The Periodic Report is the first comprehensive written report on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions in Indonesia ever since Indonesia ratified the UNESCO 2005 Convention through the Presidential Regulation No. 78 of 2011. As a State Party that has ratified the Convention, Indonesia is obligated to submit a quadrennial periodic report to the UNESCO Secretariat in which it describes various policies and measures taken by the Government to implement the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions.
