insuranceforseniors(JaminanHariTua/JHT),andpension(JaminanPensiun).
From the number ofmembers, there are increases forwageworkers, non-wageworkers and construction workers, as shown in Figure 73. Wage workers andconstructionworkersaspartoftheformalsectorhavethebiggestnumberofmembers.Howevernon-wageworkersortheinformalsectorhasexperiencedthehighestincrease,thoughthenumberisstillrelativelysmall.Althoughthereisprogress,moreeffortneedsto be done because 75% of workers in Indonesia are not yet members of the socialsecurityforworkers,especiallythoseintheinformalsector,whoarethebiggerportionofworkersinIndonesia.
In addressing inequality between income groups, the challenges include: (1)slowdowninpovertyreduction;(2)unequalaccessandqualityofhealthandnutritionservices;(3)unequalaccessandqualityofeducation;(4)unequalaccessforhouseholdsto housing and settlement; and (5) governance of unstandardized basic services.Therefore,amulti-sectoralandmulti-stakeholdercooperation is required to reach thepoorandvulnerableintheefforttoreducepoverty.
The main challenges in addressing regional inequality include: (1) unequaldistributionoftransportationandlogisticsnetworks,aswellasnationalconnectivityinsupportingleadingsectors;(2)highcostoflogisticsandcommoditypricesinregionswithlimitedaccessibility;(3)lowaccessibilitytobasicservicesandeconomicactivitycentersfor people living in villages, rural areas, underdeveloped regions, border regions andtransmigration regions; (4) disaster unpreparedness; and (5) inadequate facilities forfisherieslogisticssystem.
C. TheWayForward
TheGovernmentofIndonesiamaintainsahighandincreasinglyinclusiveeconomicgrowthinordertoservealllayersofsociety.Inclusiveeconomicgrowthiscentereduponupscaling and increasing economic access to reduce poverty and inequality throughquality job creation. Policies to reduce inequality in 2019 GovernmentWorkplan andbeyond,focusesonthedevelopmentofhumanandregionalequality.
Reducing inequality between income groups is supported by several policies,including(1)accelerationofpovertyreduction;(2)increasingaccessofcommunityhealthand nutrition; (3) equal quality education; (4) increasing access to housing andsettlement;and(5)increasinggovernanceofbasicservices.
Reducing regional inequality through connectivity and maritime development,through (1) an improved logistics system; (2) development of infrastructure; (3)accelerationofPapuaandWestPapuadevelopment;(4)accelerationofthedevelopmentofunderdevelopedregionsandvillages;and(5)disasterriskmanagement.
TheGoal13discussionwillcover2mainissues,namely:(1)Strengtheningclimateresilience and adaptive capacity related to hazards and disasters which consist of 3(three) indicators,namelythenumberofdeaths,missingpersonsanddirectlyaffectedpersons attributed to disasters, national disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategydocuments in linewiththeSendaiFramework forDisasterRiskReduction2015–2030andproportionof localgovernmentsthatadoptandimplementlocalDRRstrategiesinlinewithnationalDRRstrategies;(2)Integratetheclimatechangemitigationeffortsintonationalpolicies,strategiesandplanningwhichconsistofBiennialUpdateReport(BUR)and National Communication (NatCom) reporting indicator, and other nationalindicators, namely (a) percentage of GHG emission reduction and (b) GHG emissionintensity.

In addition, the RPB is used to measure theimplementationandachievementofregionalDRRtargets,duringtheperiodofplanningandimplementationofmedium-termdevelopment.
Internalization of DRR in development at the national and regionalgovernment levels. As an initial step, DRR policies are internalized into 2015-2019GovernmentWorkPlan,implementedby32Ministries/Institutionsthrough68programs.These plans are directed to strengthen the capacity of disaster managementimplementation in the regions. Disaster management is set as a Minimum Service
To strengthen regional development planning which incorporates a DRRperspective,disasterriskresearchandmappingshavebeenconductedin34provincesand170districts/cities.The researchandmappingsare synthesis fromotherdisastermapsthatincludehazardmaps,vulnerabilitymapsandcapacitymaps.Thesemapsareusedasthebasisofdisastermitigationstrategiesdevelopment,whicharedevelopedintodisasterpreventionplans(RPB)in34Provincesand118districts/cities.RPBsconsistsof:(a)Disasterprevention,(b)Educationandtraining,(c)Disastermanagementplanning,(d) Disaster risk reduction, (e) Technical standards for disastermanagement, and (f)Disaster risk analysis. The 2015-2019 RPJMN targets the completion of RPBs in anadditional18districts/citiesin2019.
Decreasingthelevelofdisastersvulnerability.Theeffortsinreducingthelevelof vulnerability to disasters were carried out through the establishment of TangguhBencanaVillagein594villagesin186districts/cities.TangguhBencanaVillageisavillagethat has a capability to adapt and deal with the threat of disasters and recoverimmediately from the adverse effects of disasters.

Strengthening the capacity of the government, regional government andcommunities in disaster management. There are 34 provincial BPBDs and 498districts/citiesBPBDsthroughoutIndonesia.Inordertoimprovetheimplementationofdisastermanagement, especiallyDRR, theGovernment continuously supports capacitybuildingonregionaldisastermanagement througheducationandtraining forregionalgovernmentofficialsincollaborationwiththeTrainingAgencyinallprovinces,formingandtrainingRapidResponseTeamsin34provincesand136districts/cities,providingtechnical guidance in damage assessment and recovery planning and communityresiliencebuildingforabetterandmoresustainableeconomyinthepost-disasterareas.

Toimprovedisastermanagementcapacity,theGovernmentalsoprovidessupportfor local governments and communities in improving disaster awareness culture andpreparedness in facing disasters. This support includes disaster relief equipmentdistributed to the districts/cities level, logistical assistance for basic needs, logisticalsupportandequipmentassistanceduringdisasters.Tobuildacultureofawareness,theGovernmenthasalsoprovidedinformationsystemassistanceintegratedwithoperationalcontrolcenters(Pusdalops)in30provincesand104districts/cities,disasterawarenessculture campaigns, and disaster management public relations services throughoutIndonesia.
Increasing climate resilience through climate change adaptationprograms.Referringtothe2010IndonesiaClimateChangeSectorRoadmap(ICCSR)andthe2015-2019RPJMN there are 15pilot areas for theNationalActionPlan for ClimateChangeAdaptation(RAN-API),namelyBali,EastJava,NorthSumatra,SouthSumatra,WestJava,WestNusaTenggara,MalangCity,MalangDistrict,Lombok,BandarLampung,Batu,Blitar,Pekalongan, Semarang and Tarakan. All of the pilot areas have different vulnerabilitysectors according to the conditions of their respective regions. These sectors includeagriculture, water, health, marine and fisheries sectors. There have been manyachievementsandgreatprogresson theRAN-APIactivities in theaspectsof research,educationorcapacitybuilding,aswellasthedevelopmentofinfrastructureforclimatechangeadaptation.

ChallengesandLearning:
1. The need to improve advocacy capacity for community groups to guard IntegratedRiskManagement(PRT)Villagesinformulationofvillagedevelopmentplans
IFRC PfR has collaborated with a number of organizations to introduce maritime weatherforecast information and forecast fishing areas to coastal communities. Information aboutforecastsofwaveheight,directionandspeedwindsandcurrents,conditionsofclouds(bright,cloudyorrain)forthenextsevendaysisavailableontheBMKGwebsite.However,thecoastalcommunities have no skills to acquire and disseminate this information for their safety offishing, transportation, tourism and marine cultivation. The available information is onlygeneralweather informationon land, suchas temperature,humidityandrainopportunitiesthatisroutinelyconveyedbythegovernmenttothemassmedia(television,radio).Insteadofmaritimeweather information, the forecast of fishing areas (PDPI) is also available on theMinistryofMaritimeAffairsandFisherieswebsite.Itcanbeusefulforfishermen.

SDG target 13.1 is comprised of strengthening resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters, and indicators 13.1.3 covers the integration of localgovernmentDRRstrategiesandpoliciesacrossallsectors.Giventheimpactsofdroughtontheagriculturesectorin2015,thelocalgovernmentinEastNusaTenggara(NTT)andWestNusaTenggara(NTB)ProvinceshaveadoptedandimplementedCAprogramstoenablethefarmersto face the extreme climate conditions. The programs have also been taken up by the localgovernmentsofSouthSulawesi,CentralSulawesi,andGorontaloProvinces.
SDG target 13.2 refers to integration of climate change measures into national policies,strategiesandplanning.InNTTandNTBprovinces,thelocalgovernmenthasmadeastrongcommitment to implement CA by integrating it to the local mid-term development plan(RPJMD) and allocating funds from their budgets. Following the success of the 2015-2018program,NTBhasallocatedIDR5billionto100farmergroupsin10districtsin2019,whileNTBhasallocatedIDR6billionperyearsince2016.Also,thelocalgovernmentofTimorTengah

B. Challenges
a. Minimum attention to the characteristics of multi-disaster threats indevelopmentgrowthandequity
Animportantpartofriskreductionanddisastermitigationistheunderstandingofthedisasterandsocialcharacteristicsoftheregion.Eachrespectiveregionhasdifferenttypesofdisasterhazards.Someareasarevulnerabletofloods,droughtsandotherhydro-meteorologicaldisasters.Mostareasarevulnerabletoseveralcombinationsofvariousdisasterhazards.Theinfluenceofhazardsanddamagethatmayarisedependsonthreefactors,suchashazards,vulnerabilityandinstitutionalcapacityoftheregion.IntheWorldRiskReport(2016),Indonesiaiscategorizedasacountrywithahighdisasterrisklevelduetohighlevelsofexposureandvulnerabilitytodisasters.Infact,almost75percentofindustrial infrastructure and basic connectivity in Indonesia, including its supportingfacilitiesarebuiltinhazardzones.
Indonesia's population is projected to reach 305 million by 2035.

Projection-basedinvestmentforriskreductionisneededtoreducethegeneralimpactofdisastersandtobringmanyadditionalbenefitstothenationaleconomyandsociety.
b. Thelackofadisaster-preparednessculture
Preparedness in dealingwith disasters has not been embodied in the culture ofIndonesianpeople.The resultsof apreparedness index studyofdistricts andcities inIndonesiain2012showedthatcommunityandlocalgovernmentpreparednesswasstilllow. In2004, theAcehearthquakeandtsunamipropelledthegovernmentto issuethe2007DisasterManagementActandchangedtheparadigmofaddressingdisasterstobemore proactive, preventive, and emphasized preparedness and risk reduction. Someregionscurrentlyalreadyhavedisastermanagementregulations.However,governmentpreparedness and the legislation alone are not enough. The disaster awareness andpreparedness of the community and all stakeholders needs to be increased. Thepreparednessindealingwithdisastersshouldbecomeapartoftheculture,aprocessofforming a resilient society in facing disasters. This process is long and continuous,transcendinggenerations.DRRmustbeinvestedinallsectorsofdevelopment.

c. Suboptimalrecoveryofcriticalland
Therehabilitationof forestand landtorecoverthecritical landwithinthe forestmanagementunits (KPH) andwatershed (DAS)haveonlymet 35%of the2015-2019targetof5.5millionha.Thisisduetotheproblemofrightsandstatusofthecriticalland,aswell as the lack of optimal control of space utilization around thewatershed. ThisconditionisachallengeforIndonesiatobeabletoachievetheGHGemissionreductiontarget,takingintoaccountthatthelandandenergysectoristhemaincontributorinGHGemissions.Futureconservationeffortsandforestandlandrehabilitationprogramsareexpected to resolve issues regarding critical lands. However, this programmust firstclarifystatusoflandandobtainsufficientfunding.
e. Theinefficientuseofnaturalresourcesandtheproblemofwastegeneration
As a country which relies on the commodity and natural resources sector,Indonesia'seconomicgrowthispredictedtobeweakenedandhamperedifthedepletionofnaturalresourcesanddegradationofenvironmentalqualitycontinues.Forexample,Indonesia's forest cover continues to decrease every year. The average rate ofdeforestation that occurred during 1990-2017 reached 1 million hectares per year.Although the rate of deforestation has fallen to 480 thousand hectares in 2017, thereduction in land cover will continue due to the forces driving development. Theproportionofareaslackingwaterisalsoincreasing,especiallyontheislandofJava,wherethe ideal habitat for endangered species also continues todecrease. Thedevelopmentapproach that emphasizes the analysis of SDALH's and the efficient use of naturalresourcesmustbecomethemainpolicytosupportsustainabledevelopmentgoalsintheeconomic,socialandenvironmentalsectors.
In addition, the handling of pollutant sources has also been suboptimal. ThehandlingofdomesticwasteisstillbelowtheRPJMNtarget,onlyamountingto84.73%ofthe16.7milliontons/yeartarget,withwastereductiononlyamountingto31.1%ofthe4.5 million tons/year target.

In addition to causing environmental pollution, thisconditionhasalsoresultedinseriousdisruptiontomarinelife.

4.1.5 Goal16.Peace,JusticeandStrongInstitutions
Indonesia’s commitment is to prioritize equality and access to justice as animportant part of governance. This is in line with the Nawacita - nine developmentpriority programs and the government's vision to implement "Strong, Inclusive andSustainableDevelopment"asstatedinthe2015–2019RPJMN.
ForIndonesia,implementingGoal16doesnotonlyfulfilllegalobligationsandnobleideas,butalsoplaysaimpontantroleinreducingpoverty,buildinghumanresourcesandeconomicgrowth.TheConstitutionofIndonesiaclearlydescribestheeffortstopromotepeacefulsocieties,providingaccesstojusticeforall,andbuildingeffective,accountableand inclusive institutions and are, reiterated by our laws, and declared in multipleinternationalandregionalcommitmentswehavesigned.Goal16inspiresmanyparties,becauseallagreethatdevelopmentisnotpossibleduringconflictandcannotreachthe

Asaresponsetothis,longbeforetheconceptualizationofGoal16started,Indonesiahas launched and has been implementing the national strategy on Access to Justice(StrategiNasionalAksespadaKeadilan,SNAK)and lateramendin2013,andLegalAidLaw No. 16 year 2011. One of SNAK’s goal is the equal and fair distribution ofdevelopment.Thispolicyacknowledgestheneedofcourtsystemreformtoachieveanequaljusticeforallandshowsthateconomicgrowthisnotonlyreflectedbyreductionofpovertyandsocialinequality.Inaddition,equalitywillnotbeachievedintheabsenceofinclusiveandhumanrights-baseddevelopment.
The implementationofLegalAidLaw isa transformationalprocesswithvariousachievementforthelasteightyears.Therefore,manylegalaidaccesseswhichpreviouslyorganized by non-state actors is now strengthened by the Law into a collaborationbetween the government and non-state actors. Through this collaboration, non-statesactorhasbeeninvolvedbythegovernmenttoprovidelitigationandnon-ligationlegalaid.Besidestosupporttheimplementationoflegalaidforpoorandvulnerablepeopleseekingfor justice.

The exceptionally progressive development of Access to Justice Index was initiated byConsortium Access to Justice consisting members from the Access to Justice Consortiumconsisting of Indonesian Judicial Monitoring Society (MaPPI FHUI), Indonesian LegalRoundtable (ILR) and Indonesia Legal Aid Foundation (Yayasan Lembaga Bantuan HukumIndonesia, YLBHI). The interesting thing is, the development of this index has also involvedsomegovernmentinstitutions;MinistryofNationalDevelopmentPlaning,MinistryofLawandHumanRights,andCentralBureauStatistics.Thiscollaborationisasignthatthegovernmentandnon-governmenthavethesameinteresttobringjusticetoallparties.

3. BirthCertificate
The state is obligated to implement the equal justice principles for each and allcitizens,andnotmerelyforanindividualwhoarefacinglegalissues.Legalidentityisasign for the recognition and basic protection of a human existence, granted from theofficialbirthregistration.
Childrenwithbirthcertificationhavegreateraccessofbasicserviceswhichplayingabigroleonthefurtherqualityoflife,namelyeducation,decentwork,accesstohealthandsocialassistanceforthewelfare.TobeeligibleforNationalHealthInsurance(JaminanKesehatanNasional,JKN),apersonmustbedocumentedinFamilyCard(KartuKeluarga,KK)whichlinkedtothebirthcertification.Thebirthcertificationisalsoarequirementtoacquire the National Identity Card (Kartu Tanda Penduduk, KTP) to ensure a greateraccesstogovernmentsocialassistance.Female-headedhouseholdswithKTParemorelikelytoreceivesocialassistancecomparedtothosewithoutKTP.
Intheyear2018,83.55%children(aged0-17)(StatisticsIndonesia)werereportedtohaveabirthcertificateandthegovernmentisconfidentthatthe85%targetbyendof2019setinthemid-termdevelopmentplan(RPJMN)willbeachieved.Forthepopulationof children living in the poorest households or the bottom two quintiles (the poorest40%), thebirthcertificatecoveragehasbeensurpassed the201877%target (77.4%)(Figure84)
IndonesianGovernment is tryingtoreachtheyoungerpopulationduetothe lowpercentage of birth certificate coverage for children under five years old (71.92% in2018). Thisnumber showa slowprocessof legal identitydocumentation for childrenunder five years old, compared to other age groups. This indicate the inequality onimmediatedocumentationafterbirth,specifically forchildrenunder5yearsold inthepooresthousehold(64.45%).Effortstowidenthescopeofimmediatedocumentationofbirthregistrationandlegalidentityforallcitizenremainsagovernmentpriorityfor2020-2024.Inresponsetothis,IndonesianGovernmentisstillworkingondocumentingallthebirthcertificationandgrantinglegalidentitytoallandeachindividualunderthepriorityactivities of Citizen Administrative System and Civil Registration (Sistem AdminitrasiKependudukandanPencatatanSipil,SAKPS).
Among children aged 0 – 17, there is the increasing number of birth certificatecoverageforthepastfiveyearsfrom77.71%(2014)to83.55%(2018),thisraiseishigherthan children from poor households, from 68.9% in 2014 to 77.4% in 2018. Birthdocumentationafterbirthhasrisenamongchildrenunderfiveyearsoldfrom71.23%in2014to71.92%in2018(StatisticsIndonesia)
Otherthanthat,rregionaldisparityisalsoofaconcernofIndonesianGovernmentin providing access to the registration of birth certificate. Indonesia’s population datamanagement system (Sistem Informasi Administrasi Kependudukan, SIAK) shows thatbirthcertificatecoveragein24of34(over70%)provincesinIndonesiaisstillbelow85%(SIAK,perAugust2018forchildren0–18yearsold).Apartfromthis,theprovincesintheeasternpartofthecountryfacedthebiggestchallenges.Papua(47.62%),WestPapua(51.2%),Maluku(61.92%),EastNusaTenggara(70.76%),andNorthMaluku(76.82%).
Democracy and individual freedom are conditions to realize a peaceful society,while discriminatory practices against vulnerable groups can hinder inclusivedevelopment.

4. IndonesianDemocracyIndex(IDI)
As the third biggest democracy in the world, Indonesia is highly committed torealizingdemocracyandtorespectindividualfreedom,aswellastoenforcethelawandnon-discriminative practices, especially towards vulnerable groups to achieve aninclusivedevelopment.
IndonesiaestablishtheIndonesianDemocracyIndex(IDI)since2009,andprovince-based democracy has been developed since 2010. Indonesia Democracy Index scored72.11andcategorized“Moderate” in2017,comparedto2016scoreof70.09(increase2.2).
ThisIDInumberwasmeasuredusingthreeaspects;DemocraticInstitutionIndex,CivilLibertyIndexandPoliticalRightsIndex.Eachaspectconsistsofvariablesandeachvariable contains indicators. The increase number of IDI indicated the dynamic ofIndonesia’s democracy. Civil Liberty Index influenced by various indicator such asfreedom of speech or expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of association,freedomofbelief,andfreedomofdiscrimination. ThedecreaseofPoliticalRightIndexsignificantlyinfluencedbyindicatoronviolencedemonstrationsorstrikes.Theincreaseof Democratic Institution Index affected by the improvement of Regional’s House ofRepresentative(DPRD),politicalparties,andregionalgovernmentbureaucracy.
Good governance and strong institutions have been evident as fundamentalenablersofsustainabledevelopment.Bydefinition,governancecanmeanallprocessesofdeveloping and implementing laws and policies.

In2017,theIPAKshowmodestimprovementfrom3.59(2015)to3.17(2017),thendeclined to 3.66 (2018). A higher score means higher intolerance towards corruptpractices.
Corruption remains one of the biggest challenges in Indonesia, impedingdevelopment and poverty reduction, the country’s economic potential and instigatinginjusticesduetoafewinpowergreatlybenefittingovertheunrealizedrightsofmany.Casesofcorruptionoccurredinawidespectrumofpublicandprivatesectors,affectingthe Indonesian judicial system, national police, public services, natural resourcesbusinesses,legislation,andcustomsaswellaslandandtaxadministrations.
Despiteallthechallenges,thereis increasingoptimismstranslatedintheformofstronger laws,sounderpolicies,consistentenforcements,and improvedpublic trust.Arecentrise inpublictrustwasduetothecontributionsoftheNationalCommissiononCorruption Eradication (KPK), open government practices demonstrated by emergingleaders within the government, both at national and subnational level, the strongerpresence of ombudsman institutions including at the subnational level, and themorestreamlinedprocessesinfewgovernmentdocumentapplications.
2. GoodGovernancePractices
To strengthen management and prevention of corruption, the IndonesianGovernmentimplementedatechnology-basedsystemofprocurement(e-procurement).Inrelationtothat,morethanathird(39.6%)ofpublicprocurementinIndonesiaalreadyusede-procurementproceduresin2018.However,thisachievementwasstillfarfromthetargetof60-70%utilization.ACSISstudyindicatesthatlocalgovernmentprocurementisoneofthekeyareasinneedofareform.Thestudyfound56%oftherespondentsbelievethatcorruptioniswidespreadingovernmentprocurementprocesses.

Thisincludes data management of fixed assets; list of land-fixed assets, buildings andproperties;returnofprocurementtosubnationaltreasury(BPK,2018).
Good governance is also demonstrated the accessibility of public services andinformationbythepublic.Intheareaofpublicservice,theIndonesianOmbudsmanhasbeenconsistentlyassessingthegovernmentinstitutions’compliancewiththestandardset inLawNo.25Year2009onPublicService.Thisassessmentaimstoacceleratetheimprovement of quality of the National Bureaucracy Reform (Reformasi BirokrasiNasional,RBN).The fulfillmentofpublicservicesalsoencouragesgoodadministrationandsupportsthepreventionanderadicationofcorruption.

Since2008,IndonesiahasbecomeoneofthecountriesthatguaranteespublicaccesstoinformationthroughLawNo.14Year2008onPublicInformationTransparency.Afreeandindependentpressisoneofthepillarsofdemocracy.IntheIndexofPressFreedomreleasedin2014bytheIndonesianPressCouncil,Indonesianpresshavefreedomfromfeartoplaytheirroleindeliveringinformation.IndonesianpressfreedomisclassifiedasmoderatelyfreebytheIndonesianPressCouncilin2018.EventhoughpressfreedominIndonesiaisbecomingstrongerandmoremeaningful,andbetterinstitutionalizationofpublic information, however some issues still need to be addressed, among other thepressindependency,pressprofessionalismandaccountabilitytowardsthepublic,pressphysicalandnon-physicalabuse.

4. WomenParticipation
Inclusive development is actualized through public participation, particularlywomen.Inthiscase,theGovernmentcontinuestoincreasetheparticipationofwomenaspolicy-makers.Therewere14.43%ofwomeninseniorpositionand13.06%inmid-levelpositioninbureaucraciesin2018.AccordingtoWomeninBureaucracySurveyconducted

by the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KementerianPemberdayaanPerempuandanPerlindunganAnak,KPPPA),gender-responsivepolicieshavestrengthenedintheareaofpolicy-makersandwomen’sgroups.However,itisyettobe fully internalized in the bureaucracy system. The previous competency-basedparadigmwasnot able to address the gap inproportionbetweenmenandwomen inbureaucracy.Thus,anewequality-basedparadigmwasneededtoaddressthe issueofdoubleburdeninwomen.
Meanwhile, the low percentage of women participations as legislatorsremainsaconcern,evenwiththequotasystemsetbythelaw.ThepercentageofwomenparliamentarymembersorlegislatorsinthenationalandsubnationalHouseofRepresentativeswasrecordedin2014tobeat16.6%forthenationallevel(DPRRI),16%for theprovincial level (DPRD),and14%for thedistrict/municipallevel(DPRD)(KPU).
Due to the lackofwillingnessofpoliticalparties toaffirm women candidates,according to the Law, there is a requirement of 30% quota for women to run forParliamentforeachpoliticalparty.TheNationalElectionCommission(KPU)hasrecordedalmost50%increaseofwomencandidatesfrom2014to2019(2.467womento3.194).Outof14politicalparties,thereare4politicalpartiesthathavenominatedthehighestnumbers of women candidates. In addition, political parties still need to implementcapacity building programs to enhance the quality of legislators including womenlegislators.

On the other hand, there are still some challenges faced, including changes in mindset ofcommunity that the regulationmaking is government's obligation, not the community. Thegovernment thinks that the participation is already represented by village officials. lessonlearned from the program that has been implemented is that regulation is important if ittouchesontheeconomicinterestsandthecommunityneeds,forexampleincreasingVillageOriginalIncome(PendapatanAsliDaerahDesa,PADDesa),suchastheregulationofcleanwatermanagement by Village Owned Company (Badan usaha Milik Desa, Bumdes) or villageregulationrelatedtoCSR.Goingforward,itisexpectedthatvillageregulationcanbereplicatedinareasthathavethesamepotentialinmanagingtheirnaturalresources(cleanwater,CSR).

B. Challenges
Indonesia has internalized credo, “what can bemeasured, can be done”. In otherwords,thedevelopmentisaccountablewhendesignedandevaluatedbydata.Paralleltothis, what is hard to measure becomes a hidden challenge leading to undetectedinequality.Equalandinclusivedevelopmentareimpossibletorealizewhenpeopleareexcluded, and matters are statistically undetected. Thus, Indonesia’s commitment tostrengthened evidence-based governance and improved the way to identifyunmeasurable information.

4.1.6 Goal17.PartnershipfortheGoals
SustainableDevelopmentGoalsareaglobalcall,transmittedlocallyintopoliciesand actions, then accentuated through resource mobilization and stakeholderparticipation. Indonesia is in its pathway to achieve SDGs. The country mobilizesresources and invests the resources in productive physical infrastructure; afterward,capitalizes those assets to build cooperative interactions—among its domesticstakeholders,andwithglobalpartners-totranslatetheglobalcommitmentintoreality.
89), increases consistently from Rp835 trillion (2013), to Rp1,013 trillion (2015),Rp1,103trillion(2017),thenRp1,251trillion(2018).Thisisanimportantachievementknowing that another revenue source, namely non-tax revenue (‘Penerimaan NegaraBukan-Pajak’,PNBP),duetoanincreaseinglobaluncertainty,doesnotplayasimilarlevelofrole—onlyabout15-20%oftotalgovernmentrevenue.
Nevertheless, there is a challenge to increase tax revenueharmonicallywith theincreasing GDP. An increase in GDP is not yet optimally followed by a proportionalincreaseintaxrevenue.Astheconsequence,thetax-to-GDPratiofluctuatesaround11.3%(2013), 10.8% (2015), 9.9% (2017), and 10.2% (2018). Even, compared with theachievementofneighboringcountries(Figure90),the2018ratioof10.2%isthelowestIndonesia’sachievementintheSouth-EastAsiaregion—thePhilippine(13.7%),Malaysia(13.8%),Singapura(14.3%),Cambodia(15.3%),andThailand(15.7%).
Thissituationisclearlymirroredinthecountrytaxbuoyancy—ameasurementoftaxefficiencyandresponsetoGDPgrowth.Differentfromthesituationin2012wherethetaxbuoyancywasabout1.22,in2013thetaxbuoyancyreachedatonly0.89.ThismeansthatonepercentGDPgrowth thatpreviouslywasable to liftup tax revenueof1.22%decreasedto0.89%.Inthreeyearsafter,theindicatordidnotshowanyprogress.Even,in2014,thetaxbuoyancydroppedto0.63.Later,intwoconsecutiveyearsof2016and2017,thetaxbuoyancydecreasedevendeeperto0.48.
Several factors explain the situation. From the external side, pressures tocommoditypriceshave affectednegatively the sizeof tax revenue. Sourcesofnon-taxrevenuecannotbemobilizedyetknowingthatthecrudeoilpriceisalsounderpressure.From the internal side, albeit tax administration and management have significantlyimproved, taxcomplianceandtaxcoveragearestillseriouschallengesthatneedmoreeffortstoimprove.
2. Non-OilandGasExport
WhilemoreeffortsareneededtoimprovetheratiooftaxtoGDP,similareffortsarealso required to increase the performance of non-oil and gas export. This is becauseduring2012-2015theexportgrowthdidnotperformwellasindicatedbythenegativeratesof2-10%(Figure91).Theserateswerefarbelowtheonesachievedin2010withthe growth rate of 33.1%and in 2011with 24.9%.The combination of relatively lowproductivityandlimitedefficiencyintheinternalsideandcommoditypricepressuresintheexternalsideexplainthepoorexportperformanceintheperiod.
Nevertheless, initialsignsofrecoveryappear intheexportperformance.Albeit itdoesnotreturnthesituationbacktotheonein2010-2011,thepositivegrowthratesofnon-oil and gas export have been performed in the last three years. A special note,however,isneededhere.Thepositivegrowthratesarestillerratic,namely0.2%(2016),15.9% (2017), and6.4% (2018).This indicates that external uncertaintydoesnot yetdissolve; even, it is not impossible if it would continue in the coming years. Externalstrategies are certainly required through, for example, market diversification andexpansion.Variationinexportproductofnon-oilandgasis importanttobeexpanded,whilenewmarketsneedtoalsobeexplored.Therefore,asoundpolicyagendaforexportimprovement—evenfortheoverallinternationaltrade—isundoubtedlyneeded.
Inorder todevelopexportmarkets in tradingpartnercountries, Indonesia takesthree important measures. First, ratifying international trade agreements; second,conductingtrademissions;third,organizing‘TradeExpoIndonesia’(TEI).RatificationisaformofbindingstatementofIndonesiatointernationalagreement.TrademissionisanefforttomeetinternationalpotentialbuyersandIndonesiaexporters.Meanwhile,TEIisanannualexhibitionandbusinessmeetingamongvariousindustriesandcountriesheldinIndonesia.
During 2017-2018 Indonesia had been active in various negotiations ofinternationaltradeagreementsandinratificationsoftheagreements.SeveninternationaltradeagreementsthatIndonesiatookactiveactionsare(1)FirstProtocoltoAmendtheASEAN-Australia-NewZealandFTA(AANZ-FTA)Agreement,(2)AgreementonTradeinService under the ASEAN-India FTA (AITISA-FTA), (3) Third Protocol to Amend theAgreementonTradeinGoodsunderASEAN-KoreaFTA(AK-FTA),(4)ProtocoltoAmend
These agreements were followed by two others, namely Indonesia-ChileComprehensive Economic PartnershipAgreement (CEPA) danASEAN-HongKong FTAand InvestmentAgreement.Meanwhile, Indonesia had also signed four regional tradeagreements,namely(1)the10thASEANFrameworkAgreementonServices(AFAS-10),(2)FirstProtocoltoAmendtheASEANTradeinGoodsAgreement(ATIGA),(3)ASEANAgreementonElectronicCommerce,and(4)Indonesia-EuropeanFreeTradeAssociationEconomicComprehensiveAgreement(EFTA-CEPA).
In the sameperiod, Indonesiahadalso conducted trademissions to sixdifferentpartnercountries(2017)and13partnerdifferentcountries(2018).Mostofthecountriesarenon-traditionalIndonesianexportmarkets;thosesituatedinAfrica,MiddleEast,andLatinAmerica.Thesetrademissionshadnotbeenonlyconductedthroughofficialmeetingamong the trade authorities, but also through various business fora and businessmatchings.Forthesepurposes,theIndonesiadelegationtothetrademissionsincludedalsovariousdomesticbusinessactorsfromanumberofindustrialassociations.
Inthemeantime,similaractivitiesarealsodomesticallyheldthroughTEI,regularlydoneinOctober.Theyearsof2017and2018wereconsecutivelythe22ndand23rdTEIevents since its debut in 1985. In those events a series of MOUwith various buyingmissionpartnershadbeensignedtoaccompanytheparallelbusinessforaandbusinessmatching.Moreover, anew interesting stephadalsobeenmadeby conductingexportstart-upcompetition
Itmustberecognized,however,thattheimplementationofnationaldevelopmentagenda and SDGsneeds a big size of fund.Until now tax is still a dominant source ofdevelopment financing. Various efforts have been done to optimize the governmentrevenue.Taxmobilizationhadbeenenactedthrough,amongothers,taxamnestyin2016-2017referringtoLawNo.11Year2016onTaxAmnestyanditstechnicalelaborationinRegulationoftheMinistryofFinance118/PMK.03/2016ontheImplementationofLawNo. 11 Year 2016. The tax amnesty had succeeded to contribute to the governmentrevenueataboutRp135trillion(aboutUS$9billion),mobilizingaroundonemilliontaxpayers—while the contribution of the related program, i.e., repatriation fund, to theoveralleconomyisRp147trillion(aroundUS$10billion).
The revenue mobilization policy is further added by Enactment of GovernmentRegulationinLieuofLaw(‘PeraturanPemerintahPenggantiUndang-Undang’,Perppu)No. 1 Year 2017 on Access to Financial Information for Tax Purposes. The ‘Perppu’overseesaccesstoreceiveandtoobtainfinancialinformationintheimplementationofnational and international tax regulations. Through this regulation the GeneralDirectorateofTaxAffairisauthorizedtoaccessthefinancialinformationoftaxpayers.Theregulationstipulatestheprocedureofreportingfinancialinformation,procedureoffinancial account identification, requirement for document submission, sanctions forfinancialinstitutionsdisobeyingthelaw,informationconfidentiality,andpenaltyfortheauthoritiesdisobeyingthesecrecy.

These regulations demonstrate the commitment of Indonesia to implement theprinciples of banking data openness for international tax affairs, namely ‘AutomaticExchangeofInformation’(AEoI).Thiswasthecontinuationofthepriorcommitmenttoexchangedataagreedin‘GlobalForumonTransparencyandExchangeofInformationforTaxPurposes2015’.Furtherfollowedbyanotheractionin2017,afteralmost20yearsplayingaroleasanobserver, Indonesiabecamethememberof ‘FinancialActionTaskForce(FATF)onMoneyLaundering’.Throughthismembership,theactiveparticipationofIndonesiaisexpectedtosuppressthedomestic-internationalflowsofillicitmoneyviavarious cooperation international mechanism—convention ratification, informationexchange,costumerduediligence,financialintelligence,etc.
3. Tariff
Anotherimportantinternationaltradepolicythatalsoneedsanattentionistariffdetermination.Tariffcouldcontributetothegovernmentrevenueandprotectthecountrydomestic industry.Tariffalsoaddresses tradedistortiondue to, forexample,dumpingstrategy—commonly known as ‘punitive tariff’. Nevertheless, tariff could play as thebarrier for international trade flows. Therefore, a consistent evaluation on tariff isimportanttodo.
Tariffhasbecomeoneofimportantissuesininternationaltradeduetoitsrolesininternational price formation and its transmission into domestic market. Tariffnegotiation isgenerallyapartof theoverall international tradenegotiation.However,tariffdetermination isnotmerelyabout tradeof finalgoods.This isbecausetherearevariousinterconnectedindustrialproductsthatplayasintermediategoodsbetweentherawmaterials and final goods. In this context, a complete observation prior to tariffdetermination is needed and the tariff to the goods with such characteristics can beproportionallycharged.AnillustrationcanbegiveninimportofyarnfromIndiatoChinaandfabricsfromChinatoIndonesia.Tariffdeterminationtosuchgoodsneedsanopenandcompleteobservationtoavoidthetradingpartnerstochargeunnecessarytariff.
Between 2017 and 2018 the regional trade negotiations were conducted underRegionalComprehensiveEconomicPartnership(RCEP)danFTA.Albeittherewerenoteasy at all, serial negotiations were kept maintain to comprehend the position andconditionofeachtradedelegationofRCEP-FTA.Inthenegotiationprocesses,anumberofissueshavebeendocumented,includingtariffitems,tariffrates,underlyingfacilities,reduction of barriers, and schedule of implementation. Indonesia-Australia CEPA, forexample,hasrecordedsomesignificantprogresses,eventhetwocountrieshassteppedforwardtothedetailnegotiationlevelontariffrates.
Nevertheless,inotherdevelopment,somenegotiationsarenotcompletelysettled.Onthe2018ASEANHighLevelConference,forinstance,althoughalltradeministriesofRCEP countries—namely10ministers of economic affairs ofASEAN countries and sixministersofeconomicaffairsofFTAcountries(Australia,China,India,Japan,Korea,andNewZealand)—attendedthesession, the flexibilityof thosecountrieswerenoteasilyseen.Thisagainshowsthattradenegotiationisnotaneasytaskasmanyaspectsneedstobeseriouslyconsidered.
4. Remittances
Apartfromexportsofgoodthatgenerateforeignreserves,theIndonesianmigrantworkers could also generate such reserves due to their transferred remittances.Remittancescanbedescribedasfinancialtransferbythemigrantworkers—drawnfromtheirearnings—totherecipientfamiliesinthecountry.Fromthisperspective,transferredremittancescanalsobeseenfromtheperspectiveofresourcemobilization.
Nevertheless, relative to GDP, the size of remittance flows of Indonesiamigrantworkers between 2010 and 2018 did not progressivelymove forward—fluctuating ataround0.8%to1.1%.Therelativeremittanceflowsachievedthehighestlevelin2015,whilethelowestonewasin2017(Figure93).SeveraldeploymentmoratoriumsandbanpoliciesofoverseasIndonesianworkerstosomecountriessince2011moreorlesshadaffected the size of remittance flows. In the years of 2015 and 2018, for instance,moratoriumpolicieshadbeenappliedtoanumberofMiddleEastcountries.
Insuchasituation,anincreaseinremittanceflowscouldonlybemadeiftherewerean improvement in the productivity of Indonesian migrant working in the receivingcountries.Thisimpliesthatthedeploymentofworkerswouldneedtobeselectedtoonlyparticularsectorsthatwouldprovidehighratesofwage.Forthisreason,anincreaseinworkers’ competitivenesswould result inbetter ratesof financial return that, in turn,wouldincreasethesizeofremittanceflowstothecountry.However,aspecialnotethatneedstobegivenhereisthatremittanceflowsareonlyoneofseveralissuesofmigrant
A number of efforts have been done to deal with the issue. The Ministry ofManpowerdevelopsaprogramcalled‘ProgramforProductiveRuralMigrants’(‘ProgramDesaMigranProduktif’,Desmigratif),supportedbythecentralbank,BankIndonesia(BI),knowingtheimportantcontributionoftheworkerstothecountry’sinternationalreserveposition. One of the business models developed by the program is money transfermechanismsusingmobilephonetomobilephone,hosttohost,andagenttoagentthroughcashdepositmachinesandpostofficetopostofficesystems.Astheauthorityofpaymentsystem,theBIsupportssuchabusinessmodeltomakethetransferofremittanceefficient,effective,affordable,andeasy toaccess.This includesalsosupports toreducecostsofcashing-outduetolackofformalcash-outoutletsaffordabletothereceivingfamiliesinthecountry.Furthermore,todevelopmorecash-inoutlets,theBIcooperateswithotherpayment system authorities abroad and builds bilateral corridors of remittance flowsbetweenIndonesiaandthecorrespondingcountries.
Tosupporttheimplementationofsuchbusinessmodel,theBIcoordinatesalsotothe Financial Services Authority (‘Otoritas Jasa Keuangan’, OJK) to make the bankingadministrationprocesseseasierfortheworkers.Thisisimportantfromtheperspectiveoffinancialinclusionandfinancialliteracy,aswellastheformationofnon-cashecosystemintheoverallfamiliesofmigrantworkers.Moreover,takingaformoffinancialtransfer,theremittanceopenstheparticipationoftheworkersandthewholefamiliesinformalfinancialservicesandinstitutions.Forthispurpose,theworkersandthewholefamiliesneed to have bank or electronic accounts.

InformationTechnologyandCommunication
Along with the continuation of financial resource mobilization, Indonesia iscommittedtodevelopagiantnetworkofconnectivityamongthewholepointsacrossthecountry.Apartfromthedevelopmentthroughphysicaltransportationinfrastructure,theconnectivityisalsodevelopedthroughphysicalcommunicationinfrastructure.Thelaterfinds its justification because today is the era of ‘Industry 4.0’ that demands for theexistenceofreliableinformationandcommunicationnetworks.Atthesametime,SDGsalso emphasizes the importanceof ITCas the facility andmedia for achieving targets,sharing the corresponding knowledge, and increasing cooperation among thestakeholders.
Some of important indicators for distribution and utilization of ITC have beendocumented.Theyare(a)nationalopticfibernetwork,(b)broadbandpenetration,and(c)internetusers.Indicators(a)and(b)describethestatusofphysicalcommunicationinfrastructure,whileindicators(c)reflecthowfartheinfrastructureisaccessibletothepeople.Overall,thecountryhasshownsignificantprogressesfromtimetotimeintheseindicators.
1. NationalOpticFiberBackbone
TheNationalOpticFiberBackbone(NOFB)isaphysicalinfrastructureconstructedto support the country’s communication system under a project called ‘Palapa Ring’;targeting about 36,000 kilometer-length optic fiber planted across the country. TheMinistryofCommunicationandInformaticshaddecidedtodistributetheprojecttosevensmallcirclesofopticfiberthroughoutSumatera,Java,Kalimantan,NusaTenggara,Papua,Sulawesi,andMaluku;andonebackhaultoconnectthosecircles.
In general, the construction of NOFB keeps moving toward the target. This isindicatedbyaconsistentincreaseintheindicatorin2015-2018—even,theincreaseisconsideredfast.Intheyearof2015thenetworkconstructionwasstill77.8%.Fouryearslateritapproachedto93%.Thisisanimpressiveachievementsincethecommunicationconnectivityhadtocoveranextremelywideareaofthecountry.Onthebasisofthistrend,in2019thenetworkisexpectedtoreach100%ofthetarget.
Ingeneral,thepenetrationofaccessoffixedbroadbandisstilllimited.However,astimegoes,theincreasingtrendcanbeseen.In2014thepenetrationratewasstill1.33%.Three years later, it could be doubled to 2.41% (2017). Certainly, these levels ofachievementneedtobefurtherboosted.Astheserviceeconomyinthecountrymovesforward,includinginruralareas,thedemandforbroadbandaccesswillbeunavoidable.

3. InternetUsers
Theconstructionofcommunicationinfrastructuredirectlycorrelatestothelevelofitsutilization.Thisisclearlyshowninthejumpofinternetusers.In2010itwasjust17.6%ofpopulationaccessinginternetforvariouspurposes.Inthenextfouryears(2014),thepercent of population using internet had doubled to 35%. This figure even again hadquadrupledinthelastyearcomparedwiththeonein2010.Todayalmosttwo-thirdofthepopulation areno longer isolated from internetworlds.Therefore, it is not surprisingwhentheInternetWorldStats(2019)placesIndonesiaatthetop-5biggestinternetuserovertheglobeafterChina,India,theUSA,andBrazil.
Asmentioned,alltheITCachievementcannotbeseparatedfromthe“PalapaRing’project.Theprojectservesthreewings—thewest,center,andeastwings.Thewestandcenter wings have achieved their targets of 100%, while the east wing is still 89%.Through ‘PalapaRing’ the speedof internet is boosted significantly and the spreadofinternetsignalismoreevenlydistributedtootherareas.Withthisstatusofprogress,the‘PalapaRing’hasopenedpossibilities for thegovernment todevelope-government,e-budgeting, e-planning, and e-procurement. The ‘Palapa Ring’ also strengthensPresidential Instruction (‘Instruksi Presiden’, Inpres) No. 9 Year 2015 on PublicCommunicationManagementwheretheMinistryofCommunicationandInformatics istaskedwithaspecialmandatetocoordinateallpolicydisseminationsofthegovernment.Atthesametime,PRNo.96Year2014onNationalBroadbandPlan2014-2019hadbeenelaborated further into a joined circular letter of theMinistry of Communication andInformaticsandtheMinistryofHomeAffairsonJoinedDevelopmentandUtilizationofPassive Telecommunication Infrastructure. Released in the late December 2018, thecircular letter instructs the sub-national governments to accelerate all efforts ofnarrowingthedistributiongapinbroadbandnetwork.Accordingtotheletter,thepassiveinfrastructureincludesducting,pole,microcell,communicationtower,andtunnel.
In line with the progress above, the Telecommunication and InformationAccessibilityAgency(‘BadanAksesibilitasTelekomunikasidanInformasi’,BAKTI)throughRegulationoftheMinisterofCommunicationandInformaticsNo.3Year2018istaskedwithaspecialtargettoexpandtelecommunicationandinformationaccesstosupportthe‘PalapaRing’.Asapartofuniversalserviceobligation(USO),theagencyexpandsaccessto internet, BTS services, and financial inclusion. On the basis of the RPJMN on‘Developmentfromtheperiphery’,BAKTIisalsotaskedwithamandatetogrownationalconnectivitythroughconstructionoftelecommunicationaccesstothetipsofthecountry.In the meantime, since 2017 the Ministry of Communication and Informatics alsodevelopeddirectpolicycommunicationtothepublicthroughspecialofficersof ‘PublicInformation Communicator’ (‘Penyuluh Informasi Publik’, PIP) as a part of theimplementationgovernmentpublicrelations.
The ITC utilization by the people and the government opens bigger channels ofcommunication anddevelopment coordination. Public access to ITChas increased theparticipationindevelopmentprocess,fromplanning,implementation,tomonitoringandevaluation of development and SDGs. From the perspective of commercial businessdevelopment, ITC increases business productivity, product diversification, marketcompetitiveness,andexpansionofmarketaccess.
DataandStatistics
Information technology has opened a wider possibility for data communication.Datacannotonlybegenerated,transferred,andpresentedfasterinvelocityandbiggerinvolume,butalsowiderinvariation;even,moreaccurateinveracity;therefore,datanowismuchmorevaluable(‘5Vs’).This,however,doesnotapplyonly to theso-called ‘bigdata’context,butalsotothecontextof‘conventionaldata’wherechangestowardthe‘5Vs’areoccurringandgoingtocontinue.InIndonesiatheStatisticsIndonesiaOffice(‘BadanPusatStatistik’,BPS) ismovingtowardthedirection,makingthedataproducedbytheofficeisnowmuchmorereliableforplanning,monitoring,andevaluationpurposes,aswellasfordevelopmentpolicyformulationanddecision.

1. DataUsers
Inthelastthreeyearssince2016thenumberofusersutilizingdatafordevelopmentplanninghasincreasedsignificantly.Eventhoughitwasnotliketheratein2015(63.5%),datauserhadincreasedmorethantwotimessince2016,from20.5%to50.4%(Figure98). This follows the increase in number of users accessingdata through the internet(Figure 99). In the year of 2018, about 2.3 million users accessed to the StatisticsIndonesiadatathroughtheinternettoexplorevariousdataavailableinthewebsite.Thisnumberisanadditionalamountofalmost800thousandusersfromtheoneintheyear2016at about1.5million.Betterquality of physical infrastructureof information andcommunication can explain this progress. At the same time, better quality of datamanagementandservicesbytheStatisticsIndonesia,especiallythewebsite-baseddata,alsoexplainstheprogressofdatautilization.
ImprovementindatamanagementandservicesbytheStatisticsIndonesiahavealsocoloredthedatausersatisfactionofdatausers.Ingeneral,thedatausercommunityfeelssatisfied to the quality of data provided by the Statistics Indonesia, even with anincreasing tendency (Figure 100). In the year of 2016, about 89.3% satisfied to theservices.Ayearlater,theusersatisfactionincreasedto96.61%.Theprogressdoesnotstophereasin2018thefigureclimbedtothelevelof97.74%.
Oneofthedatasourcesregularlyproducingdata,andreferredbytheusers,istheline ministries. This relates to the improvement in the data management of the lineministries,donethroughdeploymentofspecialofficersandstaffresponsibleforit.Forthe lineministries, datamanagement—production andpublication—is not only aboutpubliccommunicationandaccountability,butalsoaboutopenmonitoringandevaluationoftheperformanceofthedevelopmentsectorsundertheircontrolandresponsibility.
2000officersfromtheonein2015with3700officers.Thisdevelopmentisinlinewiththeincreaseinnumberoflineministriesemployingstatisticiansfordataproductionandpublication (Figure 103) certainly improved the supporting organization andinfrastructure. In theyearof2017, itwasonly59%of the total lineministrieshavingprofessionalstatisticians.Ayearafter,itincreasedto67%.
Supportedbybettercapacityofdatamanagement,theStatisticsIndonesianowismorecapableinprovidingvarioustypesofdata.Twomostrecentandimportanteventsare the 2020 Population Census and SDGs data preparation. The census is a regularactivityoftheStatisticsIndonesiaconductedevery10years,whiletheSDGsdatawillbeproduceduntil2030.
Thecountry’spopulationcensushasbeendonesixtimessince1961,whilethelatestcensus was done in 2010. Learning from the experience in the 2010 Census, somebreakthroughs have been created. For example, now some efforts have been done tosynchronizethecensusdataoftheStatisticsIndonesiawithpopulationandcivildataoftheMinistryofHomeAffairs,suchthatbudgetefficiencycanbereached.Theseeffortsareimportanttoreceiveattentionbecausethe2020Censusisestimatedtocoveroverthanaquarterbillionofpopulationlivingacross1905km2ofthecountry’sarea.
Another issueofdataproduction isSDGsdata.TheUN-DESA inMarch2016hadreleased 241 SDGs indicators to translate the 17 goals and 169 targets. Meanwhile,through a series of intensive consultations andwideparticipation, Indonesia had alsopreparedSDGsindicatorsthatevenbiggerinthenumber:320indicators.Categorically,theindicatorsaredividedintothreetypes.First,indicatorsmarkedbyastar(‘*’),meaningthatthenationalindicatorsarepreciselythesameastheglobalones.Second,indicatorsmarkedbyadditionalletter(‘a’, ‘b’,…),representingthenationalproxiesfortheglobalindicators.Third,missingindicatorsduetomissingdefinitionsthatwillbedevelopedinthefuture.

Those-mentioned indicators are documented in the Metadata Indikator TPBIndonesia(2017),dividedintofourgroupsofpillar.First,thePillarforSocialDevelopmentcoveringGoals1,2,3,4,and5.Second,thePillarforEconomicDevelopmentaddressingGoals7,8,9,10,dan17.Third,thePillarforEnvironmentDevelopmentcapturingGoals6,11,12,13,14,dan15.Lastly,thePillarforLawandGovernanceDevelopmentcapturingGoal16.TheMetadatahasbeenpublishedinprintedandelectronicversionsandopenlyaccessibleforthepublic(http://sdgs.bappenas.go.id/dokumen).
Moreover, the Statistics Indonesia also disaggregated further the indicators bygender, age group, disability community, etc. About 48% indicators can be presentedusingthisdisaggregation,whiletherestof52%isnotprovidedindisaggregatedform.Atthesametime,knowingthattheSDGsarealsotheagendaofsub-nationalgovernments,thedataarealsodisaggregatedbyprovinceaswellasdistrictandcity.
The Statistics Indonesia has also put valuable foundation for the country’s SDGsindicators. In 2018, the Statistics Indonesia published Indikator Tujuan PembangunanBerkelanjutan Indonesia (literally, ‘Indonesia’sSDGsIndicators’)which isverymuch inlinewithMetadataIndikatorTPBIndonesiamentionedabove.AstheMetadataprovidesmethodological procedure of SDGs indicatorsmeasurement, the Indikator of StatisticsIndonesiaprovidesthelateststatusoftheSDGsachievement—mostly2015-2017data,butsomereferbackto2012.Thisefforthasitsrootinasimilarreportpublishedin2016,titled Potret Awal Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan di Indonesia (literally, ‘InitialPortrayofSDGsinIndonesia’).Thesenational-levelinitiativeswerethecontinuationtothe one that had been done in 2015 through Kajian Indikator Lintas-sektor: KajianIndikatorSustainableDevelopmentGoals (literally, ‘AnalysisofCross-Sector Indicators:AnalysisofSDGs Indicators’).Thisreportwas the firstanalysisdone in thecountry toidentifyavailabilityofdataandsourcesofdataforSDGsIndonesia.

From this context,South-SouthandTriangularCooperation (‘KerjaSamaSelatan-SelatandanTriangular’,KSST)isseenasacombinedstrategicdiplomacyofdevelopingcountrieswithoutneglectingtheessenceofsolidarityofthemembers.IndonesiahasbeencommittedtoincreasetherolesofKSSTinglobalcooperationasindicatedintheRPJMN2015-2019. This is in line with the implementation of Goal 17of SDGs, namelyrevitalization of global partnership for sustainable development. Through KSST,IndonesiaiscommittedtoassistotherdevelopingcountriesinimplementingSDGsandtoensurethatnooneisleftbehindinthepartnercountries.
Atthesametime,IndonesiahadalsojustreleasedGovernmentRegulation(GR)No.48Year2018onDevelopmentGrantstoForeignGovernmentsandForeignInstitutions.TheregulationprovidesalegalfoundationforIndonesiatobemoreactiveinsupportinginternational development through Indonesia’s development aid. This is an importantmilestoneforthecountrynowofficiallycategorizedasadonorcountryandas‘Southernprovider’ in KSST.

4.2 ProgressofVNR2017and2018
4.2.1 Goal1.NoPoverty
A. TrendAnalysis
ThediscussionofGoal1.NoPovertyisfocusedontheachievementoflowpovertylevel and social protection coverage. SDG1 indicators include: (1) level of extremepoverty, (2) percentage of population living below national poverty line, and (3)proportionof householdswith theFamilyHopeProgram/Conditional CashAssistancerecipients.Variousidentifiedchallengesandpoliciestoovercomethepovertyissuesareoutlinedbelow.
Toacceleratepovertyreduction,anintegratedstructuringofsocialassistancewasinitiatedwhich includes theFamilyHopeProgram(ProgramKeluargaHarapan/PKH -Conditional Cash Assistance). In order to ensure that families with the lowest socio-economic status have access to basic services like education and health, in 2018, thecoverageofPKHrecipientswasincreasedto10millionpoorfamilieswithbudgetofIDR17.42Trillion.
Themainchallengeistheslowdownofpovertyreduction.Thelowerthepovertylevel, the more chronic poverty challenges, thus innovation and new strategies areneeded. The reduction in poverty is carried out through twomain strategies, namelydecreasingcostsandincreasingincome.Thestrategytoreducetheburdenofexpenditure

C. TheWayForward
Based on the Government AnnualWork Plan Document, the policy directive forpoverty reduction in 2019 and beyond, apart from macro policies support thatencourages an inclusive economy, a stable inflation rate is maintained to createproductiveemployment.Thoseeffortsalsoneedtobesupportedbyaffirmativepoliciesinseveralpolicydirective,including:(1)thedevelopmentofdigitalizationandintegrationofsocialassistancedistribution,suchasNon-CashFoodAssistance(BantuanPanganNon-Tunai/BPNT), educational assistance for poor students and targeted subsidies; (2)strengtheningthecomprehensiveandintegratednationalsocialsecuritysystem(SJSN)forhealthandemploymenttoprotectthepoorandvulnerablefromsocialoreconomicshocks;(3)strengtheningthesocialprotectionsystemforcertaingroupssuchaspeoplewithdisabilitiesandelderlypeoplewhoarevulnerable topoverty; (4) Integrating theunifieddatabase (UDB)withpopulationbasedataandBPJSKesehatan to improve thetarget of government assistance; (5) Development of activities to increase economicindependence and income for the poor and vulnerable groups, including throughstrengthening of family economy; business intermediation and social impact; andstructuringoftenureandlandusethroughtheimplementationofagrarianreformandsocialforestry.

Early marriage practice is prevalent in Indonesia. However, the percentage ofwomenat20-24yearsofagewhoweremarriedforthefirsttimeatorbefore15yearsoldandatorbefore18yearsolddeclinedfortheperiodof2011-2015.Butthepracticeofchildmarriageincreasedsince2016until2018.
The decrease of childmarriage prevalence has an impact on the increase of themedianageatfirstmarriage.Themedianageatfirstmarriageofwomen25-49yearsoldwhowereevermarried,increasedfrom17.1yearsoldin1991to21.8yearsoldin2017.
The proportion of seats held by women in House of Representatives (DewanPerwakilan Rakyat/DPR) at the national level tend to increase, yet fluctuate. TherepresentationofwomenatDPRinthe2004generalelectionwas11.84%andincreasedto17.86%in2009.However,itdecreasedslightlyto17.32%inthe2014generalelection.
In addition, each province are allocated four Regional Representative Councils(DewanPerwakilanDaerah/DPD)members.

The discussion of Goal 11 in Indonesia is focused in making cities and humansettlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, with indicator proportion ofhouseholdswithaccesstoadequateandaffordablehousing.
A. TrendAnalysisa. AccesstoAdequateHousing
Proportion of households with access to adequate housing has improved from34.24%in2015to38.30%in2018.Theachievementwasmarkedbyanimprovementinfour components of the house adequacy assessment, namely: size of house, housedurability,accesstowaterandaccesstoadequatesanitation.

4.2.9 Goal12.ResponsibleConsumptionandProduction
The discussion of Goal 12 in Indonesia is focused on the implementation ofsustainable consumption andproductionpatterns in Indonesia,which ismeasuredbyseveral indicators, such as: (1) the number of “Proper” participants who achieve aminimumbluerank;and(2)thenumberofcompaniesthatapplySNIcertificationofISO14001.
A. TrendAndAnalysis
a) ProperProgram
Thecompanyperformanceratingprogram(Proper)isaprogramtoassessthelevelof company’s role in environmental management. There are five Proper categories,namelyGold,Green,Blue,RedandBlack,whichare inorderofcompanyperformancefromthebest/consistent to the lowest.During theperiodof2002-2016 therewas animprovement of the proportion of companies that are contributed positively toenvironment, from 60% (2002-2003) to 85% (2015-2016). In the 2015-2016 periodtherewere12companieswiththetitleofGold,172Green,1,422Blue,284Red,whileonly3companiesreceivedtheBlackcategory.
SNI ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed specification in implementingrequirementsforenvironmentalmanagementsystems.Duringtheperiodof2010-2017thenumberof companies in Indonesiawhohave received ISO14001certificationhasincreasedfrom1,028(2010)to2,197companies(2017).
The challenges faced in developing sustainable production and consumptionpatterns are (1) the need for intervention of operational policies regarding theimplementationofthesustainableconsumptionandproduction(SCP)principlesinthebusiness cycles and processes of government, private sector and society, in acomprehensive manner including in terms of funding; (2) the need to eliminate thenegative relations between economic growth, which often drains the quality of

Duringtheperiodof2011-2017,Indonesia'sforestandlandcoverareaexperienceddecline. Nationally, the proportion of forest and land cover decreased from 52.22%(2011)to50.18%(2017).Thisisattributedtovariousfactors,bothhumanactivitiesandnaturaldisasterswhichexertpressureontheareaofforestandlandcoverinIndonesia.
Environmental damage, especially in terrestrial ecosystems was caused by theexistenceoflegalviolationsinthenaturalresourcessectorandtheenvironment,suchasillegallogging,forestandlandfires,illegalmining,andnon-proceduralforestexploitation.Inaddition,theshrinkingoftheidealhabitatforendangeredspeciesonfourmajorislands(Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Sulawesi) was driven by an increase in the area ofmonoculture plantations which increasingly suppress forest cover and can result inincreasedbiodiversitylossifnotimmediatelyaddressed.
C. TheWayForward
Increasedconservation,aswellaspreservationandutilizationofbiodiversity,arecarried out through: (1) increasing conservation of forest resources and forestgovernance;(2)preservationanddevelopmentoftheuseofthebiodiversityeconomy;and (3) increasing the protection and security of forest ecosystems, biodiversity, andgeneticresources.

On gender equality, the view has also changed. It is no longer about womanemancipation, but two folds. First, gender equality–equal rights, opportunities andresponsibilities—isabouthumanrightsandsocialjustice;second,bettergenderequalitymattersforsustainable,people-centered,development.Gender-responsivebudgetingisagood illustration for this view. It has a long root of journey, started fromPresidentialInstructionNo.9Year2000onGenderMainstreamingStrategy,capturedinPRNo.2Year2015 on RPJMN 2015-2019, and instructed in Minister of Finance Regulation94/PMK.02/2017.Thelast-mentionedregulationrelatestogender-responsivebudgetingthatneedstobeincludedintheannualbudgetoflineministries.Betweentheseyearsofissuance of the regulations, there is also another regulation issued by theMinistry ofHome Affairs on the implementation of gender-responsive budgeting at sub-nationallevel.Ontopoftheseregulations,theRPJPN2005-2025hasdocumentedasetofpolicydirectionsonwomenempowerment,namely(1)toimproveofthequalityoflifeandtheroleofwomeninvariousdevelopmentsectors;(2)todecreasethenumberofviolence,exploitationanddiscriminationofwomen;and(3)tostrengtheninstitutionalizationandnetworkofgendermainstreaming.

Issuesonsocialinclusioncanalsobeextendedtoothermarginalgroups,especiallytotheiraccessestosocio-economicresources.Thereareabignumberoffarmerswithnoaccess to land; and there are twoparallel programs to dealwith the issue. First, landcertificationunderagrarianreformprogram;and,second,socialforestryprogram.TheformerisgovernedbytheNationalLandAgency(BadanPertanahanNasional,BPN),whilethelaterbytheMinistryofForestryandEnvironment(KementerianLingkunganHidupdanKehutanan, KLHK). TheAgency has handed over about 40percent of 126millionpiecesoflandcertificatetodistributeduring2017-2019.Atthesametime,theministryhasreleasedahugehectareoflandtobedistributedtothefarmersundersocialforestryprogram.Knowingtheimportanceoflandforthefarmers,thePresidenthimselfareveryactiveinimplementingtheagrarianreformandsocialforestryprograms.
While farmerswithno landnowhaveaccess to land,otherpoorgroupsarealsotargetedtohaveaccesstoaprogramcalled ‘FamilyHopeProgram’(ProgramKeluargaHarapan,PKH),governedbytheMinistryofSocialAffairs.Underthisprogram,eachpoorfamilyreceivesRp1.89million(US$137.40)worthinassistanceeveryyearsince2015.Themoneyisdistributedinfourphasesperyear,thatisRp500,000eachinFebruary,MayandAugust,andRp390,000inNovember.Thefinancialassistanceistransferredtothefamilies’bankaccountsbymembersofthe‘AssociationofState-OwnedBanks’(HimpunanBankNegara,Himbara),whichincludesBankRakyatIndonesia(BRI),BankMandiri,BankNegaraIndonesia(BNI)andBankTabunganNegara(BTN).
b. EconomicPolicies
Economic policies—macro andmicro—are responsible for the progress of SDGsachievementasthepoliciesprovideafavorableenvironmentforeconomicactorstodocommercialbusinesses.Albeit externalpressuresarealmostexogenous to the spanofpolicy control, sound macroeconomic policies—prudent monetary and fiscalmanagement—have been quite successfully formulated and implemented to make astableecosystemfortheeconomytowork.Thereisnodoubtthatexternalpressureshaveserious direct and indirect impacts on the country economy; therefore, a harmonizedcombinationofmonetaryandfiscalpoliciesisalwaysneeded;and,even,hasbecomeastandardintegratedmacroeconomicmanagementofthecountry.
From the monetary side, the central bank has successfully kept the domesticeconomytoadjustwithexternaldynamicsby formulatingBI7-dayReverseRepoRate(BI7DRR), deposit facility, and lending facility at the controlled acceptable rates—subsequently 5-6%, 4-5%, and 6-7%—along with close-monitoring of the country’sbalanceofpayment.Thepolicyhasbecomeanindustrystandardinmonetaryarenatoattract domestic financialmarket, to respond to the deficit of current account, and toadjustwiththerecentandcomingglobalinterestrates.Suchamacropolicy,byandlarge,protectsthewelfareleveloflow-quantileeconomicpopulationtosufferfromtransmittedprice pressures.

Fromthefiscalside,apartfromremarkableincreaseinthegovernmentspendingonphysical infrastructure to speed-up the development of ‘outer island’ of Java, anotherportionofgovernmentexpenditurehasbeendesignedtoboostdomesticconsumptionand provide safety nets for the left-behind groups. The total budget allocated to theconstruction of various infrastructure projects has increases at about 17% per yearduring2015-2018, fromRp256trillion(2015)toRp410trillion(2018).Thisamountincludesthebudgetchanneledthroughsub-nationalgovernmentsastheimplementationoffiscaldecentralization,namelySpecialAllocationFund(‘DanaAlokasiKhusus’,DAK)oninfrastructure, Village Fund (‘Dana Desa’) on infrastructure, and General Transfer(‘Transfer Umum’) on infrastructure. There are still another series of special budgetallocatedtothreespecialprovinces,namelyAceh,Papua,andWestPapua,throughtheso-called‘DanaTambahanInfrastruktur’(AdditionalFundforInfrastructureDevelopment),withan increasingtrend. In2015,AcehprovincesreceivedaboutRp2.1trillion,whilePapua and West Papua provinces received, consecutively, Rp 7.1 trillion and Rp 4.9trillion.In2018,theDanaTambahanInfrastrukturforthreeprovincesincreasedtoRp2.4trillion,Rp8.0trillionandRp5.6trillion,respectivelyforAceh,Papua,andWestPapuaprovinces.

At almost every quarter thegovernmentreleasesthepolicypackagessincetheyearof2015.Nownot lessthan16economic policy packages have been released covering a hugenumber of activities atmicro-economic level. The packages promote industrial competitiveness, businessclimate,lawenforcement,investmentattraction,interestrates,etc.Thepackagesincludealso policies directly addressing equality issues. It is a special credit scheme for SME,calledKreditUsahaRakyat(KUR).Inthepasttime,thecreditwasreleasedwithaninterestrateof22%.NowthepolicysignificantlyreducestheinterestcreditrateforSMEstoonly12%. The KUR also expands the beneficiaries. It is no longer exclusively directed tosupport SMEs, but also designed to benefit Indonesia’s migrant workers under threecategories:thosewhoaregoingtoworkabroad,thosewhoreturnhome,andtheworker’sfamilies. Furthermore, there is also another policy attention to SMEs. Not only is toprovideaccesstofinancialmarket,thepolicyattentiontoSMEsalsomorestrengthenedbyanewGovernmentRegulation(GR)No.23Year2018replacingGRNo.46Year2013.ThenewGRstipulatesthatthetaxratetoSMEsisreducedfrom1%to0.5%ofthetotalsales.

Partnership
a. InnovativeFinancing
Indonesiahasdevelopedawiderangeofnon-traditionalmechanismstomobilizefundsfordevelopment,commonlyknownasinnovativefinancing(IF).FortherelativelybigscaleofIF,someinitiativeshavebeencreated;amongothers,theyincludetheNon-State Budget Investment Financing (‘Pembiayaan Investasi Non-Anggaran Pemerintah’,PINA)andtheGovernmentCooperationwithBusinessEntity(‘KerjaSamaPemerintahdanBadanUsaha,KPBU).ThePINAisaschemeforinfrastructurefinancingfocusingonprojects yielding Internal Rate Return (IRR) above 13%. Under the PINA Centermanagementthatwasestablishedinthebeginningof2017,theschemeisdirectedtonotonlynarrowgap financing,butalso is todevelopa setofvaluablecooperationamonginvestors and investees from domestic and international markets. Utilizing severalfinancial instruments of PINA—pension fund, insurance, state wealth, and strategicinvestment company—Indonesia had facilitated a series of collaborations amonginvestorsandinvesteestofinancevariousprojectssuchastollroad,airport,renewableenergy, and others with a total of investment about USD 2,3 billion. The PINA alsocontributedtopipeliningon33projectssuchasplantation,aviation,tourism,andotherswithaninvestmentofUSD39billion.
The KPBU is another type of infrastructure financing, where the projects arespecifiedtoincludethelineministries,state-ownedenterprises,andlocalgovernments.Untilnow,thereare19projectsunderKPBUscheme.Atthesametime,toenhancethegovernment guarantee and to attract investors, the government established a joined-office of KPBU as one-stop service and became a coordination forum among thestakeholdersofKPBUwhichhassevenmembersoflineministries.Todate,13projectswithvalueaboutUSD8.9billionhadbeenfundedthroughthesolicitedscheme.These13projectsarethepartofNationalStrategicProjects(‘ProyekStrategisNasional’,PSN)thatincludeconstructionoftollroad,energy,telecommunication,andwaterprovision.OneofthesuccessfulstoriesisDrinkingWaterProvisionSystem(‘SistemPenyediaanAirMinum’,SPAM)inUmbulan,EastJava.
Asmentionedabove,PINAandKPBUarebasicallytwocollaborativeprojectsamongvariousconcerned-stakeholders.OneofthestakeholdersisPTSaranaMultiInfrastruktur(SMI)takingapartintotheseprojectsunderaplatformcalled‘SDGIndonesiaOne’.PTSMI is a state-owned enterprise (SOE) mandated to accelerate infrastructuredevelopment and to support the implementation of Public Private Partnership (PPP)schemes. Themandatehas two focuses, namely (1) optimizationof the economic andsocialbenefitsforthecommunities;and(2)supportfortheachievementofSDGsaswellasmitigationoftheclimatechanges.PTSMIisaspecialmissionvehicleoftheMinistryofFinance to generate new sources of development financing. The ‘SDG Indonesia One’integratespublicandprivate funds throughblended financeschemes;channeledthemintoSDGs-relatedinvestmentprojects.
Oneexample to illustrate isgreenbond that refers to the regulationofPOJKNo.51/POJK.03/2017 on the Implementation of Green Financing for Financial Institution,EmittedandPublicCompanyandPOJKNo.60/POJK.04/2017onGreenBondissuedbytheFinancialServiceAuthority(‘OtoritasJasaKeuangan’,OJK)Indonesia.Intheyearof2018,PTSMIhasissuedthefirstgreenbondinIndonesia,called‘SustainableGreenBond

IofSMI’.Thisistoaccompanyanotherbondissuedpreviously,called‘SustainableSukukBondIofSMI’’—anIslamicshari’afinancinginmoneymarket.TogetherwithIslamic-typeof contribution called zakat and wakaf, the green bond and sukuk have formed aninnovative finance lab for the country SDGs. Meanwhile, the Center for SustainableFinance Knowledge-LPPI has delivered sustainable finance materials in “nationalcompulsarytraining”ofbankofficialsandotherrelatedinstitutions.
Furthermore, in theGlobalProgressReportof theSustainableBankingNetwork,Indonesiaisconsideredasoneamongeightcountriesthathasreachedanadvancedstagein having implemented large-scale reforms and put in place systems for resultsmeasurement in sustainable finance. The report positively underscores Indonesia'sFinancialServicesAuthority(OJK)'scomprehensiveSustainableFinanceRoadmap,whichincludes19mediumandlong-termactivitiestobeconductedbetween2015and2024ofallfinancialservicesinsitutionstoimplementsustainablefinance.
AsthemostgenerouscountryaccordingCAFWorldGivingIndex,theeffortsdonotstop here. For example in July 2018, a special book explaining fikih zakat on SDGs(literally,legalbasisforcontributiontoSDGsforMuslim)wasreleasedtothepublic.ThisguidelinewasinitiatedbytheNationalAmilZakatAgency(BAZNAS)incollaborationwithBaznas, IndonesianUlamaMajlis, Indonesian Philanthropy, Islamic StateUniversity ofSyarif Hidayatullah, supported by the Ministry of National Development Planning ofBappenasandtheMinistryofReligiousAffairs.Thisguidelineisconsideredasthefirstattainment in the world of Islamic financing.

b. ClimateAction
Climateactionhasbeeninthepolicydiscoursesforaquitelongtime.ItstartedfromPRNo.61Year2011onGreenhouseGasActionPlanandPRNo.71Year2011onGHGEmission, where special emphasis was given to climate mitigation; to the Bappenas’National Action Plan on Climate Adaptation (2014) on climate adaptation. Under theumbrellaofLawNo.32Year2009onEnvironmentalProtectionandManagement,climateaction is further translated into Government Regulation (GR) No. 46 Year 2016 onStrategicEnvironmentalAssessment(SEA).
AfurtheractionhadalsobeenmadeatthesubnationallevelastheMinisterofHomeAffairs issued MR No. 7 Year 2018 on Implementation of SEA. The MR instructs thesubnationalgovernmentstoincorporateSEAintheirRPJMD.ThisistofollowthepreviousregulationsissuedbytheMinisterofEnvironmentNo.9Year2011andtheMinisterofHomeAffairsissuedMRNo.67Year2012thatinstructthesub-nationalgovernmentstoincorporateSEAintheirspatialplanofRTRW(RencanaTataRuangWilayah).AseriesofstakeholderconsultationshasbeenmadebythesubnationalgovernmentstorespondtoMRNo.7Year2018.TheresultsofconsultationswillbedocumentedintheSubnationalMediumDevelopmentPlans(RPJMD)2018-2023or2019-2024.
The implementationofSEA isnotseparated fromanaccompanyingactioncalled‘LowCarbonDevelopmentInitiatives’(LCDI).Forthefirsttimeinthecountry’shistory,lowcarbonisseriouslytakenintoaccount.Workingwiththesubnationalgovernments,twopilotprojectsarenowbeingimplementedtoserveLCDI.First,theIndonesiaClimateChangeTrustFund(ICCTF)projectinCentralJava.Theprojectcombinesclimateactionwith incomegeneration through investment inbio-digesterswhichproducebio-slurryandcompostthatcouldimprovethequalityofsoilandecosystem.Second,thesigningofsustainable province commitment by the West Papua provincial government onInternational Conference on Biodiversity, Ecotourism and Creative Economy held inManokwari,WestPapua(2018).ThecommitmentwasverymuchinthespiritoftheLCDIandsignifiedaveryauspiciousstarttothecountry.
The number of hotspots in Indonesia has also decreased. Based on observations fromTerra/Aqua(NASA)satellitesin2015therewere70,971hotspotwhilein2018only9,245hotspot.
The number of targeted villages continues to be increased to ensure more accurate earlydetection, rapid response and increased awareness. In 2018, the distribution of integratedpatrolsreached72districts,349sub-districts,1255villagesin8provincespronetoforestfiresinIndonesia.Targetedvillagesareselectedthroughthelevelofvulnerabilityinwhichthedatais closely monitored through satellite images. Patrol is conducted at specific times, inaccordancewithanalysisbytheMeteorologyandGeophysicsAgency.
In parallel, the capacity of the community is also strengthened by encouraging landmanagementwithoutburningandpreventiveeffortsbymaintainingwaterlevelsthroughpeatrestoration.
Indonesiaacknowledgesthatdataisveryimportantfordevelopment.InIndonesiaofficial data is provided by the ‘Statistics Indonesia’ (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS). TosupportSDGs,theBPShasplayeditsroles,bypreparinganddevelopingtheindicatorsrelevanttothecountryandcomparabletotheglobalmeasures.Throughaseriesofdataconsultationsandpublications,therolesarealsoexpanded;notonlytosupportnationalgovernment,butalsosubnationalgovernments.Priortothesesupports,theBPShadalsobeenactiveinanumberofinternationalstatisticalsessions.Amongothers,in2017undertheFrameworkfortheDevelopmentofEnvironmentStatistics(FDES)aserialsessionhadbeenmade inpreparation forpilotecosystem,energy,material flows, land, andwateraccountsasapartofUNSystemSDGsActionDatabase.
Alongwiththe15year-implementationofSDGs(2015-2030),Indonesiawillhavetwo important events, namely population censuses 2020 and 2030 under theresponsibilityofBPS.Thecomingcensuseswillbedifferent fromthepreviousonesasdigital technology has remarkably grown affecting the ways of the data collection.Knowledge has been accumulated and learned from the previous censuses, includingsurveys,thusBPScapacitynowismuchhigher.
In2018theBPSandtheAustralianBureauofStatistics(ABS)hadsignedamilestonefor five-year agreement on a closer co-operation between the two national statisticalagencies.ThenewMoUfocusesnotonlyoneconomicstatistics,butalsosocialstatistics,human resources as a part of the bureaucracy reform process at the BPS, and thepreparation of the 2020 Population Census, as well as IT transformation. The BPS’spositionhasnowchanged.TheBPSisnolongerastherecipientoftechnicalassistancefromtheABSlikeinthepast,buttobeabletoequallycooperate.
TheBPSalsocollaborativelyworkedwiththeUNICEFandBappenastosupporttheirwork indevelopingSDGsBaselineDataonChildren.Theworkwaspublished in2017,underatitle ‘LaporanBaselineSDGtentangAnak-AnakdiIndonesia’(literally, ‘BaselineSDGsReportinIndonesia’sChildren).In2015,workingalsocollaborativelywithUNICEF,BPSpublishedananalysisonchildmarriage.Titled ‘KemajuanyangTertunda:AnalisisDataPerkawinanUsiaAnakdiIndonesia’(‘DelayedProgress:AnalysisonChildMarriageData in Indonesia), the analysiswasmade on basis of the 2008-2012National Socio-EconomicSurvey’(SurveySosial-EkonomiNasional,SUSENAS)andthe‘2010PopulationCensus(SensusPenduduk,SP).

CommunicationTechnology
Albeit thecountryisbigingeographicsize,‘digitalizingthearchipelago’isstilladoablemission. Asmentioned previously, the so-called ‘Palapa Ring’ project connectsabout500districts and cities througha gigantic broadbandnetwork andoffers fastercommunicationservicesthroughoutthecountry.The‘PalapaRing’unitesthearchipelagothroughSubmarineCableCommunicationSystem(SistemKomunikasiKabelLaut’,SKKL)andOpticalFiberCommunicationSystem(SistemKomunikasiSeratOptik,SKSO).Twoofthree regions in the country—the west and the central wings—have already beenconnectedbytheendof2018,whiletheeastwingnowisabout96%achievementfromthe target. ‘Palapa Ring’ also answers the challenge of digital gap in the hinterlandjurisdictionsinthecountry,characterizedbythe‘3Ts’-Terdepan,Terluar,andTertinggal(borderlinefrontier,outermost,underdeveloped)regions.Forthispurpose,theuniversaltelecommunicationandinternetaccessprogramhasbeendesignedforruralpopulations.Theprogramprovidesaccesses to internet in schools, trainingcenters,healthcenters,village halls, government offices, including those living and situated in the ‘3T’-jurisdictions.Theexpansionofservicestothe‘3T’-jurisdictionscannotonlybeseenasanefforttonarrowdigitaldivide,butalsotobringthesejurisdictionstogetherwithotherjurisdictionstodynamicallyfollowtheeraofITC.WithanincreasingtrendofITCliteracyin the ‘3T’-jurisdictions, digital development is directed to support commercialbusinesses,socialinteractions,andpublicservices.

ThegovernmentcommitmenttoimplementgoodgovernanceisclearlystatedintheRPJMN2015-2019. The commitment is translated into a set of agenda to build clean,effective,democratic,andtrustedgovernance,wherethespecificsub-agendaistobuildtransparencyandaccountabilityofgovernmentperformance.Thisisfurtherelaborated

CHAPTER7 CONCLUSION
For the Republic of Indonesia, implementing national development agenda isimplementing SDGs.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development developed at the global levelcoincidedwiththeperiodofIndonesia’s2015-2019RPJMN.Someofthefocusesofthetwo documents are in line, among others: poverty, hunger and malnutrition, healthdevelopment, education and gender equality, efforts to reduce income inequality, andinequalities across regions. The SDGs have beenmainstreamed into the National andSubnational Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN, RPJMD), which is furtherelaborated in theNationalandSubnationalAnnualWorkPlan(RKP,RKPD).LocalisingSDGs in Indonesia is a reflection of Indonesia's highest commitment, as it reinforcesnationaldevelopmentagenda.AnothercommitmentwasshownbytheestablishmentofaNational Coordination Team for the implementation of the SDGs led directly by thePresident of the Republic of Indonesia.
