Indonesia
The Joint SDG Fund's investment in Indonesia is a catalyst for transformative change, supporting the nation's ambitious goals of achieving high-income status by 2045 and eradicating extreme poverty. By focusing on integrated social and economic development, the investment aims to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all Indonesians.
Key aspects of this transformative approach include strengthening social protection systems, aligning education and skills training with private sector needs, and developing tailored programs for climate-affected regions. These initiatives aim to enhance resilience, promote sustainable livelihoods, and empower communities across Indonesia.
Namibia
The Joint SDG Fund's investment in Namibia is catalyzing a sustainable and inclusive economic transformation, focusing on creating resilient jobs in the agriculture and biomass sectors. By supporting 3,000 harvesters and 100 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), the initiative aims to generate 3,300 jobs while promoting sustainable resource management.
Additionally, the SDG Impact Investment Fund, targeting 500 MSMEs, seeks to create another 3,000 jobs. This comprehensive approach not only boosts employment but also strengthens policy and institutional capacities, expands social protection systems, and benefits 3,300 farming households. By prioritizing job formalization and targeting vulnerable groups such as women, youth, wood harvesters, and charcoal workers, the investment empowers local communities and promotes sustainable development.
