The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Indonesian economy and society. As a result, some of the past gains in socio-economic improvements have been compromised. In view of eventual recovery, leaders discuss pathways to build back better and share visions to realize an inclusive society that leaves no one behind.
Indonesia has overcome many crises in the past including economic shocks
and natural disasters. The nation always demonstrated its resilience to
difficult times and re-emerged stronger from the past crises.
Collaboration among the government, workers, employers and civil society
organizations have been tested repeatedly during challenging times in
the past. Further, an increasing number of well-educated youth starting
social enterprises and contributing to social causes. Resilience has
been built within. Tapping Indonesia’s strength for a desired inclusive
recovery from the pandemic would require consorted efforts among
stakeholders and effective matching of social actors with available
resources.
Against this backdrop, the Government of Indonesia
and the United Nations (UN) renew our commitment to recover better from
the pandemic – while leaving no one behind. The both parties organize a
high-level event to discuss pathways to an inclusive recovery from the
pandemic and invite leaders and social actors to join the dialogue. The
webinar is funded by the United Nations COVID-19 Response and Recovery
Multi-Partner Trust Fund and implemented in partnership with TEMPO Media
Group.
