To accomplish the SDGs, both developed and developing countries must adopt the SDGs. SDGs consist of 17 goals that address a wide variety of sustainable development issues. The objective of this study was to analyze the roles of ICT in accelerating the achievement of the SDGs, to investigate in which number of SGDs the ICT can be utilized to accelerate financial inclusion, and to identify the success factors toward ICT-enabled financial inclusion. This study employed a qualitative research design by using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Secondary data gathered from various resources related to the research topic, such as national journals, international journals, proceedings, books, reports, and other relevant scientific sources from 2016 to 2022 were used in this study. The finding of the study highlights the importance of ICT in accelerating the implementation in all of the 17 SDGs. In relation to SDGs in financial inclusion, ICT has an essential role in SDG 1 (ending poverty), SDG 5 (gender equality), SDG 8 (small businesses and entrepreneurship), and SDG 9 (sustainable infrastructure). Some factors that affect the success of ICT-enabled financial services include policy framework between financial institutions and mobile providers, adequate financial and technical resources, and, a collaborative effort among banks, operators, and agents.

INTRODUCTION Sustainable development is development that attempts to improve the quality of life for people all over the world, both current and future generations, without using natural resources beyond the earth's capacity and carrying capacity (Mensah, 2019). In September 2015, 193 UN member nations decided in a high-level conference at the UN headquarters to use the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for development agendas and political strategies for the next 15 years, from 2016 to 2030 (Bexell & Jönsson, 2017). To accomplish the SDGs, both developed and developing countries must adopt the SDGs (Kawakubo et al., 2018). The SDGs are made up of 17 goals that address a wide variety of sustainable development issues (Figure 1). Figure 1. Sustainable Development Goals The list of 17 goals in the SDGs is as follows. First is poverty with the aim to end poverty in all its forms everywhere. Second is food with the aim to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. The third is health with the aim to ensure a healthy life and promote health/well-being for all at all ages. Fourth is education with the aim to ensure quality, inclusive and fair education, increase opportunities for lifelong learning for all. Fifth are women with the aim of achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. Sixth is water with the aim of ensuring the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Seventh is energy with the aim of ensuring access to affordable (purchasable), reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Eighth is economy with the aim to promote sustainable and inclusive economic growth; full participation in productive work, decent work for all. Ninth is Infrastructure with the aim to build durable/strong infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and support innovation. Tenth is inequality with the aim of reducing inequality within and
