This report examines the challenges and opportunities in unlocking funding for community access within Indonesia’s just energy transition. While significant financial commitments have been made toward clean energy, much of this capital struggles to reach the communities most affected by the transition. The report highlights a critical gap between available finance and its effective deployment at the local level.

Through an analysis of policy frameworks, financing mechanisms, and on-ground realities, the report identifies structural barriers such as limited institutional capacity, fragmented funding channels, and a lack of locally tailored financial models. It emphasizes the need to align financial systems with community needs to ensure that energy transition efforts are inclusive, equitable, and sustainable.

The report proposes pathways to strengthen coordination between governments, financial institutions, and local stakeholders, enabling more effective and accessible funding flows. By focusing on community-level access, it underscores the importance of designing transition strategies that deliver both climate outcomes and socio-economic benefits.
