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 includesSteering
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 mitigationwindow, 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.

Officer will be hired to be responsible for increasing the ability of the PREP-ICCTF to
