This activity directly contributes to the achievement of several points in the Sustainable Development Goals, including:
- SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Resilient Institutions, through strengthening transparent, inclusive and accountable governance in policy formulation.
- SDG 17 – Partnerships to Achieve Goals, by involving various parties from the government, private sector, academia, to civil society in a strategic dialogue space.
- SDG 10 – Reducing Inequality, through the involvement of vulnerable groups and grassroots in public decision-making processes.
By holding this public consultation, the government shows its commitment to make the policy formulation process an open, reflective and collaborative dialogue space. This effort not only aims to address national development needs, but also to ensure alignment with the global sustainable development agenda.
