Scope of Work
Activity Title : Climate Financing Training for Project Staff in Indonesia
Location : Kupang City
Duration : Two days
1. Background
Achieving meaningful climate action in Indonesia necessitates strong engagement and support from local stakeholders, particularly local government. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) in Indonesia, committed to localization and collaborative partnerships, aims to enhance its staff's capacity to facilitate local stakeholders' access to climate finance for impactful climate action. Recognizing the complexities and context-specific nature of climate finance within Indonesia, this training will equip CRS staff and potentially implementing partners with the knowledge and understanding of national mechanisms and funding sources. This will bridge the gap between intricate climate finance systems and the practical realities of local development planning, empowering local actors, especially local government, to unlock funding, navigate regulations, and align projects with regional priorities (RAD-GRK/RAD-API). Ultimately, this training is crucial for building strong partnerships, developing locally relevant and fundable proposals, and driving successful and sustainable climate outcomes on the ground in Indonesia.
2. Objective
The overall objective of this training is to build organizational capacity by increasing CRS staff knowledge and understanding of the climate finance system within the Indonesian context, with a specific focus on engaging local stakeholders and accessing relevant funding streams.
3. Specific Objective
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
a. Identify key climate finance sources, instruments and mechanisms relevant to Indonesia and accessible to local actors (government and NGOs), such as national budget allocations, specific grants, bonds, public-private partnerships, blended finance, and village funds to enable climate action for mitigation and adaptation in Indonesia.
b. Explain stakeholder roles: Explain the importance of different actors and stakeholders in Indonesia's climate finance landscape, with a deep dive into the specific roles and responsibilities of local government (e.g., planning, budgeting, permitting, implementation, monitoring).
c. Outline coordination and engagement strategies to work collaboratively with local government and other local stakeholders (communities, CSOs, local businesses) in developing and implementing climate finance proposals that align with local development plans and regulations and navigate the basic processes of working with local government to access financing.
4. Target Participants
The primary target participants for this training are CRS Indonesia staff, including project managers, program officers, and MEAL staff from the CAPACities and CORRECT/PAR IV projects. Additionally, CRS will consider inviting participants from local governance structures (DLH Kupang City, BAPPEDA Kota Kupang, BPBD Kota Kupang), local implementing partners (YPPS & CIS Timor), and Caritas Indonesia.
