Project Overview
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975. The programme “Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia” (CASE) aims to drive change in the power sector in Southeast Asia (SEA) towards increased ambitions about climate change. It focuses on the four main SEA countries Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam and includes both national and regional activities. It is funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI), under the German Federal Ministry for the Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), with an implementation period until 2027. Composed of a wide range of organisations and driven by strong regional cohesion and network, CASE will propose evidence-based solutions to the challenges met by decision makers and build societal support around those solutions. CASE will directly contribute to the transition of the power sector towards an innovative, economically successful and environmentally friendly model for SEA. Overall, the CASE programme consists of five components:
- Output 1: Sustainable Energy related research
- Output 2: Transparency and stakeholder mapping
- Output 3: Stakeholder dialogue and action
- Output 4: Technical assistance to strengthen energy stakeholder capacities.
- Output 5: Sustainable energy communication across public
