INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

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.

GGGI and the Fiscal Policy Agency (FPA) implement the Green Climate Fund (GCF) readiness and preparatory support project (“the Readiness Project”) in Indonesia. The FPA is the National Designated Authority (NDA) of the GCF in Indonesia, i.e., the agency through which Indonesia and the GCF interact and communicate. In September 2022, the FPA started the 3-year Readiness Project “Enhancing Indonesia’s Access to International Climate Finance and Private Sector Investments for Climate Actions” (“Readiness III”) to support the NDA in enhancing national actors’ institutional capacities to build a pipeline of climate change projects and to increase country ownership. The NDA has selected GGGI as the Delivery Partner to implement this project.

Overall, the Readiness Project 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 readiness outcomes, including 1) established capacity of direct access applicants and direct access entities (DAEs) to meet and maintain the GCF accreditation standards, 2) the capacity to develop a pipeline of projects, and 3) effectively implement GCF-funded activities.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT

During the implementation of the Readiness project, the NDA GCF of Indonesia will develop several publications. The publications are varying from study reports, strategic documents, and guidelines that will be available at the NDA GCF Indonesia website (https://fiskal.kemenkeu.go.id/).

To ensure the readability and factuality of the publications as well as to maintain the quality of the documents, an editor is required to perform editing, copyediting, and proofreading of the final document.
