The rapid advancement of digital technologies has fundamentally reshaped modern life in ways once unimaginable; however, its impact is not always the same for everyone. While some enjoy the advantages of affordable access, others remain excluded, amplifying digital divides. Even for those who are connected, algorithms can trigger echo chambers, often intensifying polarization rather than fostering unity. Alongside these divides, ethical concerns such as privacy, bias, and digital rights are becoming pressing issues, calling for thoughtful and robust policies that champion fairness and transparency.

The ’Bright Prospect, Lingering Shadows’ is a UNDP Indonesia Policy Volume that addresses three critical topics necessary for an inclusive digital transformation: narrowing the digital divide, upholding ethical standards, and resolving polarization. The volume identifies and discusses key issues related to these three main concerns, explores potential solutions, and proposes policy recommendations while urging active participation from stakeholders in these efforts. Key recommendations include policies that prioritize access to the disadvantaged regions, elevating digital literacy, addressing disparities at the subnational levels, and developing an Indonesia Digital Inclusivity Index as a benchmark for progress toward inclusive digital transformation.

2023 Annual Report: #ProgressThatMatters
In 2023, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Indonesia delivered $108 million in programme results, driving transformative changes in climate, energy, governance, economy, and building resilience through innovative finance and digital technology, in collaboration with partners, including the Government of Indonesia, donors and development partners, civil society and private sector. This report highlights UNDP's works across Indonesia, including achievements, through an integrated approach of policy, programme, and knowledge sharing initiatives to amplify impact on people, planet, and prosperity.

UNDP’s programme is guided by the Country Programme Document (CPD) 2021-2025, which responds to and reflects the development priorities of the Government as envisaged in the Medium-Term National Development Plans (RPJMN).

UNDP with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, conducted a feasibility study to examine the potential of mobilizing innovative financing strategies to support migration in Indonesia. It explores possibilities of harnessing resources from both the public and private sectors. This includes tapping into diverse funding sources such as local and village-level funds, philanthropic contributions, investments from impact and angel investors, and donations from religious organizations.

This study presents viable opportunities for innovative migration financing in Indonesia, spanning various phases of the migration process—pre-departure, during migration, and post-return stages. The goal is to effectively bridge the financing gap in Indonesian migration, providing practical solutions to the financial barriers faced by many prospective migrants.
