Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) as a Mandatory Legislative Drafting Method for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia

PURPOSE: This study's objectives are the analysis of the urgency of RIA, the problems in achieving the SDGs and their solutions. APPROACH: This study uses the normative legal analysis method with secondary data. FINDINGS: The results showed that there is an urgency for Indonesia to implement RIA in preparing its laws and regulations to achieve the SDGs. Practically, the RIA method is not a must -use method in preparing Indonesia's law and is not a priority. Several institutions encourage people to use RIA and this must be encouraged so that RIA can be inherently implemented before making decisions to make laws and regulations. RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS: The RIA method is considered a breakthrough that can be used as a guide for making good laws and regulations. In the future, the House of Representatives (DPR), as RIA guideline drafters, may include the SDGs as one of the parameters in forming regulations.
