Title : Development of Green Climate Fund (GCF) Technical Knowledge Products for Multi-Stakeholder
Procurement No. : 100011065
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Indonesia is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work:

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
GGGI and the Fiscal Policy Agency (FPA) implement the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness and Preparatory Support project (“the Readiness Project”) in Indonesia. The Readiness Program aims to mobilize international climate finance and private sector investment to close the financing gap across the priority sectors identified by the Government of Indonesia. It consists of a range of activities with the objective of achieving readiness outcomes, including: 1) establishing the capacity of direct access applicants and direct access entities (DAEs) to meet and maintain the GCF accreditation standards, 2) developing a pipeline of projects, and 3) effectively implementing GCF-funded activities.
However, many stakeholders in Indonesia still face many challenges in understanding and meeting the high standards required to access GCF funding. GCF expects that funding proposals meet its standards and requirements. Enhanced capacity is especially needed for some of the national and sub-national government stakeholders that play critical roles in implementing climate actions. These stakeholders have varying levels of capacity and awareness of climate change risks and opportunities. They also tend to have less capacity to utilize climate data for planning and budgeting. These differences in capacity and understanding contribute to certain sectors being underfunded compared to others.
As an effort to increase stakeholder capacity, NDA GCF recently conducted a capacity gap assessment study to identify the various challenges faced by stakeholders in accessing GCF funding. The study revealed two main strategies to address these challenges: enhancing the capacity of proposers and improving supporting conditions, both crucial for optimizing the benefits of GCF funding. Therefore, developing tailored, demand-driven capacity building activities targeting different stakeholders is important. This study also provided several recommendations for knowledge products that can complement the capacity-building activities for stakeholders.
Based on the assessment recommendations, the NDA plans to develop the following knowledge products which will be made available in the NDA website (https://fiskal.kemenkeu.go.id/nda_gcf/):
1. Eligibility survey tool: Assists stakeholders in determining project eligibility for GCF funding.
2. Knowledge expert pool: Creates a network of experts to provide technical assistance to stakeholders.
3. Practical Guide to Preparing Concept Notes and Proposals: Offers practical guidance on preparing successful GCF funding proposals.
4. E-learning platform: Provides accessible online training on GCF process and procedures.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
GGGI seeks to contract an eligible consulting firm to develop the knowledge products to empower stakeholders with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively access and utilize GCF funding for Indonesia's climate change initiatives. The assignment shall contribute to achieving the objectives of Indonesia’s Readiness Project on building the capacity of national stakeholders in meeting GCF’s stringent requirements.

PROPOSED ACTIVITIES:

1. Eligibility Survey Tool
