In her remarks, the Dean of the Faculty of Law at UGM, Dahliana Hasan, S.H., M.Tax., Ph.D., stated that the extension of this MoU represents a continuation of the partnership established in 2023. “Through this extension of our partnership, we hope that our collaboration with Badranaya Partnership can expand further.

This collaboration is also aligned with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 on quality education through the strengthening of legal education, Goal 16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions through legal research and outreach, and Goal 17 on partnerships for the goals. Thus, this collaboration not only benefits the academic community but also contributes to sustainable development at the national and global levels.
