With the assistance of the world bank the GSSD Program is being implemented in a smaller scale (involving 59 local governments) with rather limited scope in Indonesia. The main implementing agency is The Ministry of the Environment. There is already a suggestion that with additional funding and assistance the program could be expanded to include 150 local governments with a much wider scope of work. Additional stakeholders in this multi-stakeholders partnership would include:
2. The Department of Home Affairs, Republic Indonesia
3. Sectoral departments of the Republic Indonesia, such as Department of Health, Department of Public Works, Department of Industry and Trade, etc.
4. Local governments (cities, regencies, municipalities)
5. Universities such as Pajajaran University, Parahyangan University, and Havard University (JFK School of Government) for research
6. NGOs and other civil society organizations
Each level will establish coordination mechanism respectively

According to the level of network, the partnership report consists of:
- local government report
- national report
According to the frequency:
- mid report
- annual report
Modality:
- hard copy report
- web-site

Links: The links of partnership/initiative will be established by the network respectively. At the moment the network has nor been established yet. Establishment of the link will be arranged with the relevant partnership/initiative, such as:
International Council for Local Environmental Initiative (ICLEI)
World Association of Cities and Local Authorities (WACLAC)
The Access Initiative (TAI

Level of implementation will consists of:
- Local city network at national level;
- National network at regional level, such as ASEAN and other countries
The implementing unit for the GGSD Program is at the local government level. At this level (municipality, prefecture, city, or regency) the public should be able to participle most directly with the government. When the local government within a particular nation achieve effective governance, true public participation and adherence to sustainable development principles, the entire nation can be expected to follow suit. The reverse direction has proven to be unsustainable. The basic assumption is that at a minimum the country must politically practice a democratic system, the people at grass root level has to effectively demand for better governance and effective implementation of sustainable development principles (for example, better public health and poverty eradication development programs). This demand must be balanced with good governance (sensitivity and ability to meet the demand). The process would be sustainable only if the concerned society benefit directly form the changes in short and medium term.

The Good Governance in Sustainable Development Program consists of three groups of activities:
A. Public Empowerment
The main objective of public empowerment are to encourage people to demand the local government for better governance and to initiate local initiatives as follows:
To increase the awareness of the public and society on the importance of understanding the main public concerns in their own area (for example: environment, slum dwellers, sanitation, etc);
To inform the public and society that their well-being depends on the level of public participation
To inform the public and society that participation will not expose them to risks; informing the public on the process of public participation, and to make available the latest and relevant information on the state of public concerns.
The activities may involve:
1. Development of public communication objective through the media dialogs
2. Involvement of political parties to ensure their members in the local parliament are sensitive to public demands
3. Continuing dialogs with members of local parliaments
4. Creating an effective Parliament Watch for Sustainable Development by involving the civil society
5. Providing incentives for public participation
B. Good Governance
The objective of this set of activities are to create local governments that are sensitive to demands of their public and to build the capacity to supply the demands. The activities would include the following:
1. Development of parameters for good governance (institution, reaction to civil society, ability to identify and deal with local issues, etc)
2. Baseline studies on the state of governance in local area
3. Capacity building based on the criteria mentioned above
4. Create competition based on performance in achieving the criteria
5. Development of other incentives to encourage good governance.
C. Local Partnership
Objective of this group of activities is to encourage multi-stakeholders partnership to increase the welfare of the people at the local level. The activities would involve the creation of a local institute for sustainable Development to organize activities that may increase public welfare through the assistance of business corporations. Some Chief Executive Officers of business corporations in Jakarta, Indonesia, are developing such activities. They are forming a "CEO Roundtable" that would establish an institute for implementing their corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, together with the public sector and the civil society. The institute forges a cooperation with the association of fishermen to develop a "poverty eradication and sustainable fishery project". Another project with a local community near Yogyakarta is to develop a "sustainable forest project".
