Indonesia: Climate Finance Sr. Advisor

The GCF works through its accredited entities to channel their funding to developing countries. National Direct Access Entities (DAE) are one of the GCF’s distinct approaches designed to help developing countries increase their ownership of climate change funding and better integrate it with their national climate action plans. For the countries, obtaining direct access to climate funding allows them to flexibly tailor projects to meet domestic priorities, coordinate and monitor projects due to geographical proximity that allows for better communication among parties, and eliminate various costs associated with planning, coordination, and implementation. Direct access may also help to better integrate local context in climate projects and programs and enhance the transfer of local knowledge and experience.

The Climate Finance Sr. Advisor (hereafter referred to as “the Consultant”) will work closely with the GGGI Readiness Team and the NDA to support two high-level outcomes of Indonesia’s GCF Readiness project:

- Direct access applicants and accredited entities (DAEs) have established the capacity to meet and maintain the GCF accreditation standards; and accredited DAEs have the capacity to develop a pipeline of projects and effectively implement GCF-funded activities.
- Strategies for transforming and attracting private sector investment for low emissions and resilience will be developed and used.
