Voices for Just Climate Action SSN Indonesia

The Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Programme is being implemented in 7 countries, including Indonesia. In VCA Indonesia, the programme has identified the Jakarta, Papua and East Nusa Tenggara provinces as target areas for programme implementation. This is because Papua and East Nusa Tenggara provinces have a high prevalence of exploitative practices without getting the required attention from the national government in both urban and rural areas. The programme will be rolled out in the three provinces to strengthen the capacity to co-create local climate solutions and amplify voices through storytelling and building the capacity of local actors. This will be complemented by national-level advocacy and influencing. The alliance partners will also scale up evidence to influence policy at the national level to demonstrate what is possible in other country regions. The focus of the Indonesian programme is to join civil society forces from these regions to influence at a national level. These connections are critical, relatively new and add value in the Indonesian context. The VCA programme has brought on board a number of contracted civil society organisations and coalitions to advance the project objectives and deliver on the programme.
