2024 in Numbers: UN in Indonesia edition

What a year it’s been! 2024 has been all about growth, collaboration, and making a real difference together. Thanks to all the incredible people across Indonesia, the UN in Indonesia was able to do so much this year. Here’s a look at the numbers that tell the story of an amazing journey featuring YOU.

26 UN Agencies, 17 Goals

This year, 26 different UN agencies worked side by side to make change happen. Together with the government, educational institutions, civil society organisations, media, private sector and stakeholders, we’ve been able to run impactful projects across Indonesia.

Empowering youth of Indonesia 

Indonesia’s youth are the future, and we’ve been all in on empowering them. Thirty six visits from and to universities and youth organizations and connected with over 3,000 university students. That’s not all—13 school visits reached around 1,700 students.

Celebrating together at 123 offline events

We brought 15,000+ participants together at 123 events, including over 8,200 youth. At the International Youth Day Event, 830 youth from across Indonesia step up to talk about how to leverage sustainable development in the country, proving that the next generation is ready to lead.

2024 was also a year to celebrate. The UN Day exhibition brought in over 1,000 visitors, 3 iconic landmarks were lit in UN blue to shine a light on global cooperation, and 11 videotrons all over Jakarta displayed the message of the United Nations. Nine offline exhibitions welcomed over 21,000 visitors, including more than 3,000 youth. Special moments like the Children Literacy Festival, the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Human Rights Day, and the Aceh Tsunami Commemoration brought over 3,400 people together to learn and reflect.

One of the coolest things this year? The comic strip competition! Over 50 participants joined, sharing their creativity on themes like climate change, digital innovation, and global peace. 9 comics were chosen as winners, reminding us that change can start with something as simple as a story. Over 50 attendees gathered at blue-lit Monumen Nasional for the UN Day and admired the winning comics.

Reaching millions digitally

We’ve also been connecting with even more people online. Across social media and our website, the UN in Indonesia reached over 27 million people each month through posts, videos, or stories that resonate with people everywhere. But there’s more to it—over 5,000 news stories covered the UN’s activities in Indonesia, making sure our work was shared far and wide through mass media channels.
