Background
 
Indonesia is playing an important role on the international stage. As an
active member of the G20, the Global Partnership for Effective Development
Cooperation (GPEDC) and the High-Level Panel on the Global Development
Framework beyond 2015, the country has taken responsibility in shaping global
policies. One key element of this development is the heavy engagement of
Indonesia in the area of South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) which
also directly corresponds to the Sustainable Development Goals; goal 17 in
particular. 
To further improve the coordination and also to develop binding
standards for the related institutions in implementing their programs in SSTC,
a National Coordination Team for South-South and Triangular Cooperation (NCT)
has been established. This team comprises of the Ministry of National
Development Planning (Badan/Kementerian Perencanaan Pembangunan
Nasional/BAPPENAS), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kementerian Luar Negeri,
KemLu), the Ministry of Finance (Kementerian Keuangan, KemKeu) and the Ministry
of State Secretariat (Kementerian Sekretariat Negara, SetNeg).
Since its establishment in 2010, the National Coordination Team (NCT)
has successfully developed coordination mechanisms between its member
ministries, line ministries and other relevant partners and stakeholders.
Through the establishment and continuous development of the NCT Indonesia has
been able to strengthen its international position in the SSTC sector. Further,
the current Medium-term National Development Plan (Rencana Pembangunan Jangka
Menengah Nasional/RPJMN 2015-2019) defines SSTC as one of the priorities of the
country and strengthening of the capacity and capability of the NCT members as
one of the strategies for the reinforcement of Indonesian SSTC.
The NCT reached a vital point of its development where an overview over
achievements and challenges is conducive to its further progress. During a
meeting of the NCT-members it was agreed to examine NCT’s capacities and
experiences in order to facilitate institutional learning. It was agreed that
the joint Indonesian-German Cooperation project SSTC/NGG will support NCT in
this activity.
