Introduction
Komnas HAM is one of the human rights institutions involved in the 2020
SDGs survey.13 In the survey, Komnas HAM has informed about activities
related to the SDGs, including the establishment of Komnas HAM Sustainable
Development Goals Team by the Plenary Session and partnership with various
parties in the country and abroad.14 The problems faced by Komnas HAM in
carrying out the SDGs activities are the availability of budget to carry out the
SDGs activities, the short period of involvement in the SDGs, and the lack of
involvement by the government in the national SDGs implementation plan.15
