Cecilia Caio, Thomas Beloe, Emily Davis, and *Mohamad Ikhsan Modjo (UNDP Indonesia)
Abstract: Across Indonesia and the ASEAN region as a whole, ambitions for the sustainable development progress that can be achieved in the Sustainable Development GoalS (SDG) era are high. Realising these ambitions will require mobilising the right scale and mix of financing. This paper forms part of a project to assess the financing challenges, opportunities, and the policies and institutional frameworks that governments can use In implementing the SDGs.
3). Tapping the Potential of Zakat and Other Forms of Islamic Finance to Achieve SDGs in Indonesia
Francine Pickup, Irfan Syauqi Beik, *Greget Kalla Buana (UNDP Indonesia)
Abstract: Between US$3 trillion and $4.5 trillion is needed to achieve the SDGs, while current investment is around $1.4 trillion, creating a financing shortfall of about $2.5 trillion. Governments alone cannot be responsible for domestic financing, leaving ample opportunity for increased and more effective philanthropic giving and social finance. The presentation explores the potential for Islamic finance to contribute in achieving the SDGs in Indonesia.
