RESEARCH
the Secretariat for the National Coordination Team of the Sustainable Development Goals is
under the Ministry of NDP / NDPA and led by the Chief of Executing Team from the National
Coordination Team.167 One of the strategic roles of the Ministry of NDP / NDPA according
to the President Regulation 59/2017 is its role as the party that receives the annual report
of the SDGs’ implementation, starting from the regional level to the national level, which is
submitted by the governor, minister, and the head of institutions (including by the Head of
the NCHR).168 Further, the Minister of NDP / Head of NDPA will submit the SDGs report in
its entirety to the President.169
The NCHR has a strong basis to support the achievement of the SDGs in all of its goals. In this
research, particularly in Chapter 2, it is concluded that all goals in the SDGs could be related
to the rights under Law 39/1999. Furthermore, practically, as explained in Chapter 3 of this
research, it has also been proven that the NCHR has implemented activities related to the
SDGs and human rights explicitly, beyond and not limited to Goals 5 and 16, in performing
its duties and authorities according to the NCHR functions—despite that there are many
improvements that must be done as delivered by the research team and by various parties.
Nonetheless, in President Regulation 59/2017, the Minister of National Development
Planning / Head of the National Development Planning Agency of the Republic of
Indonesia Regulation Number 7 of 2018 concerning Coordination, Planning, Monitoring,
Evaluation, and Reporting of the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals
(hereinafter: the Minister of NDP / Head of NDPA Regulation 7/2018), and Minister of
National Development Planning / Head of the National Development Planning Agency

Team, Working Group, and Expert Team for the Sustainable Development Goals 20172019] (hereinafter: Minister of NDP / Head of NDPA Decision 127/M.PPN/HK/11/2018), the
NCHR’s roles in achieving the SDGs have not yet been optimally accommodated.170As has
been delivered in Chapter 1, President Regulation 59/2017 only position the NCHR as an
executing institution of Goals 5 and 16.171 The Minister of NDP / Head of NDPA Regulation
