UNDP Indonesia’s mission is to be an agent for change in the human and social development of Indonesia. We aim to be a bridge between Indonesia and all donors as well as a trusted partner to all stakeholders. We work in four key areas of development: Governance Reforms, Pro-Poor Policy Reforms, Conflict Prevention and Recovery, and Environment Management, with the overarching aim of reducing poverty in Indonesia. Besides the four priority areas, UNDP Indonesia is also engaged in a variety of crosscutting initiatives focused on HIV/AIDS, gender equality, and information and technology for development.
The Multi-Donor Programme – Support to Indonesia’s Democratic Elections (Elections MDP) project is a 3-year technical assistance initiative that seeks to enhance and further consolidate the institutional and professional capacities of the KPU, the Panwaslu, its Secretariat and its regional offices to meet the numerous priorities that are faced both in the immediate and longer-term. It also seeks to enhance the quality of participation of voters in Indonesia’s elections, by increasing the awareness of voters on the importance of democratic processes that will serve as a foundation for post-election engagement with elected public officials. This support also seeks to facilitate the Government of Indonesia in coordinating international support to elections in Indonesia, with the aim of achieving a harmonized donor programme in line with the principles contained in the Paris Declaration of Aid Effectiveness.
