8. Localization of sdgs in indonesia Supported with several regulations (Legal basis) : • Presidential Regulation on SDGs (Perpres 59/2017) (Promote horizontal and vertical coordination) • Ministry of Home Affairs Regulation (Permendagri 7/2018) (promote mainstreaming of SDGs indicators in local government planning documents) Both work to ensure that SDGs concept are being mainstreamed in local government work plan

9. Indonesia local government readiness on sdgs • Projections by the Padjajaran University SDGs Center (2017): • Assumption of the Business-As-Usual scenario • Based on historical data for the last 10-15 years (baseline: 2015) • 40 indicators selected • Projection methods: trend analysis (linear, logarithmic, exponential), qualitative model, judgment • Analysis of the target distance with the baseline using a scorecard scoring system: • A (4)=Reaching or almost reaching the target (> = 97.5%) B (3)= Approaching the target (> = 90%) • C (2) More from ¼ road to target (<25%) • D (1)=Less than ¼ road to target (25-50%) • E (0)= Still quite far reaching the target (> 50%) • Provincial Average Score : • Only 13 Provinces with scores above 2 (C)

11. Localise sdgs : activities and targeted provinces

12. Challenges in localizing sdgs in indonesia Gap between Eastern and Western Local Governments: majority of Western Provinces have launched and prepared RAD, whereas for Eastern, only a few are preparing RAD Provincial Governments are relatively well-exposed with SDGs issues, however District/City have various understanding on SDGs. Most regional governments still require technical capacity in formulating RAD and an d intregating SDGs indicators into RPJMD. Involvement of non-state stakeholders are still low in RAD preparationn Regulations and instruments from the Central Government that are still unclear or well-disseminated to sub-national govenments

13. Opportunities of Localizing of SDGs in Indonesia • Local government achievement : • 5 provinces already finished their SDGs Local Action Plan : Riau, Yogyakarta, Banda Aceh, West Java, and NTB • Academic and Research for SDGs Consortium in West Nusa Tenggara • SDGs App to monitor local government achievement in West Nusa Tenggara • National progress: • Alternative financing: SDGs one and Zakat for SDGs

14. The future of Localizing SDGs in Indonesia • National level : • Indonesian Ministry of National Development and Planning is currently integrating its monitoring system with SDGs Monitoring System • The development of Budget tagging for SDGs to monitor the state/local budget expense allocated for SDG related programs. • UCLG ASPAC (LOCALISE SDGs Project) • Introduce SDGs concept such as circular economy and blended financing for SDGs through innovative method and gamification (design thinking, role playing, active discussion) • Introducing new and innovative method to learn SDG concept • Ensuring vertical and horizontal coordination in the SDGs governance • Promoting multistakeholder partnership

15. Good Enabling environment is needed • CEE Assessment in Asia Pacific • is a collaborative effort of UCLG ASPAC, Cities Alliance, and UNDP using 11 criteria. • Why CEE Rating is important: • It seeks to catalyse policy debate on creating enabling environments for cities and local governments to promote productive, sustainable and inclusive development. • It helps cities and local governments to identify key urban reforms for advocacy with the higher tier of government(s) for increasing their efficiency and effectiveness in urban management.

16. 11 Criteria Financial transfer from central to the local governments Local democracy Constitutional framework Legislative framework Local governments’ own revenues Capacity building of local gov’t administrations Transparency Citizen participation Additional criteria: Women’s Participation in Local Governance Local Gov’t performance Environmental Governance Urban strategy

18. Highlights

19. conclusion • Localisingthe SDGs requires good enabling environment for local governments to perform well. Support from central governments is needed. • Integration of SDGs in local action plan should consider local wisdom, culture and local priority. • Accessibility and availability of data should be prioritized. • Financial options on SDGs implementation should be considered, including blended financing, zakat, and financial effectiveness, via budget tagging for SDGs. • Role of Local Governments Association (LGA) such as MALA is extremely important. These include awareness raising, capacity development for their members.
