Localization and its impact on achieving SDGs and transitioning to post-SDGs in Indonesia

Abstract

The target year for the SDGs agenda, 2030, is rapidly approaching, yet progress still lags behind the targets, especially in developing countries. One method to enhance the attainment of the SDGs is through SDG localization. This study examined priority indicators at the provincial level in Indonesia. Utilizing Spearman's correlation and network analysis allowed for the detection of positive (synergy) or negative (trade-off) interactions between SDG indicators and the determination of priorities using degree centrality. This study identified twelve priority indicators, seven of which are localized indicators, with the majority falling under SDG 4 (Quality education: four indicators), SDG 3 (Good health and well-being: two indicators), and SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth: one indicator). These findings demonstrate the significant role that localized indicators play in achieving the SDGs and planning the post-2030 SDGs agenda.
