We are pleased to announce that today the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme has launched a new funding opportunity in Indonesia within the Low-carbon Transport sector.
The Indonesia-UK PACT Country Fund is seeking to award grant funding to initiatives that enhance sustainable transportation in Indonesia, with a particular focus on reducing carbon emissions. The deadline for submitting your proposal is 10 December 2024, 18:00 ICT/ 11:00 UTC.
What are we looking for?
These projects should align with government strategies and policies, provide public benefits, promote equality and social inclusion for diverse vulnerable groups, and contribute positively to low-carbon transport and capacity building. They should also be ready for implementation. The overarching goal is to mitigate carbon emissions and improve transport planning, which can boost productivity and the live ability of cities in Indonesia, including the wellbeing of citizens and accessibility for women, people with disabilities, and other marginalised groups.
To achieve this, we have identified three key project initiatives under two overarching themes:
- Strengthening overall emissions baselines and MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) in transport: This project will establish comprehensive GHG Emission Inventory and Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) plan for mitigation action plans in Indonesia. The project will provide critical data to guide effective planning, measure progress, and advance Indonesia's climate goals.
- Improving long-term planning for decarbonisation of rail-based mass transport
- 2.a Advancing the National Railway Master Plan and development of a feasibility study on Pilot Railway Integrated Facility: This project supports Indonesia's "Indonesia Emas" vision and its Net Zero target by 2060 through the advancement of the National Railway Master Plan (Rencana Induk Perkeretaapian Nasional - RIPNAS). The project is designed to complement the MoT’s planned RIPNAS review, running in parallel and providing strategic recommendations to align RIPNAS with the Net Zero target. In addition, the project will develop a feasibility study for a pilot railway integrated facility connecting the rail network with seaports, while considering the integration of logistics ports to maximise transfers to railway network. This pilot facility will serve as a model for broader implementation across Indonesia, supporting shift towards rail-based logistics.
- 2.b Feasibility Studies on Implementation of land value capture (LVC) on Railway Sector: This project aims to enhance urban mobility through LVC strategies. Building on the strong foundation laid in Central Java during UK PACT Phase 1, it will further advance transit-oriented development (TOD) to create efficient and sustainable rail transport solutions. Central Java remains a key focus as a building block for success, while the project is also open to expanding into other locations aligned with current government priorities.
