Background

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is signed by 193 governments, including the Government of Indonesia (GoI).

SDGs Governance and Social Innovation Platform

Since 2016, UNDP has been assisting national and subnational governments to localize SDG in Indonesia. Operating under a regional autonomy policy, local governance is key to achieving the SDGs. Thus, translating SDGs at subnational level is imperative. However, despite the complex and interconnected nature of the SDGs, many of the current development initiatives are still designed to address specific issues linearly. A Social Innovation Platform is designed integrate and bring together actors and actions for a systemic approach to address SDGs.

UNDP applies an ‘area-based’ social innovation approach to strengthen local governance. The approach helps communities exploring partnerships and investments with public/private sectors, informs policy reforms, and supports UNDP’s role as an ‘integrator’. The Social Innovation Platform has five core dimensions: 1) Deep listening, systems mapping & sense making; 2) Co-creation & prototyping capabilities in 5 interconnected levels (community relations; start-ups; large scale public-private partnerships; public service redesign & new regulation); 3) Portfolio approach; 4) Collaborative management & soft power; and 5) Transformation Capital – with the following steps:
