Problem Description

This solution was created to share about the importance of collaboration and multi-stakeholder partnership in achieving a common goal, which is to contribute in achieving the SDGs for a better Indonesia. This solution also shows the role of goal no 17: partnership which is indeed important as means of implementation. The activities of philanthropy and business had not been recorded during the MDGs. Therefore, on a global level the SDG Philanthropy Platform - SDG PP was created with Indonesia as one of the pilot country. At the same year, UN Global Compact and World Council for Sustainable Business Development also pledge their commitment to participate in achieving the SDGs. In Indonesia, the philanthropy and business sector decided to collaborate by establishing the Forum 'Filantropi dan Bisnis. SDGs for a better Indonesia' (FBI4SDGs) on March 3, 2016.
