Consultant for IPCC Guideline Training Facilitator

Consultancy Level: 2

Consultancy Type: Deliverable

Application Deadline: 20 November 2026 11:59 PM (KST)

Project Background

ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM) is a 3-year project to help reduce methane emissions in ASEAN countries. Funded by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), the project provides technical and financial support in the following four outputs:

1. Developing enabling policies and institutions,
2. Improving the measurement of methane emissions,
3. Designing, financing, and implementing methane reduction projects, and
4. Promoting regional dialogue and partnership

The AKCMM project period is from November 2024 to November 2027, with activities at the regional and national level. In Indonesia, the AKCMM project is implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment (MoE), which serves as the ASEAN Working Group for Climate Change Focal Point for Indonesia. Based on the direction of the MoE, municipal solid waste (MSW) has been selected as the priority focus for AKCMM implementation in Indonesia, reflecting its significant contribution to national methane emissions.

Objective of the Assignment

The Term of Reference (ToR) are prepared under Output 2 of the AKCMM project “Improving the measurement of methane emissions”, which aims to strengthen Indonesia’s capacity to accurately quantify, report, and verify methane emissions. In this context, Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) refers to tracking and documenting emissions levels to ensure reliable and transparent national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventories. 

Reliable waste sector inventories depend on a pool of skilled practitioners who understand the IPCC methodologies and can apply them using inventory software. Indonesia’s GHG inventory system draws on the IPCC Guidelines (2006 and the 2019 Refinement), which also underpin reporting obligation.

To contribute to this goal, GGGI plans to organize an IPCC Guideline Training for university students in Jakarta, Bandung and Semarang, tentatively scheduled for November 2026. The training will be conducted in person in Jakarta. It is expected to run for two days, with up to [30] participants per session, drawn from relevant study programs such as environmental science, environmental engineering, and chemical engineering. All training materials and delivery will be in Bahasa Indonesia. Resource people may be drawn from relevant government institutions, academia, and GGGI’s existing individual consultants.

The training will introduce the fundamentals of GHG inventories, the IPCC Guidelines (2006 and the 2019 Refinement), and the UNFCCC reporting framework. It will also explain the IPCC Guidelines (2006 and the 2019 Refinement) and the basic principles of emission estimation, including activity data, emission factors, and the use of default values. Particular emphasis will be placed on the waste sector, especially methane emissions from solid waste disposal. A demonstration session will show how the IPCC Inventory Software is used to calculate waste sector emissions, from data input to the generation of results and reports, using sample data to illustrate the process. The training will also include interactive discussions and short exercises and will offer participants a view of career and research opportunities related to GHG inventories.

GGGI seeks to engage an individual consultant (the “Consultant”) to support the preparation and delivery of these training activities, in accordance with the scope of work outlined below

1. Preparation of training plan, materials, and stakeholder engagement

   • Ensure that participants have access to the IPCC Inventory Software and the technical set-up needed for hands-on sessions, such as installation guidance and pre-training checks.
   • Design pre- and post-training assessments to evaluate participant learning outcomes, in line with AKCMM project requirements.
2. Execute training delivery
   • Facilitate and coordinate with resource persons throughout the training sessions to ensure effective delivery.
   • Manage the day-to-day implementation of training execution in accordance with the agreed training plan, including ensuring smooth execution of the agenda, guiding discussions, maintaining participant attendance records, conducting pre- and post-training assessment surveys, and supporting resource persons during delivery.
