Hiring KINETIK Secretariat Program Officer, - APAC

KINETIK Secretariat Program Officer

Program Background

KINETIK, the Australia-Indonesia Climate and Sustainable Infrastructure Partnership, supports Indonesia to strengthen sustainable infrastructure systems, mobilise climate-aligned investment, and advance low-emissions and climate-resilient development. Working with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) and a broad network of public and private partners, the program seeks to expand investment in sustainable infrastructure while ensuring the inclusion of local communities, particularly women, girls and people with disabilities.

KINETIK contributes to three inter-related End of Program Outcomes (EOPOs):

1. Climate resilience: Investments from government, private and community actors increasingly contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation in Indonesia.

2. Innovative financing: GOI increasingly uses diverse, innovative and high-quality financing to support inclusive, climate-resilient development.

3. Sustainable infrastructure: GOI delivers sustainable and resilient economic infrastructure, particularly in water, transport and energy, that meets the needs of communities, including women, people with disabilities and marginalised groups.

The program builds on long-standing Australia-Indonesia cooperation in infrastructure and climate policy. It promotes locally led development, integrates gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI), and works with development finance and private sector partners to mobilise investment and support sustainable infrastructure systems across sectors including renewable energy, water, sanitation and waste management, and sustainable transport.

KINETIK is supported by the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) and implemented by DT Global.
