About SNV 

SNV is a global development partner rooted in the African and Asian countries where we operate. With 60 years of experience and a team of approximately 1,600 people, it is our mission to strengthen capacities and catalyze partnerships that transform agri-food, energy, and water systems to enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.

 

SOLUSI Project and Objective of the Assignment 

Inadequate landscape management and unsustainable land use practices threaten Indonesia’s ecosystems. SOLUSI is a project funded by the International Climate Initiatives to mitigate the degradation of land and seascapes (LaS) in Indonesia, increasing the resilience of ecosystems and thereby promoting climate-resilient livelihoods. The project promotes sustainable business models, ecotourism, integrated waste management, access to sustainable finance, and supply chain partnerships. Upscaling will enhance national planning processes and promote a strong interest among farmers, including young people, women, and indigenous groups.

 

To develop climate-resilient livelihoods in the integrated LaS, SNV will partner with local companies to establish sustainable business models through a Public-Private Community Partnership (PPCP) across three provinces. The PPCP should promote a blue or green economy and enhance biodiversity in the area. By implementing innovative finance strategies, the goal is to attract investment to at least three PPCP business models, totalling EUR 1.8 million in 2028.

 

To support these initiatives, a consultant is needed with the following objectives of the assignment:

 

Objective 1: Identify and assess potential sources of additional and innovative finance, as well as the readiness of financial institutions and private sector actors to adopt environmental and social (E&S) risk management in the target provinces.

Objective 2: Conduct assessments of financial institutions and private sector capacity to implement E&S-aligned financial practices.

Objective 3: Facilitate access to innovative financing for commodity supply chain actors through capacity building, partnership development, and actionable recommendations that support PPCP implementation under the SOLUSI Project.
