Background Information
In
2009 the Government of Indonesia (GOI) established a national trust fund
mechanism called the Indonesian Climate Change Trust Fund (ICCTF) to facilitate
and coordinate financial support for climate change related activities. ICCTF
is the first integrated financial mechanism for Indonesia’s national policies
and programmes on addressing climate change. Current ICCTF governance structure
includes Steering Committee, Technical Committee and Secretariat.
A
“Letter of Agreement regarding Implementation of Preparatory Arrangements for
the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund” was signed by the GOI and UNDP on
September 14, 2009 to establish the Preparatory Arrangement for the Indonesia
Climate Change Trust Fund (PREP-ICCTF) project until the end of 2012. The
objectives of the PREP-ICCTF project were to immediately support priority
initiatives on climate change, and to support capacity development needs for
the design, establishment and implementation of ICCTF. Under the PREP-ICCTF, UNDP acts as the
interim fund manager for ICCTF thereby managing funds on behalf of ICCTF during
the interim phase. During the interim phase, responsibilities of UNDP have
gradually been transferred from the PREP-ICCTF project to ICCTF.
The
ICCTF Secretariat, which also acts as the PREP-ICCTF Project Management Unit,
has been operational since February 2010. The Secretariat administers the trust
fund and supports the functions of the ICCTF Steering Committee and Technical
Committee.
ICCTF
operates in three thematic windows, namely: land based mitigation, energy, and
resilience and adaptation. The ICCTF finalized three pilot projects last
December 2012. The pilot projects covers the area of energy conservation
(energy window, implemented by the Ministry of Industry), sustainable peatland
management (land based mitigation window, implemented by the Ministry of
Agriculture), and public awareness raising (resilience and adaptation window,
implemented by the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics). For
the new batch of project funding, a final assessment on selected projects is
currently on-going prior to final approval.
For
the successful operation of the ICCTF, a Communication Officer will be hired to
be responsible for increasing the ability of the PREP-ICCTF to effectively
communicate and consult with key stakeholders, partners, and public in general.
Under the guidance and direct supervision of the NPM of PREP ICCTF and Head of
Secretariat, he/she promotes public awareness in the activities of the
PREP-ICCTF and publicizes them via the media.
