On 22 December 2011, the Republic of Indonesia joined the SUN Movement with a letter of commitment from HE Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih, the Minister of Health. At the time, Indonesia had begun the ‘First 1,000 Days of Life Movement’ which was launched by four government ministers. The ‘First 1,000 Days of Life Movement’ included objectives cemented in an official policy framework that mirrored the World Health Assembly 2025 targets on nutrition. A central multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral coordinating SUN Forum had been established across key constituencies and the National Food and Nutrition Action Plan (2011 – 2015) served as the common results framework for addressing nutrition.
The Government launched Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 2017 on community movement for a healthy life (Germas), with a multi-sectoral approach that involves 18 line ministries and institutions. The Germas Movement is aligned with and supports the implementation of the SUN Movement in Indonesia. The President of Indonesia’s strong commitment to nutrition improvement was strongly show- cased during his presentation of the 10 Key Messages on Health Issues, at the 2017 National Coordination Meeting for Health (Rakerkesnas), along with the support of the Office of Presidential Staff (KSP). Since 2016, the World Bank has co-lead the Donor and UN Country Network on Nutrition (DUNCNN), with UNICEF as the co-convener. The SUN Business Network Indonesia has expanded their membership to include businesses working on nutrition-sensitive programmes.

The multi-sector platform approach of the Movement has been accommodated in the RPJMN 2015-2019. The Government has set five indicators (anaemia, stunting, wasting, obesity, exclusive breastfeeding) as a reference for all stakeholders contributing to the acceleration of nutrition improvement. Monitoring and evaluation of progress in implementing action plans is limited to government sectors. There is the need for a mechanism to monitor and evaluate the services delivered by non-government sectors.
