The report lays the foundation for the development of a future Voluntary Local Review (VLR) on SDG implementation. The VLR will facilitate data-driven decision-making and serve as a benchmark in measuring progress against the SDGs, particularly for new and emerging cities where sustainable development practices are fundamental.
“The baseline report and the subsequent Voluntary Local Review represent not only a step toward Indonesia's ambitious goals of building a sustainable Nusantara, but a leap in our journey to integrate Nusantara into the global effort to achieve the SDGs outlined in the 2030 Agenda,” said NCA Chairman Bambang Susantono.
“I thank ADB and our development partners for their role in realizing this effort further," Susantono added.
The NCA, established in March 2022, is a ministerial-level agency that reports directly to the Indonesian President. The authority is responsible for planning and constructing the new capital, overseeing the government’s transition to the new city, and eventually becoming its manager. (WHY)
