The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)
GmbH is a German international cooperation enterprise for sustainable
development with worldwide operations.
Indonesia has played an important role in various 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. Considering that Germany and Indonesia have engaged in global fora and also have a long standing partnership in development areas, both countries shall continue to join forces to achieve their shared interests. The network of global development partners is one vehicle where responsibilities and
knowledge can be shared between

In this regard, Indonesia has a long tradition of
South-South Cooperation. The National
Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2010-2014

the
institutional aspect, including coordinations
among the related institutions. Indonesia is currently working on the process to reform the
governmental structures and procedures of SSTC. This process will be continued under the RPJMN 2015-2019, a
national plan that supports Indonesia’s role in SSTC.
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 (NCT) has been established. This team comprises the Ministry
of National Development Planning (Kementerian Perencanaan
Pembangunan Nasional/Bappenas), the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs (Kementerian Luar Negeri), the Ministry of Finance (Kementerian
Keuangan) and
the Ministry of State Secretariat (Kementerian Sekretariat Negara).
