The first report was published in 2004, while the second one was published, in the form of a brief summary, in 2005. This report is published not merely as an obligation, but it is an attempt to provide readers information about the progress that Indonesia has made, and to demonstrate the commitment of the country to realise the goals of the Millennium Declaration which was made at the United Nations in 2000. The MDGs represent the noble aspiration of many countries as expressed in the Millennium Declaration. This aspiration is based on the view that true development is in the form of human development. The goals represent a paradigm that must be the foundation of development for all the countries that have agreed on the United Nations Millennium Declaration. Human development refers to a state of development where the final goal is the welfare of people. A prosperous community is made up of people who can fully enjoy prosperity; people who are not poor, who do not suffer from starvation, and who are able to have access to education and health services equally. A prosperous society is also one who are free from hazardous and contagious diseases, have appropriate housing, and live in a clean environment. Indonesia’s human development policies have long been planned and directed through various development programs and activities implemented under the administration of President Soekarno, President Soeharto, President Habibie, President Abdurrahman Wahid, President Megawati Soekarnoputri, and President Susilo Bamabang Yudhoyono. Therefore, one can argue that Indonesia has always been strongly committed to human development. The aim of this report is to review the progress made since 1990 to 2007. In addition to it, the report briefly explains the challenges being faced and the efforts needed to achieve the various targets under the MDGs. This report can be used as the basis for planning and mobilising necessary action in order to achieve the MDGs by 2015. The report places a special emphasis on the accomplishment of developmental activities related to the MDGs in each province. In this respect, I would like to congratulate those regions that were able to show positive performance with an expectation that these results can be maintained in the coming years. As to any areas that require improvement, I invite all the parties to collaborate and strive together for the attainment of the MDGs. As my closing remarks, I would also like to convey my gratitude to all parties who have assisted in the writing and publication of this report. I wish this report will be a valuable contribution in our attempt as a nation to realise the aspiration of a better human development in future. Jakarta, November 2007 State Minister of the National Development Planning Head of the National Development Planning H. Paskah Suzetta FOREWORD This is the second report that has been prepared on the status of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in Indonesia. After world leaders from 189 countries agreed in 2000 to reach the eight MDGs by 2015, we now find ourselves at the halfway point. It is therefore an important time to take stock of where we stand, and more importantly how we can accelerate progress towards achieving these goals. The report shows that the country is showing gradual improvements towards all the goals, and is on track to meet many of the MDG targets. There are concerns, however, over lack of progress on maternal health, child nutrition, and environment, including access to safe drinking water. Also, these national averages and aggregates conceal disparities across the Indonesian archipelago. If the current trend continues, there are many districts and provinces in the outer islands that are highly unlikely to meet the targets. Furthermore, these numbers do not capture the quality of development in the country, which is better reflected through Human Development indicators. In conclusion, there is still much that needs to be done to ensure that all provinces and districts reach these global targets. Our focus should shift to those regions that are lagging behind, and assist them to localize the MDGs, not merely as benchmarks in their development plans, but as drivers for policy making, resource allocation and public spending. The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) stands committed to helping the Government of Indonesia by providing the support needed in this endeavour to make poverty history in the country.
