On 13-14 July, we successfully conducted the Capacity Building on Energy Statistics and Indicators for Sub-National Governments for West Papua, South Papua, and Papua Province in Merauke, South Papua. This training is supported by GGGI Indonesia as part of the Renewable Energy Accelerated Transition (RE-ACT) Project, funded by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, in collaboration with Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional (Bappenas) and the local government.
This training is held to advance Indonesia’s energy transition agenda at the subnational level, where limited institutional capacity remains one of the key barriers to achieving national renewable energy targets. To align with national energy indicators under the RPJMN and RPJMD, the programme focuses on three core objectives:
- Understanding and applying the fundamentals of energy statistics, including frameworks, methodologies, and data sources, to support regional energy planning
- Developing and applying energy balances as a basis for policy formulation and decision-making
- Strengthening the role of energy statistics in evidence-based policymaking
Evi Wahyuningsih, takes part as a resource person, making this project both knowledgeable and rich in practical experience. Our team, Marcella Winata and Patricia Pasaribu as facilitator, also support the session by adopting interactive and mixed-method learning approach by incorporating:
- Q&A sessions and open discussions
- Interactive games
- Pre-and post-tests to measure learning progress
- Mini workshop: developing and analysing the statistic energy data from provincial level
To ensure the programme is both meaningful and relevant, Tri Hita Consulting conducted a Rapid Training Needs Assessment (TNA) to provide a clear understanding of participants’ baseline knowledge, institutional readiness, and the specific challenges they face in energy transition planning.
For us, capacity building holds value when it results in real change and measurable action. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of it, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration toward a more sustainable and resilient energy for Indonesia.
