Development Co‑operation Profiles: Indonesia
Table of contents
Indonesia pursues its development co-operation as part of its foreign policy, emphasising equality, effectiveness, mutual benefit partnerships, and the pursuit of global peace and prosperity, in alignment with the 2030 Agenda. Indonesia’s approach is rooted in its dual role as a provider and a beneficiary of development co-operation. The country’s development co-operation is shaped by its history of South-South and triangular co-operation, building on its legacy as host of the Asia-Africa Conference in Bandung that served as the foundation of South-South co-operation in 1955. Indonesia’s development co-operation has been strengthened by the establishment of the Indonesian AID agency in 2019. Indonesia provides development co-operation through technical co-operation and financial support – notably expanding grants to developing countries – and its activities are regionally focused on Asia and Asia-Pacific, while also extending to partners in Africa and Europe.
This profile presents verified data on Indonesia’s development assistance allocation. See the Development Co‑operation Profiles.
In line with its “Golden Indonesia 2045” vision, Indonesia aims to strengthen its role on the global stage by using its geopolitical position to promote global co-operation. To realise its vision, Indonesia is guided by the National Medium-Term Development Plan for 2025-2029, which constitutes the first phase of Indonesia’s Long-term Development Plan 2025-2045. Established through Presidential Regulation No. 12, the National Medium-Term Development Plan for 2025-2029 aims to promote poverty and inequality reduction; economic growth; human resource, infrastructure and regional development; and environmental sustainability, both domestically and internationally. Indonesia pursues its international co-operation objectives through four modalities: (1) technical co-operation, encompassing project-based collaboration, joint programmes, capacity-building, and the dispatch of technical experts and humanitarian aid missions; (2) South-South co-operation, sharing good practices and joint initiatives with partner countries in areas such as agriculture, health, education and infrastructure; (3) triangular co-operation, facilitating partnerships between Indonesia, provider countries and international organisations to co-design and co-finance development initiatives; and (4) public-private partnerships, encouraging the Indonesian private sector to invest in other developing countries across infrastructure, manufacturing and services.
As part of its overall strategy, Indonesia continues championing global co-operation through active participation in international and regional platforms such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the Group of Twenty (G20), Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Indian Ocean Rim Association and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Indonesia has held the chairmanship of numerous of these organisations and hosted high-level summits, including the Asia-Africa Summit (2005), the G20 Summit (2022) and Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit (2023). Indonesia is the current co-chair of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation for the period 2023‑2026. It also engages with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and its committees in the context of OECD accession, and with the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) on development co-operation. These milestones underscore Indonesia’s commitment in contributing to global and regional solutions.
Indonesia advocates for innovative approaches that scale and accelerate national, regional and international implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and that advance sustainable development in line with environmental objectives.
Through the Tri Hita Karana initiative, Indonesia creates a conducive environment for private sector investment in development projects in sectors such as health, energy and disaster management, through direct funding and via public-private partnerships with multiple actors including government agencies, private partners and international organisations. The initiative champions the global blended finance agenda through the Tri Hita Karana Blended Finance Platform and Forums.
During its presidency of the G20 in 2022, Indonesia advanced the G20 Blended Finance Principles for developing countries, least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing states, advancing on the OECD-DAC Blended Finance Principles. Building on its G20 Presidency and the G20 Bali Leaders’ Declaration, in 2024, Indonesia inaugurated the G20 Bali Global Blended Finance Alliance at the 10th World Water Forum in Bali. The alliance serves as a global community to address the SDG gap through blended finance, accelerating investment in climate action and sustainable development.
Indonesia is also using green finance initiatives to support environmental sustainability. This includes investments in renewable energy projects and other green infrastructure, including by supporting the scaling up of green and blue bonds. Indonesia is the world’s largest green sukuk1 issuer and a market leader for sovereign green sukuk. It has issued USD 6.9 billion in green sukuk since 2018 and in May 2022 issued its 5th sovereign global green sukuk, which became the largest tranche ever printed globally and Indonesia’s first 10-year green sukuk tranche. In 2023, Indonesia launched the world’s first publicly offered sovereign blue bond in support of the blue economy, raising USD 150 million.

According to Indonesia’s 2026 Financial Notes and Proposed Budget, Indonesia’s international grant programme has significantly expanded over the last few years, from an estimated USD 2.2 million in 2021 to USD 18 million in 2024. Outlook expenditures for 2025 indicate a major increase at about USD 30 million, while the planned allocation for Indonesia’s Grant Management Program in 2026 amounts to USD 12 million.1
Indonesia actively engages with numerous development partners by bringing its technical expertise to triangular co-operation initiatives, particularly in LDCs, through five modalities (projects, joint programmes, capacity-building initiatives, dispatch of technical co-operation agents and humanitarian assistance) in priority sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, renewable energy, health, climate change, peace and security, and inclusive economic development. With this it fosters solidarity, promotes innovation and mobilises additional resources, all by responding flexibly and enhancing ownership and learning through inclusive, demand-driven partnerships.

Indonesia’s South-south and triangular co-operation is co-ordinated by the National Coordination Team for South-South and Triangular Co‑operation (NCT), established in 2010. The NCT consists of four key institutions: the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of State Secretariat. Together these four ministries provide strategic guidance and policy direction for Indonesia’s development co-operation agenda, while relevant sectoral line ministries implement their activities. The NCT is also responsible for conducting monitoring and evaluation of programmes, ensuring effective execution of South-South and triangular co-operation initiatives, and enhancing accountability and impact.
In addition, the Indonesian government established Indonesian AID in 2019. Operating as a public service agency under the Ministry of Finance, Indonesian AID is mandated to manage the Endowment Fund and to provide Indonesia’s international development assistance. Since its establishment, Indonesian AID has extended support to 87 countries in the form of grants and budget support and through scholarships. Indonesian AID is exploring the possibility of extending loans to foreign countries as part of its co-operation toolkit.
Other entities in Indonesia also conduct development co-operation activities, such as the National Zakat Board, which provides humanitarian assistance, or public universities, which provide scholarships.

← 1. See Graph 4.7 in 2026 Financial Notes and Proposed Budget. The grant management programme includes development co-operation grants, humanitarian assistance grants, and capacity‑building and technical co-operation grants. The important increase in 2025 is due to two factors: 1) the volume of grants was already rising sharply in 2024, creating a pipeline that peaked in 2025; 2) a significant expansion of grant activities was also scheduled for 2025, including international health support (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria in Timor-Leste). Refugee assistance; technical support for public financial management abroad and other additional co-operation programmes are increasing in scale.
