The National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Investment platform. This step was taken to facilitate sustainable investment to support the achievement of SDGs targets by 2030.
“This platform is a collaboration between Bappenas, UNDP, and is supported by many parties, aimed at facilitating sustainable investment whose focus is on projects to achieve SDGs in Indonesia,” said Bappenas Deputy for Maritime Affairs and Natural Resources Vivi Yulaswati at the Road to Sustainable Annual Conference (SAC ) 2024: SDGs Festival-SDGs Action Talk, Sunday (6/10).
As is known, Indonesia needs six more years to fulfill global commitments to achieve SDGs targets by 2030. To date, Indonesia’s achievement is 62 percent of 224 indicators, which means it is in a leading position among upper middle income countries.

One of the significant challenges to accelerating these targets is raising sustainable funding. For this reason, his party together with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and other parties launched the SDGs Investment platform to collect funding sources, as well as bring together various projects and philanthropic actors.
“Why a platform? Of course digitalization, we want learning, lifelong learning happens to all of us. Of course sdgsinvestment.id is a platform not only to bring together various projects and philanthropists, and also other sources of funding, but a place for all of us to learn for how to produce an impact, so that Indonesia can achieve its SDGs targets on time,” said Vivi.
Apart from launching the platform, SDGs Action Talk also presents the inspiring stories of the winners of Indonesia’s SDGs Action Awards 2022-2024, highlighting good practices and successful initiatives in supporting Indonesia’s TPB/SDGs achievements.

This activity aims to facilitate discussions around sustainability and the potential for further development of successful initiatives as a form of real support for efforts to achieve the TPB/SDGs targets which are expected to open up opportunities for wider collaboration, as well as exploring the potential for sustainable funding to strengthen existing initiatives.
“Today’s SDG Action Talk provides an opportunity for all of us to learn various good practices. So on the one hand, there are many people who have passion “far beyond us to truly make the implementation of SDGs sustainable development truly inclusive, helping to facilitate various hidden populations,” he added.
Vivi also hopes that cross-sector collaboration will continue to be strengthened, so that it will have an impact on accelerating the achievement of SDGs in Indonesia. (Ant/Z-11)
