Jakarta - Indonesia, one of the pathfinder countries of the Global Accelerator, officially endorsed its national roadmap of the Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions on 10 June 2025. This marks the country’s commitment to accelerate the achievement of SDGs, particularly in reducing its poverty and social disparities, and improving labour force productivity and economic growth.
This strategic roadmap supports three national priorities:
- Self-sufficiency of food, energy, water, and syariah/digital/green/blue economy;
- Human resources development;
- Development from the village and from the bottom for economic growth, economic equality and poverty reduction.
The roadmap also aligns with and supports the achievement of four national priority programs: green jobs; adaptive social protection; access to jobs and sustainable and innovative entrepreneurship, improved equality and fulfilment of rights of people with disabilities and older people.
Indonesia’s roadmap was jointly developed by the Government of Indonesia under the leadership of the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) and the UN agencies in Indonesia, ILO, UNDP and UNICEF. The roadmap was developed through eight rounds of drafting committee meetings between the Government and the United Nations, spanning from August 2023 to March 2024. A draft roadmap was consulted with workers and employers organizations, relevant ministries, and civil society organizations on 7 September 2023, and presented by the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning during the SDG Summit in New York, 17 September 2023.
The implementation of the roadmap has started through two UN joint programmes, which are funded by the Joint SDG Fund.
The “Modern and adaptive social protection and skills development systems for transforming Indonesia” joint programme will facilitate social and economic transformations in Indonesia to achieve a high-income economy status by 2045. It aims to reach 1400 people directly and, by targeted interventions, improve social assistance operations and enhance climate resilience, will benefit 58 million people.
The other is a joint UN-World Bank programme, “Closing disability inclusion gaps in social protection and labour across the life cycle in Indonesia”, which was launched under the M-GA track. It focuses on improving the inclusion and labour market outcomes for persons with disabilities. The interventions under this joint programme will benefit approximately 19.3 million individuals with disabilities.
