Short description:

This book expands on how Indonesia supports the achievement of global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by providing an in-depth examination of how the SDGs can be localized, not only at the national level, but also down to the grassroots level, for villages in Indonesia. It nominates strategies, policies, and initiatives aimed at accelerating the achievement of the SDGs within the context of Indonesia's national development agenda. In doing so, the book tailors the implementation of the SDGs to the conditions, indigenous culture, and local wisdom of villages in the country, and explores various thematic areas covered by the SDGs, including poverty alleviation, education, health, gender equality, environmental sustainability, and economic growth, within the specific context of rural communities. It also discusses lessons learned from previous village development initiatives before the development of the SDGs, communicating the importance of community participation and local governance in driving sustainable development efforts at the village level. Both a practical guide for policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders who are interested in accelerating the achievement of sustainable development goals in rural areas, and for scholars studying sustainable development in rural areas within developing countries similar to Indonesia, where the majority of the population is dispersed across tens of thousands of villages, this book enables both researchers and practitioners to work to localize the SDGs and empower communities at the grassroots level.
