“UNDP is the UN’s global development network, an organization advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience and resources to help people build a better life. We are on the ground in about 170 countries and territories, including Indonesia, working to eradicate poverty while protecting the planet. UNDP supports implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In Indonesia, UNDP works with the Government to integrate SDGs into national plan and policies.”

The Government of Indonesia (GoI) has committed to address climate change including risks and vulnerabilities that could have implications to the national development agendas. Up to now, GoI has enacted several climate change policies, i.e RAN-GRK, RAN-API, and NDC. To finance the climate change actions, the government has to ensure that it not only has adequate funding but also to track and monitor the results of the programmes it implements. In addition to addressing the direct challenge of climate change, the GoI also needs to overcome the differential impact of climate change on gender and poverty.

To address those needs, the MoF through the Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF) worked together with the UNDP within the framework of Sustainable Development Financing (SDF) Phase 2 project. The project aims to restructure Indonesia’s development planning and budget making processes to a more integrated approach when tackling climate change by promoting gender equality, transparency, and participation-based principles and standards as well as poverty reduction. The implementation of the project will utilize partnerships with Government counterparts and Civil Society Organizations to collaborate for effective and efficient results.

One of outputs of SDF project focuses on strengthening the policy and processes to ensure that climate change finance is achieving national objectives (NDC targets and SDGs goals) and identify synergies between climate related and sustainable development benefits (e.g. poverty reduction, social and gender equality etc.). The project will support the development of a guidance for sector climate-relevant pilot projects of the selected ministries with high impact to gender and poverty to better contribute towards gender transformative change and adaptive capacity of poor women and men.
