81272767-Green Infrastructure Development (GID)-Pre-Feasibility Studies-Indonesia

During the bilateral Government Negotiations between Germany and Indonesia in 2019, it was agreed to launch the Indonesian - German Green Infrastructure Initiative for a five-year Financial Cooperation (FC) facility providing loans of up to EUR 2 500 000 000 to support environment and/or climate-relevant infrastructure projects in the areas of: — Urban Water and Wastewater Management, — Urban Solid Waste Management, — Urban Public Transport. The bilateral Technical Cooperation (TC) Project ‘Green Infrastructure Development in Indonesia’ is an integral part of the Indonesian — German Green Infrastructure Initiative. The TC Project was designed by GIZ in close cooperation with Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), the development bank of the German development cooperation (DC). The Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Investments (CMMAI) is the main counterpart for GIZ, while the Committee for the Acceleration of Priority Infrastructure (KPPIP) and the four provincial governments of West, Central and East Java plus Bali will be the main operational partners. There is a National Steering Committee for the project that will be involved in strategic decision making. Green in this context means environment-and/or climate-relevant (mitigation and adaptation), as well as socio-economically sustainable Green Infrastructure which should lead to the sustainable mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and adaptation to climate change. The TC Project aims to identify and prepare environmental-and/or climate-relevant infrastructure projects to such an extent that they can be further planned in detail at feasibility study level and implemented with FC funds. In the planned thematic priorities of the Indonesian-German Green Infrastructure Initiative in the three sectors, there are major challenges for environmental and climate protection. For example, the main reason for the high GHG emissions in the waste sector is the dumping of untreated organic waste in disorderly landfills or wild dumps, which produces the GHG methane. In many communities less than half of the waste is collected. The rest is often deposited or incinerated in the residential environment. In the water and sanitation sectors, currently, just over 21 % of the population is connected to a public water supply and with less than 2 % of the population, Indonesia has one of the lowest connection rates to a central sewage system in the world. In the transport sector, the traffic congestion associated with urbanization is a major challenge in metropolitan agglomerations.
