Project title: Green Jobs for Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation (GESIT) Project
Country: Indonesia
Service Tendered: Consultant for the Development of Green Soft Skills Programme
Context
The project “Green Jobs for Social Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation” (GESIT) aims to support Indonesia’s transition to a green economy by expanding green employment opportunities and fostering a competitive workforce with the skills needed for green jobs. This project is part of an integrated solution to the global climate crisis, consisting of numerous Indonesian-German cooperation projects that leverage synergies in the fields of energy transition, forest conservation, circular economy, TVET, and employment promotion. It is a bilateral project between the Indonesian and German governments, specifically the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning (Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional/Bappenas) and is implemented by GIZ. Green jobs are defined by the Green Jobs Roadmap of Bappenas as “jobs that contribute to preserving or restoring the environment and promote decent work through one or more of the following mechanisms: by having specific tasks, requiring specific skills, for application of environmentally friendly processes and/or production of environmentally friendly outputs (products/services)”.
Taking into account the pivotal importance of the green transformation of the Indonesian economy and labour market and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia’s goal to become a developed country by 2045 while targeting net zero emissions by 2060 or sooner, GIZ and Bappenas have agreed to jointly implement the GESIT project which will develop the capacities of selected public and private stakeholders to inclusively promote employment in green jobs in the following areas: circular economy (focus on plastic waste management), renewable energy and energy efficiency, and forest conservation.
This is implemented through achievement of four outputs, as follows:
To prepare project activities in the pioneer provinces, a series of focus group discussions were held between October and November 2024. During these discussions, participants expressed significant concerns about the mindset and work ethic of local workers. While technical skills for green jobs are essential, soft skills are considered even more critical. For example, green jobs often require balancing economic goals with environmental responsibility. Therefore, soft skills such as critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and integrity are crucial for making decisions that benefit both people and the planet. In response to these findings, GESIT will develop a training programme on green soft skills and assign a consultant to design and implement the programme.
This activity contributes to Output Indicator 3.2, which states: Subnational multi- stakeholder partnerships in the three pilot provinces have implemented a total of nine measures to promote employment in green jobs, of which three measures focus on promoting gender equality or social inclusion. It also contributes to Module Indicator 4 which measures the number of persons trained by national and sub-national stakeholders for green jobs in initial training, upskilling or reskilling measures (target: 1,000 persons, 300 of whom are women).
Participants of the Green Soft Skills training programme will be certified as Green Soft Skills Facilitators. They will be responsible for conducting further trainings to disseminate the knowledge and skills acquired during the programme.
