Mainstreaming the sustainable development goals in Indonesia: An experience from the Ministry of Development Planning 2016-2019

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) improved and expanded the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). One of the lessons learned from MDGs is that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development needed to be more comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred. Therefore, the Sustainable Development Goals embrace the principles of universal, integrated and interrelated social, economic and environmental dimensions of development. Moreover, progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals should benefit all people, especially the vulnerable, and the achievement of the Goals should involve all stakeholders, and that ambition is contained in the pledge to leave no one behind.
