GIZ Indonesia & ASEAN

GIZ - Working for a future worth living around the world. In crises, we carry out refugee and emergency aid programmes.

GIZ operates in many fields: economic development and employment promotion; governance and democracy; security, reconstruction, peacebuilding and civil conflict transformation; food security, health and basic education; and environmental protection, resource conservation and climate change mitigation. We also support our partners with management and logistical services, and act as an intermediary, balancing diverse interests in sensitive contexts. As part of our services, we also second development workers to partner countries. Through programmes for integrated and returning experts, we place managers and specialist personnel in key positions in partner countries. We also promote networking and dialogue among actors in international cooperation. Capacity development for partner-country experts is a major component of our services, and we offer our programme participants diverse opportunities to benefit from the contacts they have made. We also give young people a chance to gain professional experience around the world – exchange programmes for young professionals lay the foundations for successful careers in national and international markets.

On Monday, 13 October 2025, the 🏛️ Agriculture Office of Bandung District (Dinas Pertanian) handed over 99 cultivation registration certificate (STDB) 📃 to the Gapoktanhut Gambung Chairman Fikri Kholid. Attended by 21 participants, including Head of Horticulture from Dinas Pertanian Shinta Siti Habsyoh, Horticulture Staff from Dinas Pertanian Fifin Susetyowati, and members of the Gapoktanhut Gambung farmer group.

GIZ has provided support for the local government in Bandung to collect ☕ coffee farmers’ data, map farms (polygon), and inputting data into the 🖥️ e-STDB system. Dinas Pertanian has said that with the support of GIZ, the STDB issuance process runs well and smoothly because the data we provide is readily available for them to verify ✅ and issue the STDB. We successfully facilitated over 500 coffee farmers 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 to register for STDB as part of the pilot STDB program in Bandung.

STDB gathers comprehensive data on smallholder plantation ownership to serve as a foundation for informed policy decisions. It also allows for the government to support the farmers, including subsidies for 🌱 fertilizers and seedlings. With STDB, it is hoped that farmer institutions are empowered, good agricultural practices are promoted, and sustainable resource management is ensured. The government sees the implementation of STDB as an opportunity to enhance effectiveness and efficiency of 🔍 plantation planning and monitoring.

As a follow up, Dinas Pertanian Kabupaten Bandung will continue to support the process of registering and applying for STDB issuance for farmers.

Last week, we wrapped up an inspiring second bootcamp that brought together Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) stakeholders from two leading Polytechnics in Indonesia. Together they explored how to make their campuses more inclusive by strengthening Gender, Diversity, and Inclusion (GDI).

With the support of the German Government ( ) through GIZ Indonesia & ASEAN Lighthouse Project team and DesignThinkers Academy, school managers and lecturers identified their own institutional challenges and began shaping contextualised, practical solutions to advance inclusion in the TVET sector in Indonesia.

These collaborative sessions mark an important milestone in our Design Thinking journey — one that places people at the heart of innovation to build more inclusive TVET environments. By reimagining how education and training can empower everyone, we take steps toward lasting and equitable change.

In 2026, the practical ideas developed during the bootcamp will be piloted at Politeknik Negeri Bandung and Politeknik Industri Furnitur dan Pengolahan Kayu Kendal.

Together, we are not just redesigning systems — we’re transforming mindsets.

From Risk to Resilience: Powering Indonesia’s Disaster Risk Financing Through Global Expertise

As part of our utmost commitment to advancing disaster resilience and adaptive social protection, GIZ Indonesia & ASEAN facilitated a high-level knowledge exchange and training for Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Bencana ()/Indonesia’s National Disaster Management Authority focused on Disaster Risk Management and Disaster Risk Financing Instruments.

Held from August 10–15, 2025, in Frankfurt, Germany, this strategic initiative, jointly organized with the of Finance and Management, aimed to strengthen Indonesia’s capacity to craft innovative, adaptive, reliable, and sustainable financing
instruments and mechanisms.

The program featured a dynamic blend of expert-led sessions, technical deep-dives, including various countries' experiences, successful and unsuccessful stories in developing sustainable financing, strategic dialogues with key German agencies on climate change and civil protection, and site visits, offering Indonesian stakeholders’ critical exposure to international best practices in climate-disaster risk financing and population protection systems. Key topics included risk-layered financing solutions such as insurance mechanisms and contingency funds, as well as the use of climate data services to inform policy and planning.

The exchange marks a pivotal step in enhancing Indonesia’s resilience by equipping decision-makers with actionable insights and scalable strategies tailored to the country’s specific disaster and climate risk landscape. By investing in these collaborative efforts, Indonesia moves closer to ensuring that its communities are better protected and more resilient in the face of future shocks.

➡️ Intentionality – putting jobs & skills at the heart of climate policy
➡️ Innovation – scaling inclusive, tech-enabled training
➡️ Investment – financing human capital for the new economy

Indonesia’s Green Workforce Development Roadmap by Bappenas identifies 4 million existing and 56 million potential green jobs and provides a national framework for coordinated green-skills action.

⚙️ Action in Indonesia:
Through the Green Jobs for Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation (GESIT) project commissioned by Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Bappenas and GIZ Indonesia & ASEAN, Indonesia is already advancing people-centered green jobs and inclusive training in renewable energy, circular economy & forestry.

🌏 On ASEAN Day for Disaster Management and the International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, we honour the spirit of solidarity and shared responsibility that defines our region.

Behind every system and policy are dedicated people — responders, coordinators, and communities — working together to save lives and build resilience.

Since 2020, Germany, through GIZ, has proudly supported The ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management (AHA Centre) in strengthening its institutional foundations — from human resources and digital transformation to knowledge management and gender inclusion.

Because stronger institution means faster, more effective responses — and safer, more resilient communities across ASEAN.
