Indonesia

Indonesia’s growing economy, young democracy and location among key international maritime straits make it an important trade and security partner to the United States. Indonesia constitutes the world’s third largest democracy and fourth most populous nation, with the largest economy in Southeast Asia and some of the world’s most diverse natural resources. Yet Indonesia is home to a disproportionate amount of the world’s extreme poor. More than half of the world’s extreme poor live in just five countries, Indonesia included. 

 

USAID works with the Indonesian government, local leaders, academia, the private sector, civil society and development partners to help Indonesia realize its national development goals and become a stronger partner in addressing fundamental global challenges. The close bilateral relationship is reflected in the Strategic Partnership affirmed in 2015 to deepen ties between the two nations.
