Mapping and projection of social development pillars of Sustainable Development Goals in Tomini Bay Region, Indonesia

\nThis study aims to map and project the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 2 targets in the Tomini Bay region, Indonesia. This study analyzes seven main SDGs Goal 2 indicators across 11 districts/cities and employs a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative secondary data analysis with qualitative assessments of regional policies and programs. The results showed significant variations in indicator achievement among regions. The North Sulawesi and Gorontalo Provinces demonstrated better-projected achievements than Central Sulawesi. Indicators for the prevalence of undernourishment and stunting are critical in most areas. Data limitation is a significant constraint, with only 1-5 of the 16 identifiable and projectable indicators. The study concluded that strengthening data collection systems, focused interventions in lowachieving areas, and inter-regional collaboration are necessary to accelerate the achievement of SDGs targets. These findings can serve as a foundation for local governments to formulate targeted sustainable development policies in the Tomini Bay region.\n
