I. Background Information

In 2009 the Government of Indonesia (GoI)
established a national trust fund mechanism called the Indonesian Climate
Change Trust Fund (ICCTF) to facilitate and coordinate financial support for
climate change related activities. ICCTF is the first integrated financial
mechanism for Indonesia’s national policies and programs on addressing climate
change. Current ICCTF governance structure includesa Steering Committee,
Technical Committee and Secretariat. ICCTF operates in three thematic windows: land based mitigation, energy,and resilience and adaptation. 

A
“Letter of Agreement regarding Implementation of Preparatory Arrangements for
the Indonesia Climate Change Trust Fund” was signed by the GOI and UNDP on
September 14, 2009 to establish the Preparatory Arrangement for the Indonesia
Climate Change Trust Fund (PREP-ICCTF) project until the end of 2014. The
objectives of the PREP-ICCTF project were to immediately support priority
initiatives on climate change, and to support capacity development needs for
the design, establishment and implementation of ICCTF.  Under the PREP-ICCTF, UNDP acts as the
interim fund manager for ICCTF during the interim phase. As an effort to comply
with the new Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No.80/2011, a transition process from UNDP trusteeship to a fully national
trust fund setup is currently ongoing. The ministerial regulation for
establishment of ICCTF national trust fund (Lembaga
Wali Amanat ICCTF /LWA-ICCTF) is expected to be issued in the near future.
LWA-ICCTF will comprise of Majelis Wali Amanat ICCTF/MWA-ICCTF and Pengelola
Dana Amanat ICCTF/PDA-ICCTF.
 In 2010-2011, ICCTF has funded 3 pilot projects in
sustainable peat land management, energy conservation and public awareness and
education. Currently ICCTF is monitoring and evaluating the implementation of 3
new funded projects in sustainable peat land management, community forest
management and biomass energy estate, and vulnerability assessment and
adaptation in health sector. The on-going projects are to be implemented until
2014.

Land Based Mitigation Window is one of the three thematic
windowsfor financing high-priority and strategic initiatives designed
to achieve the national priorities of GHG emission reductionparticularly in
forestry and peatland and sustainable natural resources management, while
contributing to the global efforts aimed to mitigate the negative effects of
climate change. In relation to project funding, ICCTF Secretariat
is currently developing a project pipeline in
the three ICCTF windows, including Land Based Mitigation Window.
