This research is about building the spirit of governance in realizing the Village SDGs, by conducting an initial study of the SDGs in the Province of Bali. The aim of this research is to find out the practice of SDGs in policy and empirically in development. The research method used was a qualitative research approach with data collection techniques consisting of interviews, literature studies and field observations. The informants were determined purposively consisting of 9 people. The data analysis technique used was the Miles, Huberman, and Shaldana (2014) model. This study found that the provincial government of Bali has responded to global calls and central government policies regarding the importance of SDGs practice by issuing the Bali Governor Regulation Number 39 of 2019. There are 4 SDGs points that have been programmed while their elaboration at the district/city to village level is still hampered by the incomplete Village SDGs data. Keywords: Millennium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, Governance 1. Introduction The commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is called the Sustainable Development Goals (TPB) in Indonesia, emphasizes the concerns of all parties regarding the worsening condition of the earth and life on it (Santoso, 2019). The term sustainable development was first used in 1987, in a report entitled “Our Common Future”. The report defines the concept of sustainable development as a global effort to “meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland, 1987 in Feiring, et al., 2017). The SDGs or TPB is a global development agenda which has a preparation that involves many countries, expanded funding sources, emphasis on human rights in poverty alleviation, stakeholder involvement, as well as the principle of inclusion and no one is left behind. This is a transformative agenda that requires change at all levels, to ensure that it becomes a reality for all countries and all people. Feiring et al (2017) further stated that the final outcome of the 2030 Agenda will depend on how this agenda is implemented at the national and local levels. This statement shows the urgency of public policy and its implementation which is expected to be able to transform the SDGs agenda into reality. In Indonesia, the term sustainable development goals (TPB) has been officially introduced since 2017 through the stipulation of Presidential Regulation Number 49 of 2017 concerning the Implementation of Achieving Sustainable Development Goals. This Presidential Regulation mandates that the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals be carried out with universal, integrated, inclusive and transparent principles to ensure that every person is included, namely “No One Left Behind” (Bappeda Province of Bali, 2020). In other words, this Presidential Regulation emphasizes the importance of all stakeholders participating in the effort to realize the goals of the SDGs. Starting from the above background, this article examines the urgency of the spirit of governance in realizing the Village SDGs. 2. Literature Review 1) Transformation of MDGs (2005-2015) into SDGs (2016-2030) On August 2, 2015, at the United Nations Headquarters, New York, 193 countries agreed on a new global development document entitled Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. On September 25-27, 2015, representatives of 193 UN country members were followed up by holding a Sustainable Development Summit meeting. The meeting agreed and ratified a document called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global development agenda that contains 17 goals and is divided into 169 targets, which are interrelated, mutually influencing, inclusive and integrated with each other, universal or not one-to-one. This “No One Left Behind” aims for an achievement period of up to 2030. The SDGs are a commitment of the international community, a new milestone in the development of countries, continuing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), for a better human life (UN, 2015). Compared to the concept of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the SDGs are more comprehensive, for example (1) Prepared by involving more countries with universal goals for both developed and developing countries, (2) Expanding funding sources, in addition to assistance from developed countries as well as private sources, (3) Emphasizing on human rights so that discrimination does Paper ID: SR211018184020 DOI: 10.21275/SR211018184020 973
