Deadline: 12 October 2016
The UK Climate Change Unit (UKCCU) based in the British Embassy in Jakarta has designed a Programme on Green Economic Growth for Papua in Indonesia from the International Climate Fund.
This intervention aims to catalyse the emergence of a vibrant private sector focused on low carbon, environmentally sustainable, green enterprise.
Early Market Engagement (EME) UKCCU Jakarta intends to host an EME Event to present the planned programme and the services required for the technical assistance components to interested suppliers. The aim of the Early Market Engagement is to exchange ideas and views on the options in designing and implementing the stated component of the programme. In particular, we are interested to discuss the additionality and the options available for the proposed scope of the technical assistance, the proposed project services and activities, and the optimum structures for delivery.
The proposed programme (2016-2022) will do this by:
- supporting green businesses directly through capacity building and mentoring between established firms and start-up businesses;
- improving access to finance for small and medium enterprises (SMEs);
- building government capacity to target public expenditure towards green investment, and;
- building knowledge and evidence on the benefits of promoting green business.
Expected Outcomes
The intervention is expected to deliver the following results:
- Improved livelihoods for 22,000 forest dependent Papuans (of whom 50% will be women);
- 4,500 jobs created in agribusiness, agro-forestry and forestry enterprises;
- Up to 12 commodities with expanded production and market access;
- £5.6 million of private finance mobilised in low carbon enterprise, with a potential £230 million in long-term finance.
- £58,000 of public resources allocated to four pilot villages by the Papuan Provincial Government (potential of £52 million per annum in long-term finance if replicated across all Papua’s villages).
