These collaborations are important since it could maximize the NCHR’s effort to
implement the SDGs activities from human rights perspective with support from third
parties. Examples of the NCHR’s foreign partner in collaborating within the field of the
SDGs and human rights and who have signed the memorandum of understanding with the
NCHR are the UNESCO,130 the Danish Institute for Human Rights (hereinafter: DIHR),131 and
the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia.132
The UNESCO and the DIHR could be considered as the two most prominent foreign partners
who have collaborated with the NCHR. The most prominent collaboration result between
the NCHR and the UNESCO were the human rights indicator web-based tool which is related
with the SDGs and various supporting activities and their derivatives as explained above.
Meanwhile, the most prominent collaboration result with the DIHR was the implementation
of various capacity-building activities for the NCHR and other relevant parties in the SDGs
and human rights, particularly in 2019 and 2020.133 One of the activities recently conducted
was held in December 2020, whereas the NCHR held a webinar on the NHRIs roles in SDGs
where the DIHR representative participated as one of the speakers.134 Another example
of activity is in March 2019, where one of the NCHR Commissioner delivered Indonesia’s
perspective on the correlation between demography and the SDGs in one of the sessions
of the Asia-Pacific People’s Forum on Sustainable Development 2019, the DIHR was one of
the NCHR��s partners in that session.135 There were two goals mentioned explicitly as the
