Advancing policy-planning and triangular cooperation for the 2030 Agenda

Context

Indonesia continues to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global framework for economic, social, and environmental progress. As a new emerging donor country, Indonesia contributes to international development through South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC), sharing knowledge and resources globally. However, ensuring that SSTC initiatives have a greater impact requires better alignment and coordination between national and regional efforts.

Limited attention to gender equality, as highlighted in SDG 5, has also reduced the inclusiveness of some development efforts. To address these issues, building partnerships with diverse stakeholders is crucial for harmonising efforts and accelerating progress.

Objective

The implementation of gender-equal and socially inclusive multi-stakeholder partnerships for the SDGs and SSTC has improved.

Approach

The project supports Indonesia’s Ministry of National Development Planning in implementing the SDGs and assists the National Coordination Team of South-South Cooperation (NCT SSC) in advancing SSTC measures through inclusive partnership.

To achieve its objective, the project focuses on:

• Expanding the use of gender-equal and socially inclusive guidelines in SDG and SSTC processes in Indonesia.
• Conducting joint evaluations of three Indonesian-German triangular cooperation projects.
• Evaluating gender-equal and socially inclusive SDG implementation in six Indonesian provinces.
• Showcasing successful examples of inclusive SDG implementation and SSTC at international forums.
