Page 220 - BUKU STRENGTHENING THE INDONESIAN PARLIAMENTARY DIPLOMACY FADLI ZON

This major toolkit was previously launched during the World Bank and IMF Global Parliamentary
Conference in April 2017. It was also piloted through a regional workshop in Jakarta last year,
with participants ranging from Members of Parliament from South and Southeast Asia.
We are now actively promoting and encouraging all Parliamentarians to make use of this
Handbook as a valuable resource in achieving SDGs targets.

As a final message, I would like to reiterate that at the end of the day, the only way to measure
the real success of SDGs is for people to feel that their lives have markedly improved. If they
are faced with corruption in their daily lives, this will not happen. Let us work to help break
the culture of corruption, and help ensure that the implementation of SDGs is effective and
accountable.

Before finishing my speech, allow me to once again invite you to use this handbook, and as
practical tool to promote engagement on 2030 Agenda. I truly believe that Parliamentarians are
surely able to accelerate this process and be the game-changer in supporting SDGs.

I hope this forum is a huge success, and will support us to take positive steps towards responsible
and sustainable development for all.
