Village Development Around Forests

Geographical, cultural and social conditions greatly affect the leading economic sectors that are considered to have the potential to be developed.

Since 2020, the Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration Ministry has used the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a reference for village development. The village SDGs are used as general guidelines for the use of village funds.

SDGs and village SDGs cannot be separated from their roots, namely the concept of sustainable development. There are three pillars supporting sustainable development, namely economic progress, ecological sustainability and social justice. The village SDGs divide these into 18 goals and targets, but the big umbrella is still the three pillars of sustainable development that must be seen as a whole.
