The Indonesian government is preparing a vision framework and principles for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The development agenda was one of the most important resolutions from the Rio+20 Summit in Brazil last June. In addition, a substitute for Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which will expire in 2015, is also being prepared.
“The president has assigned us to formulate it [the agenda],” said Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, director of the presidential executive division on Development Monitoring and Control (UKP4), on Thursday, September 6, during a workshop entitled: “Indonesia and Post-2015 Development Agenda”.
Kuntoro added that since last week his division has invited international academics for a discussion and seminar. These academics include: Nobel-prize winner in economics Eric Maskin, and scientist and leading economist Kaushik Basu. In addition there was also green economy advocate Pavan Sukhdev and Sabina Alkire from the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative.
