About KEMITRAAN

KEMITRAAN Partnership for Governance Reform is a nationally anchored organization accredited as a National Implementing Entity (NIE) under the Adaptation Fund (AF) and as a Direct Access Entity (DAE) under the Green Climate Fund (GCF). These accreditations enable KEMITRAAN to directly access and manage climate finance to support Indonesia’s national climate priorities, including the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (ENDC), and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

To fulfil its fiduciary and programmatic responsibilities under AF and GCF mandates, KEMITRAAN has established the Grants Management Unit (GMU) as the institutional hub responsible for the full lifecycle of climate grants—from outreach and proposal development to disbursement, monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning.
