In line with the integrated logic of the SDGs, the Indonesian government’s
development strategy (RPJMN) for the period 2015–2019 recognises that environmental and climate issues are crucial, but it also places the well-being of its populations at the centre of its priorities. As a result, in its concern for social cohesion, the government is focusing on greater redistribution in favour of the middle classes and the poor.
These two main Indonesian priorities dovetail with those of AFD Group as set out in its Strategic Orientation Plan, via two commitments: 100% Paris Agreement and 100% Social Cohesion. In this way, AFD seeks to reconcile the fight against poverty and inequalities with the fight against climate change. It will also ensure that each of its financing actions is compatible with a resilient
low-carbon development trajectory in line with the Paris Agreement, and that this financing helps to bolster social cohesion – or at least not weaken it.
