Building the Future of Indonesia’s Young Generation: SDGs SSTC II Showcases Local Innovation at SAC 2025
How can collaboration across sectors shape a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable Indonesia?
At the 8th SDGs Annual Conference (SAC 2025), organized by the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas) , this question took center stage. The event serves as a platform to strengthen collaboration and accelerate SDG implementation across the country.
This year’s theme, “Improving the quality of human resources, accelerating sustainable economic growth, and reducing poverty through the Free Nutritious Meals Program,” highlights the multiplier effects of food systems on inclusive development, promote knowledge sharing, innovation, and best practices to strengthen local food security, and encourage collaborative, research-based approaches and community engagement.
During the third seminar of SAC 2025 on 23 October, Through the theme “Resilient and Self-Sufficient Community: Management of Local Resources for Food Security”, the GIZ-supported SDGs SSTC II Project, in collaboration with the Krisna Foundation spotlights how multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) bring together local governments, NGOs, and communities to boost food security and livelihoods. The initiative strengthens food security and economic resilience by empowering the marginal groups, including local farmers in villages and border areas, as well as inmates in local prisons, to grow high-quality horticultural products. The project activity provides training, capacity development, and quality monitoring to ensure farmers can supply nutritious food while improving their livelihoods.
These partnerships ensure that nutrition becomes the foundation for learning, strengthen food systems through local action, promote sustainable agriculture, and advance collaboration through the SDGs and SSTC frameworks, building a unified vision for a healthy, resilient, and sustainable generation.
