SDGs 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions) aims to promote peaceful and inclusive societies, ensure access to justice for all, and build effective and accountable institutions at all levels. The focus of SDGs 16 goes beyond the mere absence of war to encompass systemic stability through:

1. Reduction of Violence: Significantly reduce all forms of violence and related deaths everywhere.

2. Access to Justice: Ensure equal access to justice for all citizens, including protection against violence against women and children.

3. Strong Institutions: Build transparent, corruption-free, and participatory institutions in decision-making.

4. Legal Identity: Provide legal identity for all, including universal birth registration by 2030.

Efforts to Accelerate Implementation in Indonesia: By the end of 2025, Indonesia had achieved approximately 61.4% to 62.5% of all SDG indicators. For SDGs 16, acceleration focuses on:

1. Digital Transformation of the Bureaucracy: Accelerating the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) to reduce corruption and increase public service accountability.

2. Integrated Protection System: Strengthening the handling and rehabilitation of victims of violence through cross-sectoral coordination, especially for women and children.

3. Strengthening Democracy and Participation: Encouraging the active involvement of communities and women in politics and strategic policy-making.

4. Inclusive Legal Reform: Enhancing the capacity of judicial institutions to make them more accountable and accessible to vulnerable groups, supported by international partnerships such as with UNDP and UNODC.

5. Village SDGs (Peaceful Villages with Justice): Localizing the targets of SDGs 16 through the Peaceful Villages with Justice program to ensure stability, security, and justice starting at the grassroots level.
