other executing institutions in the President Regulation 59/2017, and other relevant parties
requires improvement and better promotion.158 Indriana Nugraheni (National Secretariat
of the Sustainable Development Goals / Secretariat for the National Coordination Team of
the Sustainable Development Goals) specifically addresses the importance for the NCHR
to coordinate in a more in-depth manner with the Ministry of NDP / NDPA.159 Through this
collaboration, it is expected that all parties are working together to help the government in
performing its duties as the party in charge of fulfilling human rights while simultaneously
support the achievement of the SDGs in Indonesia.160 The aforementioned collaboration
with foreign partners such as the UNESCO and the DIHR will also provide a very good impact
if it is improved, particularly in connection with the strengthening of the NCHR internal
resources.
Only 10% of the respondents from the NCHR External FGD were aware of the NCHR
position as the SDGs Coordinator for Asia Pacific, GANHRI. Internally, when answering
the questionnaires, Sri Nur Fathya (Sub-Coordinator for the Department of Partnership
between Institutions) also advised the NCHR to reinforce its role as the SDGs Coordinator
for Asia Pacific, GANHRI. The NCHR could actually introduce and develop the web-based
tool’s quality to and together with the other NHRIs in the Asia Pacific region.
The SDGs web-based tool and human rights indicator possess the chance to become the
consolidating element that can help the NCHR and the government to achieve the SDGs by
implementing the human rights aspects. It is unfortunate that the survey result from the
NCHR External FGD stated that only 20% of the respondents were aware of and/or utilize
the said web-based tool. Internally, the NCHR has discussed the necessity to improve the
web-based tool by the addition of human rights indicators in the other SDGs goals that
have not been made.161 From the NCHR’s external parties, for instance, Diani Sadiawati
(Expert Staff for the Minister of National Development Planning) and Indriana Nugraheni
proposed several recommendations to the web-based tool, such as a display of the
previously obtained achievements.162 Indriana Nugraheni also stated among others, the
need of displaying the technical standard of the measurable indicators.163
