VNR 2017

Heads of State and representatives of 193 countries have agreed upon the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at United Nations General Assembly in New York, September 2015. This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity and to strengthen universal peace. The Agenda is known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) consisting of 17 goals and 169 measurable targets.

SDGs has been aligned with “Nawacita” as Indonesia’s national development vision, which is integrated in development policies, strategies and programs of National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2015-2019, and translated into Government Work Plan (RKP) with its associated budget. The integration of SDGs into development plan is also implemented in sub­national level through preparation of Medium-Term Regional Development Plan (RPJMD) and Regional Work Plan (RKPD). The SDGs implementation is conducted by involving all stakeholders: government and parliament, philanthropy and business society, civil society organizations and media, as well as academics and experts to ensure achieving SDGs in line with the principles of inclusiveness and no one left behind. There are some documents prepared for SDGs implementation, among others: Presidential Decree as a legal basis, technical guidelines to develop action plan, metadata of SDGs’ indicators, communication strategy, and SDGs dissemination to all stakeholders, both at national and sub-national levels.

This 2017 Voluntary National Review report has followed technical guidelines provided in the United Nations Secretary-General’s report. The process to produce the report has applied inclusive, participatory and transparency principles by involving all stakeholders coordinated by Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
