Abstract

The SDGs provide a global policy framework for regulatory actions at national, regional and international levels. However, when it comes to how to locally implement these goals it is important to understand the context of the local reality.

This paper has two objectives. It seeks to critically analyse how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) goals are framed by civil society organizations (CSO) in Indonesia in relation to their work. It also seeks to unravel the framing of challenges these civil society organizations identify when working with gender equality and female empowerment in the context of female entrepreneurs. To get an understanding of how local CSO’s interpret and integrate SDGs into their practical work and what challenges they identify, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight people working at seven civil society organizations. Interpretative policy analysis and framing were used to uncover what frames were present in the interviews.

The findings in this research indicated that the SDGs are framed differently by different actors where some applied them more practically than others. The framing of the challenges was often similar but depending on what the area the organizations focused on, different frames were highlighted. (Less)
