Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR) is a think-tank in the field of energy and environment. IESR encourages transformation into a low-carbon energy system by advocating a public policy that rests on data-driven and scientific studies, conducting capacity development assistance, and establishing strategic partnerships with non-governmental actors. As part of IESR effort to increase public and government awareness and carry out studies to the decision maker, currently, IESR is conducting social and economic research in the coal region in Indonesia. This study aims to provide recommendations to the government on other potential economic sectors besides coal and natural resources in order to create new green employment.

In order to have a comprehensive analysis of the economic sector, IESR sees the opportunity to develop other sectors that support low-carbon economic growth at the sub-national level. The implication of global coal decline is predicted to impact the economic system, not only at the local but also at the provincial level. Determining potential sectors to be developed needs accurate calculation and analysis to decide which one suits the most with the local characteristics and government plans. Thus, IESR needs a comprehensive assessment of the effect of energy transition on the local economy and the opportunity presented particularly in promoting renewable energy development and circular economy.

Proposals will be accepted until 24:00 Indonesian Western Standard Time (WIB, GMT+07) on Wednesday,  27 September 2023. Any proposal received after the deadline will be regarded as inadmissible. Please kindly send the proposal to Program Manager Sustainable Energy Access IESR, Marlistya Citraningrum, at citra@iesr.or.id and cc: rizqi@iesr.or.id for inquiries and submissions.  Please include “RFP Response – Economic and Development Assessment (Lahat)” in the email subject.
