How can you make a difference?

Indonesia is one of the world's largest and most geographically complex countries with a population of 284.4 million, 28% of which are children. It is a vast archipelagic nation spread across thousands of islands. Its geography, combined with decentralized administration across provinces and districts, means that public services must reach populations living in highly varied settings, from major urban centres to remote, isolated communities.

Indonesia has made broad social and economic progress, with stronger national capacity and improved conditions for children, although substantial inequalities remain.

Areas of progress

Economic and institutional development:

Indonesia has developed into a large upper middle-income economy with increasingly capable national institutions and a decentralized system that brings many decisions closer to local populations.

Child-focused policy and systems:

The country has strengthened its policy framework and public systems for children, including health, nutrition, education, child protection, water and sanitation, and social protection.

Access to essential services has improved overall, contributing to better outcomes for many children and families.

Commitment to equity and the Sustainable Development Goals:

National development priorities increasingly recognize the need to reduce poverty, improve human capital, and address disparities affecting children.

Emergency and resilience capacity:

Indonesia has continued to build experience and systems for disaster risk reduction and emergency response, which is particularly important given its exposure to natural hazards and climate-related shocks.

However, averages conceal substantial disparities. Children in poorer households, remote and underserved locations, and marginalized groups are more likely to face overlapping disadvantages in health, nutrition, education, protection, water and sanitation, and social protection.
