 SDGs and NUAs Linkage
Groundwork for governance and
management structures that
emphasize inclusive, participatory
decision-making as a basis for
resilient, inclusive, safe and
sustainable cities and human
settlements
Strengthening governance from
the bottom up and developing
a new, collaborative
relationship among
governments at all levels, civil
society, the private sector and
citizens will be instrumental in
ensuring effective and
responsive urban development
and capable and accountable
institutions in all human
settlements
 SDGs and NUAs Linkage

 Jakarta’s Lessons Learned
 There are some lessons learned from MDGs
implementation in Jakarta. Three of them are of
particular importance:
 Top-down process of the MDGs. Limited engaged of
the local government and civil society. Internalizing
is a must. Inclusiveness is important.
 It is important to recognize the interrelatedness of
the goals and targets. Collaborative action is a
challenge.
 Data and information will be critical in monitoring
the progress and reviewing the result.

 Road Map
 Road map for localizing SDGs is a tool for local governments to
participate and strengthen its role in the achievement of
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 Though SDGs is a global development agenda, but the role of local
government in delivering development at the local level is one of
the most important modality of SDGs implementation.
 Once a road map has been set up, local government will be able to
implement SDGs consistently according to the local context
regardless of changes in human or financial resource as commonly
occur within local government institutional setting.

 Working Group
 Established SDGs working group of Jakarta, which are comprises of
local government staff and NGO. Additional member from media,
community-based organization, university would be involved soon
after ‘recognizing stakeholders process’ has finalized.
 Main tasks are (i) to recognize SDG stakeholders, (ii) implementing
base line study, (iii) developing an advocacy plan and
implementing road show, (iv) internalize SDGs into local
government regulation and policy, (v) develop SDGs road map and
action plan.

10
 Base Line Study
 Stakeholder mapping  to identify which institutional targets will
have the most influence and/or can be engaged as effective
partners
 Reviewing the result of MDGs implementation.
 Matching the institutional function (technical department and non-
governmental institution) with SDGs goals, targets, and indicators.
 Identify priority areas for action based on review of MDGs
implementation, previous medium term development plan, vision
and mission of the future elected governor.
 Identify resources needed for implementation (both financial and
human resources). 11
 Advocacy Plan
 Advocacy or raising awareness is the first step to start localizing
the SDGs. The idea is to communicate to local government staff,
media, local community, and all the stakeholders the importance
of the SDGs and the critical role of all stakeholders in achieving
the target of SDGs.

 Advocacy plan  (i) what needs to change. identify the issues

need to focus on; (ii) who do we need to influence; (iii) what do
we need them to do; (iv) what will do to target this stakeholder
(technical advise or pertnership, paper/report/letter); (v)
managing risk. What can we do to manage the risk of the plan; (vi)
monitoring success. Identify indicator of the succesfulness. 12
 Internalizing the SDGs
 Adopt the SDGs-NUA into local government regulation. SDGs : 17
Goals, 169 targets and indicators need to be adopted into the local policy
and regulation.

 The SDGs Agenda need to be included in (i) Medium Term Development

Plan 2018-2023 and (ii) Revised Spatial Planning of Jakarta 2010-2030.
These two documents will be finalized on December 2017.

 The working group can help us to include the SDGs agenda into the
these two documents. The input based on the Base Line Survey of
SDGs.

 Based on this draft, the technical department will be working together

with all the stakeholders to develop road map and action plan of SDGs
implemetation. 13
 Challenges
 Raising Awareness. All the stakeholders need to realize the
importance of the SDGs and the critical role of them in achieving
the target of SDGs.
 Development of database and information system at the local level
 Prioritizing the Target of SDGs. Too many target and indicators need
to be achieved. Only half of the indicators already included in our
planning and budgeting document so far.
 Synergy among national government, local government, privates,
and communities.
 Utilization of resources from private and community including
collaboration with development partners. 14
