GIZ Indonesia

About us

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in Indonesia since 1975. The country office is in the capital Jakarta. 
GIZ is working in Indonesia on behalf of BMZ. Other parties that commission GIZ to carry out projects include the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the German Federal Foreign Office and the European Union.
German-Indonesian cooperation focuses on three priority areas:
Energy
-  Environmental protection
-  Technical and vocational education and training (TVET)/economic development
It also covers the cross-cutting issues of good governance and cooperation with the private sector.
Indonesia plays a key role in the context of BMU’s international cooperation because of its importance for climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation.
In the energy sector, remote island regions in Indonesia face major challenges. The Energising Development partnership has been supporting rural electrification through renewable energy since 2009. To date, 189,000 people, 1,500 public institutions and 2,700 rural businesses have gained access to electricity.
In the field of environmental protection, GIZ supports the Indonesian Government in conserving the country’s diverse tropical rainforests. It advises the country on putting in place a legal framework, methods and services for sustainable forest management.
GIZ is also advising the Indonesian Government on merging public transport to create an integrated system and reduce private passenger traffic. The aim is to decrease the risks relating to climate change in urban areas.
