MAMPU Supports Partners’ Collective Action for the Achievement of SDGs

To support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (TPBs/SDGs) in Indonesia, MAMPU Program and its 14 partners have commenced consultations with multistakeholders at the regional and national levels.

Together with the International NGO Forum on Indonesian Development (INFID) MAMPU has developed a pilot project for the preparation of the SDGs Regional Action Plans (RAD) in six locations. Throughout March 2018, these six sites have held public consultations and events for dissemination of information about RAD TPB.

“The establishment of the SDGs Coordination Team in Cirebon District involves multi-stakeholders, namely government and parliament, academia and experts, philanthropists and business people, as well as civil society organizations and the media,” said Dewi Ririn, Regional Coordinator of MAMPU-‘Aisyiyah Program West Java, at event for disseminating information about RAD SDGs in Cirebon District, last Thursday 22 March 2018.

In addition, at the national level, YKP Chairman Zumrotin K. Susilo and Migrant CARE Director Wahyu Susilo were also invited to be members of the government’s Steering Committee of the National Action Plan Coordinating Team of SDGs.

“The SDGs are objectives at the national level which are underpinned by Presidential Regulation No. 59 signed in 2017. In order for SDGs to be achieved, all parties must work together in terms of their vision, and not engage in ‘business as usual’,” said Zumrotin during the SDG Policy Dialogue held by INFID on Tuesday 27 March 2018.
