Indonesia-UK PACT

Indonesia has great potential for a low-carbon transition in the urban transport sector and UK PACT is proud to support progress on this.

The UK is committed to supporting Indonesia to tackle climate change issues and achieve carbon emissions reduction targets through the Indonesia-UK PACT programme. Indonesia-UK PACT aims to strengthen existing UK-Indonesia climate initiatives, while also exploring new areas for collaboration on reducing emissions and promoting low-carbon development. 

Indonesia-UK PACT has worked closely with government stakeholders to identify opportunities for strategic support. The programme responds to Indonesia’s national development plans for climate mitigation action in the low-carbon cities and transport sector and will continue to explore areas for future collaboration.  

Call for Proposals: Low-Carbon Cities and Transport - NOW OPEN

The first Indonesia-UK PACT call for proposals under the theme low-carbon cities and transport is now open for applications

Indonesia is a rapidly urbanising country with approximately 55% of the population living in urbanised areas as of 2018. This figure is expected to increase to 70% by 2025. Urban transport is a large contributor to Indonesia’s Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, making up 28% of energy-related emissions in 2018, the majority of which came from road transport. A transition to low-carbon transport will not only reduce carbon emissions and increase the liveability of cities but will also create additional employment. 

What are we looking for?

We are seeking applications for grant projects that address a number of important opportunities for capacity building with the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation and other key stakeholders, for the implementation of low-carbon transport initiatives in Indonesia. Improving the well-being of citizens through enhanced air quality and increased physical activity – walking, cycling, and using public transport – will be a key priority. The goal is to mitigate carbon emissions and improve the productivity and liveability of Indonesian cities, including their accessibility for women and the most vulnerable.

Application specifications

How much should each project cost? 

Between £100,000 and £1,000,000 per project per year.
