Office/Unit/Project Description   
 
In the UN Sustainable Development Summit held in September 2015, UN countries member agreed on a common development agenda, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will be achieved in 2030. SDGs has 17 goals and 169 targets measured with over 300 indicators. The government of Indonesia (GoI) translated their commitment in adopting the SDGs by launching Presidential Decree No. 59 the Year 2017,  provided a legal framework for national and subnational governments in accelerating SDGs. It mandated the establishment of inclusive SDGs Coordination Team, mainstreaming of SDGs in planning document (RPJMN/RPJMD), preparation of National and Local Action Plan on SDGs, and annual reporting on SDGs Achievement - conducted together with 4 SDGs stakeholder pillars, namely government, private sectors/philanthropy, academic/expert, and CSO/media/community.

Local stakeholders need to be empowered to address SDGs issues, especially the most relevant ones to the local context.

To address this need, UNDP Indonesia establishes SDG Academy Indonesia.

The Academy also provide knowledge platforms through Alun-alun Inovasi and Beranda Inspirasi. 
 
After the programs launched in March 2021, the SDG Academy Indonesia kicked off the first batch of SDG Leadership Program and gradually launch its 13 courses in Mobile Learning Program. The programs are targeting large size of population in Indonesia and it is expected that many will participate actively in the platforms. The preparation of Alun-alun Inovasi and Beranda Inspirasi run concurrently.
