Background

The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office of the UK Government (FCDO) in collaboration with the Development and Planning Ministry (Bappenas) and the Government of Indonesia, have developed a partnership agreement in the Low Carbon Development Initiative (LCDI) since 2017. The first phase of LCDI was implemented in 2017-2021. Currently, the programme has entered LCDI Phase 2 (LCDI2) for four years. The LCDI Phase 1 focused on the preparation and implementation of the first national low-carbon development plan for Indonesia. One of the major milestones in LCDI Phase 1 is the Government of Indonesia launched a UK-funded report called “Low Carbon Development: A Paradigm Shift Towards a Green Economy in Indonesia” (the LCDI Report). This report has been successfully incorporated into the national Medium-Term Development (RPJMN) 2020-2024.

Oxford Policy Management Limited (OPML) has recently contracted by FCDO, with British Embassy Jakarta (BEJ) as its client service, as the Supplier to deliver and manage programme implementation of LCDI2 in collaboration with the Government of Indonesia (GoI), primarily Bappenas, along with relevant line ministries and the pilot provinces of the Programme. This programme will support implementation of the LCDI at both the national and subnational level to support the Government meet its emissions reductions targets in Indonesia’s medium term development plan. In specific, the programme covers:

• Building political support for low-carbon development within and outside of government
• Building knowledge and understanding of the LCDI approach among those who would be responsible for implementing it within GoI
• Supporting implementation of the LCDI approach, especially through provincial and national development plans
• Raising ambition to the highest levels set out in the LCDI report

The focus in this second phase is to promote the implementation of Low Carbon Development (Pembangunan Rendah Karbon – PRK), through the alignment of emission reduction targets, emission intensity, and green economic growth in the planning, funding, and implementation of national and sub-national development. Achieving this requires innovative, multi-sectoral approaches and collaboration with sub-national governments. As of 2019 – 2022, seven provinces have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs) with Bappenas, with four additional provinces (North Sumatra, Bengkulu, West Nusa Tenggara, and Maluku) joining in 2023. Maluku Province, in particular, is a top priority based on the ranking analysis from the second phase of the LCDI.
