Description
This funding opportunity, administered by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), seeks proposals from not-for-profit organisations to support Indonesia’s energy transition as part of the UK–Indonesia Strategic Partnership. The programme, MENTARI 2, focuses on two main strands: policy reform and investment support for small-scale renewable energy projects. A strong emphasis is placed on mainstreaming gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) across all activities. The grant aims to improve analytical input for energy policy, enhance the bankability of clean energy projects, and embed inclusive practices in energy sector planning and investment.
