The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation services company for sustainable development that operates globally. It belongs to the government of the Federal Republic of Germany but operates as a private company with more than 20,000 employees in 120 countries.
GIZ International Services (InS) is a section of GIZ that offers the company's services to international clients, both from the public sector (international organisations, development banks, governments) and private sector companies.
In Indonesia, GIZ serves as a trusted partner and technical advisor to the Government of Indonesia by delivering integrated solutions in Energy Transition, Resilient Nature, and Sustainable Urban Development. The Energy Programme supports the shift toward a sustainable energy system through bilateral cooperation and contributions to the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). The Resilient Nature Cluster promotes a multi-layered approach that combines conservation, sustainable resource management, climate adaptation (Nexus), international cooperation, and strengthened disaster risk reduction.
Through its International Services department, GIZ has been commissioned by multiple companies in the battery value chain to implement the "Nickel Impact Programme Indonesia (NIPI)" in Central Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province, Indonesia. The project aims to address community-prioritized environmental and social challenges in the Weda Bay nickel mining and refining area, with a focus on improving health outcomes, securing access to clean water, and protecting aquatic biodiversity. Building on an initial assessment of local priorities, the project delivers immediate action on urgent priorities and participatory research to better understand the changes to aquatic biodiversity and their root causes. These insights will guide the development of long-term restoration strategies aimed at strengthening ecosystem health and community resilience. Project implementation will closely involve local communities along all of its steps. For this, a community forum will be created. An additional key need is to engage the nickel industry as partner to address adverse impacts of nickel production. This will require significant work on trust building between communities and industry players.
