Join our webinar to find out how you can apply for grant funding for the low-carbon transport sector Call for Proposals, within the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme in Indonesia. At this webinar we will provide further details on this opportunity and how you can apply for grant funding. Please note, this event will be hosted in English.
Who is this event for?
We invite all organisations with relevant experience in delivering technical assistance and capacity-building projects in the low-carbon transport sector to register. This could be both international and local think-tanks, consultancies, academic institutions, NGOs, professional associations, or any similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver an eligible project.
Proposals from private sector entities are welcomed.
What will we be funding?
We are seeking to award grant funding to initiatives that enhance sustainable transportation in Indonesia, with a particular focus on reducing carbon emissions. 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 liveability 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.
What funding is available?
Projects will be selected through a one-stage open and competitive call. Successful projects will receive funding of up to £800,000 per year, for a total duration of 21 months with a possibility for extension. While we aim for projects to start in April 2025, the exact duration will depend on the actual start date, with funding available through December 2026.
