Indonesia and IsDB on future cooperation Cooperation through RL supported by IsDB has been a considerable success, resulting in gains for Indonesia as well as for the beneficiary countries and IsDB. The BAPPENAS has since gone on to promote development cooperation with Morocco to enhance capability in the formulation and packaging of TT, DT and Td vaccines in support of regional self-reliance, in particular the Sub-Sahara region. The initi- ative for development cooperation is based on Indonesia’s competencies and expertise in vaccine production, acknowl- edged by many countries in the world. Given the success of development cooperation, Indonesia has offered to expand the scope of the RL MoU by adding more sectors to the programme, resulting in the following areas of cooperation: agriculture and fisheries; health and population; pharmaceutical; technical vocational education and training; planning and budgeting; microfinance; trans- portation; appropriate technology, industry, trade; disaster risk reduction and mitigation; and Syari’a financing. The proposal recognises the importance of RL for Indonesia to achieve the national agenda in developing SSTC while also growing cooperation between developing countries.
