Accessing climate finance for inclusive, low-carbon transport in Indonesia

The document identifies barriers preventing Indonesian local governments from accessing climate finance, such as restrictions on direct foreign funding and poor long-term financial planning. It recommends strengthening institutional capacity, improving project preparation to meet higher standards of financial viability, and utilizing blended finance and public-private partnerships to attract private investment.

• Local governments in Indonesia encounter substantial regulatory and technical obstacles when seeking climate finance for transport, specifically regarding direct access to foreign funds and a deficiency in long-term financial planning experience.
• To increase the attractiveness of projects for funding and partnerships, proposals must be better prepared, financially viable, aligned with national climate objectives, and include sustainable financing strategies and feasibility assessments.
• The use of public-private partnerships and blended finance is recommended to lower investment risks and draw in private capital.
