INTRODUCTION

Based in Seoul, Republic of Korea, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as “green growth”, which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies and projects that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

As part of the Indonesia country program and with the support of the Government of the Republic of Korea (ROK), GGGI is assisting the Government of Indonesia (GoI), specifically Bappenas, the Bali Provincial Government and the ITDC (Indonesia Tourism Development Corporation) in transitioning to a more sustainable transportation through electric vehicle (EV) implementation. Bali Province has a planning document, namely the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for the Sarbagita Metropolitan, that provides the comprehensive direction for a shift to a more sustainable transportation system. Additionally, a Regional Action Plan for EV implementation for the entire island is currently under development, covering the technical, institutional, and financial aspects of the transition.

To support the targets stated in the documents, GGGI provides technical assistance through the project “Piloting Electric Vehicle Systems and Developing a Green Transportation Investment Roadmap for Bali, Indonesia”. The Project is designed comprehensively to include aspects of planning, funding mobilization, and capacity building to realize an inclusive EV system in the province, which also includes piloting electric buses and supporting facilities. The project will ensure inclusive and gender-sensitive development and address social and environmental safeguards. The duration of the project will be five years (2023-2027) and GGGI is appointed as the project implementer under the direction of the Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas).

The main beneficiary of this Project will be the Bali Provincial Government which has the jurisdiction of the target area of the Project. At the national level, the Project will coordinate and collaborate with Bappenas and other technical Ministries, such as the Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
