GIZ Indonesia & ASEAN

Wie blickt man in Indonesien auf Deutschland?   Wie werden in Indonesien die Bemühungen Deutschlands um das geopolitisch wichtige Land in Südostasien wahrgenommen? Welchen Stellenwert hat Deutschland heute für Indonesien? Erkennt Indonesien in Deutschland einen Partner für die Verfolgung gemeinsamer Interessen  und Werte?   Diese und ähnliche Fragen wurden in einer Serie von rund 40 Gesprächen mit indonesischen Persönlichkeiten aus den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Politik, Wissenschaft, Medien, Zivilgesellschaft, Kunst & Kultur, Religion und Sport beantwortet.   Indonesien ist im Wandel im Takt mit der rasant veränderden Welt, und somit verändern sich ebenfalls Elemente der Partnerschaften. Wieviel vom Vertrauten und Bewährten bleibt dieser Zeit relevant?   Dies und mehr in unserer Studie „Deutschland in den Augen Indonesiens - Eine strategische Partnerschaft auf dem Prüfstand“   Ebenfalls erhältlich auf unserer Website: https://lnkd.in/gBitKJjP Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH  #GIZindonesia #Indonesien #Deutschland

Kickstarting the Year with Strong Partnerships: GIZ-BNPB Finalizes ISASP Multi-year Work Plan Exciting news to start the year! GIZ Indonesia and ASEAN together with Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana (National Disaster Management Authority) have finalized the Annual Work Plan for the Integrated Solutions for Disaster Risk Management and Social Protection (ISASP) Project. 🎉 Deputy for System and Strategy of the BNPB Dr. Raditya Jati highlighted the importance of ensuring integrated Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) data across all levels of government. "I hope this initiative continues to grow, building commitment from the government, including at the regional level, and ensuring integrated ASP data. The goal is to guarantee the livelihood of communities before, during, and after disasters.” In the same vein, Cut Sri Rozanna, Commission Manager for ISASP, emphasized the need for institutional and technical capacity building. "Our task is to strengthen the institutional and technical capacity of all relevant stakeholders to implement the integrated and unified concept of adaptive social protection and jointly produce the innovation that is approachable, applicable, adaptable, accessible and sustainable." One of the key goals of this project is to develop innovative policies and economic incentive for Indonesia population, especially for those living in the prone areas, which NTB and South Kalimantan will pioneer the sustainable livelihood model. BNPB will also lead knowledge transfer to ensure the ISASP framework is effectively implemented. Let’s collaborate to shape a disaster-resilient future for Indonesia by strengthening adaptive social protection that safeguard communities before, during, and after crises! 💪 📝Find out more about the ISASP on https://lnkd.in/gQ9HQQBC #IntegratedSolutions #AdaptiveSocialProtection #DisasterRiskManagement #DisasterRiskReduction #DisasterPreparedness #ClimateChangeAdaptation #ClimateChangeMitigation #DisasterRiskFinancing #ClimateDisasterFinancing #Livelihood #SocialProtection #Germany #Indonesia #GIZ

🌿 Towards Greener Tourism at Borobudur Temple 🌿 Have you visited Borobudur Temple in Indonesia? As one of the largest tourist destinations, it generates an average of 4-8 tons of waste daily, with #SMEs playing a part. To tackle this challenge, the ASEAN-German cooperation project #3RproMar conducted a curation program for MSMEs that focused on the implementation of eco-friendly packaging as replacement of plastic bags. The outcome? Over 10 MSMEs are now committed to using sustainable packaging! 🌱 What’s even better? The Borobudur area is rich in natural resources like pandan leaves, banana fibers, and bamboo—ideal for crafting sustainable, eco-friendly products. To support greener practices and make the most of these resources, here are our key recommendations. 🏪 Create dedicated outlets for eco-friendly products 🛠️ Provide essential support facilities ♻️ Encourage MSMEs to adopt eco-friendly packaging 🤝 Foster collaboration between stakeholders to raise awareness Let's continue working together for a sustainable future! 🌍 #GreenTourism #SustainablePackaging #EcoFriendly #Borobudur #GIZ #Indonesia #ASEAN #Germany #WasteReduction
