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 supports the Government of Indonesia in three focal areas: renewable
energy, green cities and special economic zones, and forest and land-based
mitigation and adaptation projects. The Program, known as the 'GoI-GGGI Green
Growth Program' (GGP), 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 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") and others.
GGGI and the Fiscal Policy Agency (FPA) implement the second Green Climate Fund
(GCF) readiness and preparatory support program ("the Readiness Project") in
Indonesia, which will end in December 2021. The Readiness Project aims to
strengthen the NDA and national actors' institutional capacities to build a
pipeline of climate change projects and enhance country ownership. The FPA is
GCF's National Designated Authority (NDA) in Indonesia, the agency through
which Indonesia and the GCF interact and communicate. As the NDA, it has
strategic oversight of all GCF related activities in the country, including
assuring the alignment of GCF investment decisions with national priorities in
climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Purpose of the Assignment
Indonesia's NDA plans to develop a multiple-year readiness proposal that
focuses on strategic support to further strengthen Indonesia's pipeline and
project development into high-quality bankable proposals and the implementation
of Indonesia's national climate finance strategy. A Readiness Needs Assessment
was conducted by GGGI using a detailed questionnaire. The findings from the
Readiness Needs Assessment will help the NDA formulate activities to address
the specific needs consistent with the GCF Readiness Program's objective. The
Needs Assessment will also provide the framework to develop a multiple-year
strategic readiness implementation request (funding proposal) aligned with the
GCF's Readiness Programme Strategy for 2019-2021.
Scope of Work
The Global Green Growth Institute seeks to hire an experienced consultant to
provide analysis of Readiness Needs Assessment and support multiple year
Readiness Proposal development. The Consultant will not be required to develop
the full Readiness Proposal, but instead, develop and provide written input to
several sections within the proposal. The Consultant will work based on
guidance from the NDA and GGGI Readiness Team.
The Consultant will be working remotely with possible requests for virtual
meetings to discuss the assignment.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:
1. Conduct and Write a Summary Report of Readiness Needs Assessment
The consultant is expected to conduct the Readiness Needs Assessment based on
questionnaires prepared by GGGI. The need assessment will be based on document
review, interviews with key stakeholders, and forthcoming stakeholder
consultations. The summary report will present an overview of Indonesia's
readiness situation in terms of the human, institutional, and technical
capacity and challenges to be able to effectively program, access, deploy and
monitor climate finance.
1. Elaborate the Country Situation Analysis
Based on the findings and recommendations in the Readiness Needs Assessment
report (refer to task 1), the consultant is expected to draft section 2
("Situation Analysis") of the Readiness Proposal template. Supported by GGGI
Readiness team and NDA team, the Consultant will lead the process of
elaboration on Indonesia's current situation in the context of climate change,
specifically regarding gaps in technical capacity and governance for climate
finance. The Consultant will also support the NDA in formulating the specific
Readiness needs that the proposal aims to address through the proposed
activities.
1. Provide technical assistance on the development of Logical Framework
Requests for readiness support should closely match needs and gaps identified
through the Readiness Needs Assessments. NDA Secretariat team supported by GGGI
Readiness team will lead the detailed development of Logical Framework. The
consultant is expected to provide written input on the development of the
framework, based on the "Situation Analysis" (refer to task 2). The consultant
is also expected to provide feedbacks to the draft of the Theory of change
(ToC) diagram, which helps articulate the linkages between outcomes, outputs,
