In order to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs goals, Presidential Instruction (Inpres) Number 3 of 2010 concerning the Just Development Program has been issued, which is addressed to Ministers, Governors, Regents and Mayors to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs.

On the basis of this Presidential Instruction, the Government has prepared a Road Map for Accelerating MDGs Achievement in Indonesia in 2010-2015. At the regional level, a Regional Action Plan (RAD) has been completed to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs in 2011-2015 and is stipulated through a Governor's Regulation.

To provide information regarding the progress that has been achieved by the province as a commitment to realizing the achievement of the MDGs targets for its people, the Provincial Government has prepared the 2014 MDGs Monitoring & Evaluation Report. This report will briefly outline the conditions and trends as well as important efforts to accelerate the achievement of the goals up to the position in 2013, so that it can be used as a basis for preparing the activities needed to accelerate the 2015 MDGs targets. For this purpose, it is necessary to hold a Socialization on the Preparation of the 2013 MDG Achievement Report while continuing the activities carried out in 2013, facilitated by the Bappeda of East Kalimantan Province.

In an effort to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs targets, targets that have not yet been institutionalized in planning and budgeting in the regions need to be equalized in perception among managers. In this regard, socialization is needed to increase capacity, both at national, provincial and district/city levels in setting MDG targets and indicators and integrating them into Regional Government Work Plans (RKPD).

Regency and city RAD MDGs are very important in efforts to accelerate the achievement of MDGs targets because districts and cities are the direct implementers of various programs and to support the acceleration of MDGs achievement. For this reason, all districts and cities throughout East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan need to prepare the MDGs RAD.

Furthermore, in order to create a common understanding regarding how to prepare the MDGs RAD and its matrix, it is necessary to hold a MDGs RAD Preparation Workshop for Bappeda districts and cities throughout East Kalimantan and North Kalimantan as coordinators of MDGs planning and budgeting in the regions, especially in the preparation of the matrix. Then, based on the workshop, it is hoped that the district/city Bappeda can coordinate the relevant SKPDs to be able to prepare an MDGs RAD matrix which includes the 7 MDGs goals.

Aim of the activity :
