The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) and a Sources Sought Notice (SSN) for the "Urban Climate Change Adaptation Activity" in Indonesia, aimed at enhancing urban resilience against climate change over a projected five-year period with an estimated budget of $19-20 million. This initiative seeks insights from stakeholders on climate adaptation strategies and identifies qualified organizations capable of supporting these efforts. The document outlines Indonesia's high vulnerability to climate change, evidenced by increasing disasters like floods and landslides, and emphasizes the need for improved resilience in urban centers, particularly as the population shifts to coastal cities. USAID aims to support the Government of Indonesia through knowledge sharing, mobilization of financing, and assistance in integrating disaster risk reduction with climate adaptation in local planning processes. Key objectives include promoting urban planning that considers climate risks, mobilizing funds for infrastructure resilience, advancing systems for climate data collection, and implementing nature-based solutions. Responses to this RFI/SSN are encouraged by February 2, 2023, for shaping the project design and better planning governmental support mechanisms.
