I am responding to the call for expressions of interest for MCA-I's Green Knowledge grants. My organization is the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), an international organization (IO) based in Seoul, which was recently ratified by President SBY as an established IO in Indonesia. For details, please see the attached Perpres 82/2014. You can find general information about GGGI at http://gggi.org/. I have previously spoken with Ibu Poppy Ismalina about the GK program, but I also have a couple of procurement-related questions about our organization's eligibility. I refer to the criteria on your website (http://gp.mca-
We are very sorry for this inconvenient situation but today, you can download all information needed for EOI.
Applicant (if applying as one organization only), and/or their consortium partners, should have a country representative office in Indonesia in accordance with Indonesian regulation Peraturan Presiden No. 80/2011.
indonesia.go.id/gkgrant/eligibility-requirements-foreoi-for-green-knowledge-grants/). First, as far as you know, does GGGI as an international organization with a program in Indonesia qualify as an applicant under either Category 1 or Category 2? We are not state owned or private. Rather, we are an inter-governmental organization. Indonesia is a contributing member of GGGI and sits on the governing council. Second, I would like to know the criteria for having an "established or representative office in Indonesia." Specifically, the website says, Pemohon (jika hanya satu organisasi) dan/atau organisasi mitra utama mereka, harus memiliki kantor (atau kantor perwakilan) di Indonesia sesuai dengan Peraturan Presiden No. 80/2011. I have looked through Perpres 80/2011 but cannot find any reference to kantor or kantor perwakilan. Can you help explain what this refers to? Is there a statement of the eligibility criteria, other than the Perpres, that you can share with us? Or perhaps you can simply tell me if the attached Perpres 82/2014 is sufficient for GGGI to meet the criteria.
