BACKGROUND

Based in Seoul, Republic of Korea, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as “green growth”, which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies and green investment projects that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

Currently, GGGI supports the Government of Indonesia (GoI) under the joint GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program (GGP, “the Program”). The Program aims to demonstrate that green investments can become the norm both for investors and planners, ultimately improving the quality of economic development for more environmental sustainability and social inclusion. Through the Program, GGGI collaborates with the Ministry of Development Planning (BAPPENAS), the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (“PT SMI”) and others.

In September 2022, the Fiscal Policy Agency (FPA), Ministry of Finance, started this 3-year GCF Multiyear Readiness and Preparatory Support Program (“the Readiness Program”) to strengthen their role as the National Designated Authority (NDA) of Indonesia for the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The Readiness program is funded by the GCF. The Readiness program will help the NDA to enhance national actors’ institutional capacities to build a pipeline of climate change projects and to increase country ownership. The NDA has selected GGGI as the Readiness Delivery Partner to implement this Program on “Enhancing Indonesia's Access to International Climate Finance and Private Sector Investments for Climate Actions”.

Overall, the Readiness Program aims to mobilize international climate finance and private sector investment to close the financing gap across the priority sectors identified by the Government of Indonesia. It consists of a range of activities with the objective of achieving five readiness outcomes:
