Abstract
ABSTRACT Memorandum of Understanding is a new blueprint in every sector of Aceh development, including politics, economy, and social. The MoU itself is the foundation of the enactment of the 2006 Law, Section 11, on the Acehnese Government. This Law enables the central government to significantly grant political decentralization for Aceh. As the result, it would enable the Acehnese to establish local parties, as the political tool of delivering the aspirations, besides national parties situated in other regions in Indonesia. On that Law, the opportunity to optimally actualize gender participation or affirmative action on political activity is becoming possible. The political decentralization awarded to the Acehnese government is considered relevant with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly on gender equality aspect. The gender equality is also existing on the Article 75, Section 2, on the Law of Acehnese government. It asserts that political parties have to provide thirty per cents allocations for female representatives. It is expected that SDGs could empower gender and constitute Gender and Development (GAD) within the Acehnese government. In consequence, it is hoped that the post-war construction could be optimally implemented in every field, notably the representation of women in politics, and maximized the gender equality role for better and prestigious Aceh development.
