Indonesia SDGs: Financing Strategy
This project was part of the Indonesian Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Road Map 2024–2030, working together with SDGs Center Padjadjaran University. Dala worked on formulating a financing strategy for the new roadmap. This project proposed an approach for financial flows to achieve this endeavour as well as objectives aligned with the SDGs. This project defined SDG finance in the broader context of financial flows which included any finance modality, including finance and funding with and/or without concession as long as it was meant to support achieving the SDGs target by 2030. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were needed to recognise financial needs on a local level and to extend perspectives on a macro level in order to achieve the SDGs by 2030.
Context
Indonesia's commitment to net-zero emissions by 2060 requires rapid transformation of its energy system — yet transitions that ignore social equity risk deepening inequality, displacing workers, and excluding communities from decision-making.
This programme worked with three provincial governments to embed social inclusion criteria into energy planning, drawing on participatory research and policy analysis grounded in local realities.
Approach
Dala led mixed-methods research combining household surveys, key informant interviews, and multi-stakeholder workshops across provincial capitals and coal-affected districts.
We developed a social inclusion framework for energy transition planning, tested through pilot provincial action plans and validated with civil society, utilities, and government partners.
