Development of RECLICKS by PYC Website

Background

FINCAPES is a 5.5-year, gender-responsive initiative funded by Global Affairs Canada and implemented by the University of Waterloo, supporting Indonesia in addressing climate change while conserving biodiversity in a socially and economically sustainable way. The project strengthens national capacity in three areas: managing the financial impacts of climate-related flood risks, scaling up Nature-based Solutions for peatland and mangrove restoration, and strengthening climate policy frameworks with a focus on carbon finance.

Under one of its components, FINCAPES collaborates with Purnomo Yusgiantoro Center (PYC) to establish RECLICKS by PYC, a Center of Excellence for Climate Finance Policy, Research, and Training. Launched in August 2025, RECLICKS aims to support Indonesia’s energy transition through research, capacity building, and policy engagement.

As RECLICKS moves into full operation, there is a need to develop a professional and sustainable website that will function as a long-term knowledge hub for research dissemination, public communication, and stakeholder engagement. This procurement seeks an external professional vendor to develop and optimize the RECLICKS website in line with PYC’s institutional standards and strategic objectives.
