With its 108,000 km of tropical sea coastline and more than 17,500 islands, Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, making it one of the areas richest in marine and land biodiversity. Its geographical location also makes it one of the countries most exposed to natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc.) and the impacts of climate change (higher temperatures, rising sea levels, and floods).
Indonesia’s economy is ranked top in Southeast Asia and 16th worldwide.
The country, which is a member of the G20, has shown continuous economic growth since the Asian crisis of 1997 and the democratization of the regime in 1998. This growth, combined with a tripling of the population in 60 years, has created opportunities as well as significant challenges that include a growing demand for energy and transport, rapid urbanization, overexploitation of natural resources, and environmental pollution.
In line with these challenges and Indonesia’s sustainable development priorities, AFD is supporting the country in its low-carbon development as part of a just and resilient transition.
The AFD field office in Jakarta, opened in 2007, is attached to the Southeast Asia Regional Office based in Bangkok.
