Indonesia has taken the initiative and hosted the High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (HLF MSP) in Nusa Dua, Bali, from September 1–3, 2024.
The HLF MSP serves as a strategic platform to foster inclusive and innovative partnerships to tackle global challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
The 2024 HLF MSP is themed "Strengthening Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships: Towards a Transformative Change." This theme underscores Indonesia's aspiration to reinforce global solidarity through multilateral partnerships, particularly with the Global South, including the African continent.
Structural inequalities persist on a global scale, with developing countries, particularly those in Africa and the Global South, experiencing significant disadvantages relative to the Global North. These disparities are manifest in various sectors including welfare, economy, and development.
At the 2024 High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (HLF MSP), Indonesia prioritizes three global issues: Strengthening Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships for South-South and Triangular Cooperation, Enhancing Welfare and Sustainability through Sustainable Economy, and Advancing Development through Innovative Financing.
Indonesia is determined to assume a more prominent role in international platforms. This marks a significant milestone, demonstrating Indonesia's leadership in global solidarity and its dedication to realising the Indonesia Gold 2045 Vision.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Indonesia remains committed to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This commitment aligns with the global consensus to improve the well-being of people everywhere, as outlined in the 17 SDGs adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encompass:
No Poverty
Zero Hunger
Good Health and Well-being
Quality Education
Gender Equality
Clean Water and Sanitation
Affordable and Clean Energy
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
Reduced Inequalities
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Responsible Consumption and Production
Climate Action
Life Below Water
Life on Land
Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions
Partnerships for the Goals
Innovative Financing for the Sustainable Development Goals
The High-Level Forum on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (HLF MSP) is expected to generate innovative solutions to address the SDG financing gap, particularly from participating countries such as Indonesia and other nations in the Global South, including Africa.
A notable example is the launch of the SDGs Financing Hub by the Ministry of National Development Planning/BAPPENAS in 2018, aimed at developing innovative financing schemes in Indonesia.
The SDGs Financing Hub serves as a coordinating and facilitating platform for innovative financing in Indonesia, aimed at achieving the SDGs. It works by creating an enabling environment for innovative financing, building strategic networks and facilitating matchmaking, developing models, instruments, and technologies, and enhancing human capacity and knowledge sharing.
