SDG 16: PEACE, JUSTICE, AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS
Within the framework of the SDGs, institutions and governance for sustainable development require the achievement of several targets, especially in maintaining peace so that development can be carried out sustainably, resulting in sustainable prosperity.
At this time, there are still many countries whose parts or all of their territories are in a state of conflict, so that the people cannot carry out socio-economic activities to improve their welfare. The community does not have time to build institutions that can develop governance for sustainable prosperity, as a prerequisite for the nation to build sustainably for families and future generations. Likewise, a society that has a sense of inclusion, has a sense of justice and has the ability to build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels is also needed to ensure fair governance for all, current and future generations. These prerequisites are needed for the implementation of sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs.
