Objectives, Process and Methodology

The ABND exercise's main objectives were:

To trigger a national dialogue on social protection with all key stakeholders in the country, while raising awareness on the social protection floor concept and increasing capacities in policy formulation and planning;
To identify priority areas for government intervention in the field of social protection and the necessary measures for the establishment of a more comprehensive, rights-based, and systemic social protection floor in Indonesia;
To support informed decision-making towards the future development of the national social protection floor while ensuring that the proposed new schemes and benefits do not put at stake the financial sustainability of the social security system as a whole;
To serve as a baseline against which the future and progressive realization of the SPF in Indonesia can be monitored.
