The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an
international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide
operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people's living conditions on
a sustainable basis.
Since the roll-out of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the government
of Indonesia has showed strong commitment to get inline with the goals that can
be seen in the systematic approached to mainstream the SDGs Indicators into the
formal development planning at all levels of governance. However, this effort
is not without challenges. The core principles of SDGs, among others, Leave No
One Behind and Multi-Stakeholders Partnership are not that easy to realize.
The business as usual of the Indonesian government is working alone and
non-inclusive. So, the habit of the government officials to go ahead with
themselves is already formed strong. For this reason, there is a big need to
facilitate the process of bringing the state actors and the other non-state
actors on board.
In the previous SFF SDGs project, the facilitation support has already been
done from within the government partner reaching out to the non-state actors
and the results have indicated that an approach is needed to be made available
from the other end back to the government. Meaning, the facilitation support is
needed to be done from within the non-state actors reaching back to the state
actors.
Religious organizations are one of the most potential NSA as it is usually a
programmatic approach to developing its followers. Supports are provided to the
most in need (touching the principle leave no one behind) of the followers and
can be in the field of economy, education, health, and even environment.
However, similar to the government, for some reason, the religious organization
is also tend to work alone.
The SDGs framework that has already been developed by the government of
Indonesia is having a potential to bring them together. If the available tools
have been introduced and guided properly to the religious organizations, it is
expected to gain positive results and have the Partnership between the two
realized. In a long run, this could then be linked to other actors to create a
real Multi-Stakeholders Partnership.
A part of the efforts in realizing MSP between the religious organizations and
the other actors is by developing proper communication materials that may
strategically support the ROs in implementing development programs that are
contributing the achievement of SDGs within its' communities and reaching out
to broader communities.
