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 areas: renewable 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 are possible
and can become the norm both for investors and for policy makers, ultimately
improving the quality of economic 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") and
others
GGGI and the Fiscal Policy Agency (FPA) implement the second Green Climate Fund
(GCF) readiness and preparatory support project ("the Readiness Project") in
Indonesia. 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 the National Designated Authority
(NDA) of the GCF in Indonesia, i.e. the agency through which Indonesia and the
GCF interact and communicate. As the NDA, FPA 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.
