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. GGGI supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams – Green Growth Planning & Implementation and Knowledge Solutions – that deliver comprehensive solutions designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans.

With the support of the Government of the Republic of Korea (ROK), GGGI assists the Government of Indonesia (GoI), specifically the Bali Provincial Government, in transitioning to a more sustainable transportation through electric vehicle (EV) implementation. Bali Province (“the 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.

In supporting the targets stated in these documents, GGGI is providing technical assistance to the Indonesian Government and the Government of Bali through the project “Piloting Electric Vehicle Systems and Developing a Green Transportation Investment Roadmap for Bali, Indonesia”. The Project is covers aspects of planning, investment mobilization, and capacity building to realize an inclusive EV system in the Province, which also includes piloting electric buses and supporting facilities. This project consists of three outcomes, including the implementation of a coherent and sustainable EV roadmap, increased investment opportunities and commitments to accelerate the use of EV, and strengthened human resource capacity and institutional framework involving public and private stakeholders. The project will last for 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.
