Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is the UN’s global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life, as envisaged by 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We are on the ground in more than 170 countries and territories, working with governments and people on their own solutions to global and national development challenges to help empower lives and build resilient nations. The UNDP Indonesia Country Programme 2026-2030 developed in partnership with the Indonesian Government addresses the unfinished business of the Millennium Development Goals and support national efforts to advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
The Coca Cola Foundation (TCCF) Plastics Circularity Project is a regional initiative aimed at strengthening plastic waste management systems and advancing the transition toward a circular economy across ten Asian countries: India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Maldives, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. These countries face varying levels of plastic pollution challenges and gaps in waste management infrastructure. By improving recycling systems, reducing plastic leakage, and promoting more sustainable waste management practices, the project seeks to contribute to better environmental protection, enhanced public health, and stronger community resilience.
In Indonesia, the project focuses on strengthening low‑carbon development, sustainable natural resources management, and disaster resilience through inclusive and gender‑responsive approaches. The project aims to strengthen the social, economic, and institutional foundations of Indonesia’s circular economy by empowering waste workers and improving community waste management systems across seven implementation sites: (1) Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area, (2) North Sumatera, (3) South Kalimantan, (4) Bali, (5) East Java, (6) South Sulawesi, and (7) Labuan Bajo.
This objective is pursued through five interconnected outputs that together support more inclusive and resilient circularity across the project’s target areas. These outputs focus on strengthening the capacity of waste workers, improving waste collection, and recycling systems, expanding financial pathways for community-based waste enterprises, enhancing institutional and policy environments, and strengthening knowledge management and public outreach. Through these components, the project contributes to building local capacities that can be adapted, scaled, and replicated.
