Mission and objectivesUNDP believes that the people of Indonesia should have ownership over the programmes and projects we support. All UNDP programmes therefore actively promote the spirit of mutual respect, support and accountability and subscribe to the principle of national ownership as enshrined in the Jakarta Commitment โ a declaration put forward by the government and its development partners in 2009 to strengthen aid effectiveness in Indonesia. In the true spirit of national ownership, all of UNDPโs assistance in Indonesia is implemented by national entities, including line ministries and the Ministry of National Planning and Development, and at the subnational level by line departments, provincial and district authorities as well as community groups. While each programme supported by UNDP has specific and varied objectives, capacity development is one aim that all UNDP programmes โ in Indonesia and worldwide โ have in common. This takes on many forms including institutional reform, leadership development, education, and training for members of the public such as journalists, and womenโs communities. In line with this logic, UNDP advisers work side by side with Indonesian counterparts to strengthen capacities in technical matters, policy formulation and budget planning, amongst others.
ContextIndonesia is determined to become a high-income economy by 2045, eradicate extreme poverty, and meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. In line with the Global Accelerator Roadmap, the joint programme/JP focuses on accelerating two key transformations: social and economic. For social transformation, JP aims to strengthen social protection systems by enhancing interoperability, revising policies with stakeholders, and building institutional capacity. It seeks to expand coverage to vulnerable groups, improve financial efficiency, and maximize social returns on investment. Achieving these goals will require policy changes and collaboration with employers, workers, and other stakeholders to ensure broader participation and commitment. On the economic side, the JP will improve educational responsiveness to the private sectorโs needs through sector-specific skills councils and the enhancement of apprenticeship programs. It will review and refine vocational training financing, leveraging innovative models such as skills development funds. The programme will also assess the skills needs in climate-affected areas and create targeted programs for vulnerable populations. Additionally, the JP will focus on building capacity for just transitions by empowering policymakers and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and piloting innovative financing schemes like social impact investments. This initiative is designed to directly contribute to the achievement of SDGs 1 (No Poverty), 4 (Quality Education), and 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). It is expected to benefit 1,400 people directly and impact 58 million Indonesians indirectly, including those currently enrolled in programs like PKH (Family Hope) and Sembako (Food Voucher). The JP will also harness $5 billion in government funding to implement the Global Accelerator Roadmap on social protection and jobs, ensuring a comprehensive and coordinated approach to poverty alleviation and sustainable economic growth.
