Introduction:
Headquartered in Seoul, 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 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.
GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world. These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to countries’ development priorities. The organization also focuses on knowledge development and management activities which build a strong theoretical and empirical basis for green growth, while providing concrete options and guidance for policymakers; as well as building the conditions for public and private green infrastructure investments.
GGGI is supporting the Government of Indonesia in three focal areas: energy, infrastructure projects within special economic zones, and forest and land-based mitigation projects. The Program, known as the 'GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program' (GGP), aims to demonstrate that green investments is possible and can become the norm both for investors and for planners, ultimately improving the quality of growth and development. Through the Program, GGGI collaborates with BAPPENAS, the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Environment and Forestry, and PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (“PT SMI”).
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is a financing mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and is specifically established to provide (financial) support so that countries like Indonesia can reach its emission reduction targets. The GCF can provide (financial) support to Indonesia by channeling funds to green projects and programmes. Such projects can be designed and submitted to the GCF through both domestic and international accredited entities as well as private sector – if such projects are in line with the country strategy and legislation. The main communication channel between the GCF and countries is the nationally appointed National Designated Authority (NDA), which is hosted by the Fiscal Policy Agency of the Ministry of Finance in Indonesia.
In efforts to expand the country’s climate change project pipeline, the FPA as NDA has announced a Call for Project Concept Notes (PCN) from August to October 2019. The Call for PCN becomes a way to invite all stakeholders to submit PCNs on potential programs/projects of the agency/organization/institution. Through this process, the NDA expects to encourage submission of high-quality PCNs from Indonesia to the GCF and in turns expand the GCF project pipeline in Indonesia. The full cycle of the Call for PCNs has been concluded with (D)AEs’ submitted interests to potential projects.
From this process, there is a concept note who has received positive response from one of the DAEs. However, the concept note still requires strengthening in order to achieve high-quality, GCF-standard concept note.
