Attachment: Compendium of Business Plans Purpose and Methodology

Country business plans reflect the Country Planning Frameworks (CPFs) and operationalize their options analysis and GGGI’s contributions to the strategic outcomes in alignment with GGGI’s

Refreshed Strategic Plan 2015-2020. While some of the CPFs are dated and others are being finalized, the country business plans enable their refreshing and facilitate dialogue and generate mutual

interest in GGGI’s progress in striving for green growth outcomes in its partner government.

The country business plans are consolidated into a GGGI corporate level Work Program and Budget 2019-2020 (WPB) to facilitates transparency and dialogue on GGGI’s direction and progress as an

advocate for green growth and implementing agency of innovation through its country and global business plans. WPB also enables a reflection on the GGGI’s positioning in the evolving global context

where its partner countries aim to incorporate green growth objectives into their planning and investments and work toward their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs).

The preparation of country business plans was initiated through the GGGI’s annual portfolio and results review in late 2017. The process involves interdivisional country teams and dialogue with the

government counterpart agencies, including the donor coordination function of the government and donor organizations represented in GGGI’s partner countries. It also drew on the whole-of-agency

knowledge on the country conditions, challenges, opportunities, and progress to-date and weaved in the innovative learning across GGGI. The country business plans focus on the GGGI’s strategic

outcomes relevant to the partner country, address the cross-cutting features of institutional governance and capacity building, policy aspects for unleashing investment to green growth, gender and social

inclusion, and partnerships across the government institutions, donors, and the private sector.

Africa and Europe GGGI has been working in African since its establishment as an international organization in 2012, commencing with operations in Ethiopia and Rwanda. GGGI has since added

five new programs in the African region in Uganda, Senegal, Morocco, Mozambique and, the most recently, in Burkina Faso. In addition to its African operations, GGGI manages

programs in Hungary for the Balkan countries and in Jordan as part of the Africa cum Europe portfolio. The programs currently cover all four thematic areas, but have a particular

focus on green cities, energy and support to National Financing Vehicles (NFVs).

Achievements in 2017-2018: Key among the achievements in GGGI’s Africa and Europe portfolio are exemplified by national green growth strategies adopted in Jordan and

Uganda, which provide strengthened national-level frameworks for green growth. Sector-level policies and plans were developed in Rwanda and Senegal that facilitated preparation

of green projects, including the Rubavu Eco-tourism project in Rwanda that will generate green jobs. GGGI’s capacity building was effective, for example in Morocco and

Mozambique, enhancing political will and urgency in the Governments’ interest in green growth policy design and adoption. In the two countries, GGGI’s support to design NFVs

a was key to accessing climate finance design from Hungary. These successes lent demonstration value, which in turn led to mobilization of additional green finance in Ethiopia,

with where USD 397 million climate funding was attained for the Mekele sanitation project in 2017 alone. GGGI also designed new NFVs for Senegal and the Western Balkans.

The portfolio has leveraged the use of experience through knowledge transfer programs. In Ethiopia and Rwanda, the NFVs have been shared with countries across the Region. The

new Burkina Faso program is managed by the existing Senegal Country Representative, also offering a new model for GGGI to instill opportunities for programmatic synergies as

well as value for money.

Workplan for 2019-2020: GGGI’s programs in Africa designed to continue progress toward the right-hand side of the value chain to project design and financial engineering, by

developing bankable projects with significant impact on NDCs and SDGs. There will also be new thematic focus areas, particularly in sustainable landscapes in Ethiopia,

Mozambique, Uganda and in water Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Senegal. To meet the demand for development of projects at the regional level, GGGI will engage with regional entities

and regional leaders. These will focus on initiatives where GGGI can provide value-added and complementarity, such as in regional climate finance and capacity building with

regional organizations.

Green Cities: Rates of urbanization above 4 per cent are common across Africa and the Middle East. This transition presents an opportunity to develop low-carbon, smart and

resilient cities through the adoption of green growth approaches. GGGI’s support to the development of sustainable secondary green cities will continue in Rwanda, Uganda and

Senegal. Building on the work from the 2017-2018 WPB, GGGI will focus on the implementation of green growth strategies for these secondary cities through the development of

bankable projects in waste management, urban mobility, and access to sustainable sanitation and energy. The Burkina Faso program will seek to apply best practices from GGGI’s

regional experience in developing planning and policy for secondary cities. An exciting development in the Green Cities theme is GGGI’s emerging focus on sustainable transport.

In Jordan will develop strategies and bankable projects in the electric mobility sector. In Morocco, GGGI will support the implementation of the National Sustainable Mobility

Roadmap through policy advice and project development. Water and sanitation presents another emerging theme for GGGI programs in Africa, with bankable projects to be developed

for waste water and sludge management in Ethiopia, Rwanda and Uganda.

Sustainable Energy: While access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa has increased in recent years, it is still generally low by global standards with many countries’ access rates of

less than 35%. GGGI will support increased access to sustainable energy through its green energy programs. In Uganda, GGGI will implement a project to increase access to clean

energy for low income urban households in two secondary cities of Mbarara and Gulu. Renewable energy for productive uses will be central to GGGI’s programs in Mozambique

and Senegal, with co-benefits stemming from improvement of agricultural productivity and reduction of natural capital depletion.

Sustainable Landscapes: Sustainable Landscapes is an emerging focus sector for GGGI’s African portfolio, with considerable opportunities to deliver impact. For example, in

Ethiopia 90 per cent of GHG emissions come from agriculture and livestock, including deforestation and forest degradation, while majority of the population in the region is employed

in these sectors, particularly among the vulnerable segments. GGGI will support the development of climate resilient agricultural supply chains in Uganda, Mozambique, Ethiopia,

Rwanda and Burkina Faso. GGGI will also directly support investment in the sector via Ethiopia’s National Agricultural Investment Framework and work on climate resilience in

Rwanda by supporting the implementation of the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience. GGGI will also support the development of micro-insurance for smallholders in Ethiopia

to increase their resilience to climate risks.

National Financing Vehicles: Access to international climate finance is a key to the success of green growth strategies. GGGI will continue to strengthen the operations of and

3

mobilize resources for Ethiopia’s CRGE Facility and Rwanda’s FONERWA fund. GGGI will seek to operationalize the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (REEF) in

Senegal and the Western Balkan Green Fund in partnership with the Government of Hungary. Building on this experience, GGGI will support the development of NFVs in Uganda

to implement the Uganda Green Growth Development Strategy; and Burkina Faso is learning from Senegal’s REEF experience to set up its own energy efficiency fund. GGGI will

also work with in-country institutions, such as by supporting the accreditation of Direct Access Entities (DAEs) in partnership with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) in Jordan, Burkina

Faso, and Uganda.

Partnerships and Resource Mobilization: GGGI’s Africa and Europe region has been successful in mobilizing resources from a range of development partners. GCF Readiness

projects are currently being implemented in Rwanda and Jordan. Readiness projects are expected to be approved for implementation in 2019-2020 in Mozambique, Ethiopia, Burkina

Faso, Senegal and Uganda. Italy’s Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea (IMELS) is supporting the development of bankable project pipelines in Ethiopia and Rwanda. The

Netherlands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs support a project to accelerate consumer and market access to solar home systems in Uganda, and Luxembourg’s Ministry of Sustainable

Development and Infrastructure is considering support to the development of sustainable private public partnerships and business models for human waste recycling and valorization

in Senegal.

Regional Hub: To enhance its support to the Africa and Europe region’s portfolio, GGGI is establishing a regional office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This office will enable GGGI

better serve its country programs in the Africa Region with a focus to ensure GGGI’s impact and value in its partner countries and help with stronger resource mobilization through

a decentralized model, including capitalizing on its close liaisons with organizations such as the GCF, the African Development Bank, the Africa Union, UN Habitat Nairobi, UNECA

(United Nations Economic Commission for Africa), COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and SADC (Southern African Development Community). GGGI

has received several expressions of interest from development partners for regional projects. GGGI and AfDB have signed an MoU to develop regional initiatives. Other potential

partners for regional initiatives include GCF, KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency) and IMELS (Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land and Sea).

Burkina Faso

Country Strategy:

GGGI operations in Burkina Faso officially started in 2018, with the country still in its early stage of cooperation with GGGI. The country’s membership ratification process is

ongoing and is expected to be completed by March 2018. Ahead of this, GGGI conducted a series of pre scoping missions which took place in a post insurrectional period which

ended with a president elected in end 2015. The new Government’s ambition to ground its development actions on a green growth approach led to the establishment of the Ministry

of Environment, Green Economy and Climate Change. Furthermore, the Country’s new development strategy – (Program for National Economic and Social Development – PNDES)

– aims to reverse environmental degradation trends and ensure sustainable management of natural resources. In this regard, PNDES implementation guidelines include Improved

environmental governance and the mainstreaming of green economy perspectives in development policies.

The Government of Burkina Faso (GoBF) set a specific objective within PNDES articulated as follow: mitigation and adaptation capacities to the adverse effects of climate change

are reinforced to ensure an effective transition to the green economy. To achieve this, PNDES plans in its implementation to increase the amount of sequestered carbon to 8 million

tons by 2020 and create 2000 Eco-villages. Other specific actions will focus on reducing carbon emissions, building resilience to climate change, developing and promoting non-

timber forest products, promoting sustainable consumption and production patterns and fighting against anarchic exploitation of mineral resources. In its Intended Nationally

Determined Contributions – INDC of October 2015), GoBF sets two objectives: (i) Mitigation objectives, aiming to reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and (ii) Adaptation objectives,

aiming to reducing the vulnerability of natural and human systems to the effect of current or expected climate changes.

Building on the pre-scoping missions’ outcomes, and the country’s appetite for GGGI support, interventions in 2018 to support the national priorities and linked to GGGI strategic

outcomes are structured around: (i) supporting the Country’s Readiness for GCF Funding: Burkina Faso has requested support for strengthening its environment intervention fund

(FIE). FIE is positioned by the GoBF as the main vehicle for channeling climate finance resources to support the Country’s mitigation and adaption initiatives. FIE as a Direct Access

Entity for GCF being an opportunity to achieve this, the GGGI team, following the Government’s request, drafted a readiness proposal submitted recently for GCF funding; (ii)

Support to the Eco-village project: This is a flagship initiative under PNDES, stemming from a presidential initiative. The project’s overarching objectives are to strengthen rural

communities’ resilience to climate risks and promote local economies. The project in its approach will leverage ongoing experience from Burkina Faso which is implementing a

similar initiative. GGGI is supporting resource mobilization efforts to fund the Ecovillage project. GGGI team helped draft a funding concept note under preparation to be submitted

to GCF for its recently created Simplified Approval Process window (with funding up to $10 million); (iii) Formulation of the Country Planning Framework to provide the strategic

orientations of GGGI’s work in Burkina Faso over the next five years.

Country Program

GGGI’s ongoing and anticipated future support will focus on helping Burkina Faso deliver the PNDES and generate green growth. Specific intervention pillars will be defined in the

upcoming CPF to be developed in 2018. These will however include ongoing technical assistance for FIE accreditation and support to the delivery of the ecovillage project. Building

on the outcomes of the meetings and GoBF priorities, GGGI focuses on three areas (to be adjusted when the Country Planning Framework is elaborated in 2018):

(i) Sustainable Landscape and scaling up of Eco-villages development model: focusing on agroforestry (e.g., cotton, rice, processing of fruit, Conservation Agriculture)

and renewable energy for productive uses best practices to power a stronger and inclusive social and economic rural development. This will contribute to GHG emissions

reduction, Creation of Green Jobs, Increased access to green affordable energy, Increased access to improved sanitation, Increased access to sustainable waste management,

Increased access to sustainable public transport, Improved air quality Adequate supply of ecosystem services and Enhanced adaptation to climate change.

(ii) Green Cities development: GGGI will support the GoBF for the formulation of Guidelines for Green Secondary Cities’ development, and a Roadmap for the

implementation of guidelines in 2 pilot cities to create an enabling environment to integrate the green perspective into the planning and policy documents for increased

access to green affordable energy, increased access to improved sanitation, increased access to sustainable waste management, increased access to sustainable public

transport.

(iii) Inclusive Green growth Capacity development: GGGI will: (a) work with University of Ouaga 1, GoBF Agencies and other Training and Research Institutions to roll-

out to scale the long-term capacity building and knowledge sharing efforts in partnership with the Initiative of Least Developed Countries Consortium on Climate Change

– LUCCC; and (b) Support GoBF to set-up a national accredited entity to the Green Climate Fund as innovative national financing vehicle.

Ethiopia

Country Strategy

GGGI’s contributions have evolved rapidly in Ethiopia since the program’s inception in 2010, with notable long-term successes in the development of the Climate Resilient Green

Economy (CRGE) Strategy and the CRGE Facility in Ethiopia. Since then, GGGI interventions have primarily focused on providing technical assessments, strategy development,

analytical work, capacity development, project development and implementation to support Ethiopia’s critical transition to a national green growth model and the effective

implementation of the CRGE. Overall, GGGI’s interventions in key emission-heavy sectors of water, energy, agriculture, forestry and cities have contributed to accelerating green

growth in Ethiopia. GGGI’s major achievements in 2017-18 include: determining the financial requirements and options for full implementation of the CRGE strategy/NDCs; the

development of a sector-wide system for tracking climate change expenditure; the development and implementation of REDD+ investment proposals (through providing technical

support to the REDD+ Secretariat); Supporting the climate diplomacy efforts of the country in the LDC chairmanship in the UNFCCC process ;Supporting the Industrial Parks

Development Corporation (IPDC); Supporting the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) develop an investment profile on the Mekelle City Water Supply Project; and the development of

a MRV system for the CRGE. Additionally, GGGI secured funding from the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea (IMELS) for a 10 months cooperation project in Climate

Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Ethiopia. GGGI’s 2019-2020 operations will build on the successes of the periods 2014-2016 and 2017-18, and will continue supporting and

and up-scaling existing projects. Priority outcomes for 2019-20 will specifically contribute to outcomes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of Ethiopia’s Country Planning Framework (CPF) (2016-

2020).

Country Program

GGGI supports Ethiopia with a focus on CRGE and NDC implementation, identifying green economy opportunities that can enable Ethiopia to realize its ambitious growth targets

of becoming a middle income country by 2025 while keeping greenhouse gas emissions to 2010 levels. Building on previous successes, GGGI Ethiopia will continue to put safeguards

and gender issues at the heart of its country program. This will be underpinned by delivering relevant policy instruments/guidelines, building capacity of key CRGE executing

ministries and institutions with regards to adoption and strengthening of gender mainstreaming policies, and incorporating Environmental and Social Safeguard (ESS) in its projects.

Based on the priorities of the CRGE strategy, GGGI has anchored its planned interventions for 2019/2020 on cross cutting, water and sustainable landscape areas:

i. Cross cutting: Accelerating pro-poor inclusive green growth in Ethiopia by mainstreaming climate change and NDC implementation into development

initiatives, providing sector-level programmatic planning for mitigation actions and supporting the resource mobilization efforts of the CRGE facility. GGGI

will work with key CRGE executing ministries and institutions in the adoption of policies to reflect gender inclusivity and the strengthening the overall gender

policy and analysis capacity. This effort is underpinned by the following relevant policy instruments/guidelines: i. Environmental and Social Safeguard (ESS)

Assessment; ii. Environmental and Social Management (ESM) framework; iii. CRGE-focused Gender framework guides and action plan; Etc.

ii. Sustainable Landscapes: Increasing the resilience and reducing the vulnerability of livelihoods and landscapes in Ethiopia by mainstreaming gender-

responsive, climate smart approaches and tools. GGGI’s intervention targets towards food insecure and vulnerable populations through the PSNP4, being

implemented across 8 regions, 329 woredas (districts) that have been identified as chronically food insecure. Core beneficiaries amount to 8 million people

across the following PSNP regions, Amhara, Afar, Oromia, SNNPR, Tigray, Somali, Dire Dawa and Harar. GGGI will support on the development of the

NAIF’s Financing Strategy that targets vulnerable groups facing challenges with adequately accessing some of the following: secure food supply; adequate

education; sufficient incomes; green jobs; management of resources; etc. Additionally, GGGI aims to provide technical support and capacity building for the

development and implementation of livestock efficiency and forest sector transformation initiatives within the framework of REDD+ implementation.

iii. Water: Increasing Ethiopia’s sustainable water resource management by creating a national financing vehicle to support micro-insurance rollout for 50,000

– 75,000 smallholder farmers in the 4 regions of Tigray, Amhara, Oromia and SNNPR, to increase their climate resilience to weather related water risks. The

project will create green jobs and secure food supply for the groups vulnerable to climate change. GGGI will support industrial Parks Development Cooperation

with the development of bankable projects and mobilisation of funds for sustainable waste water and sludge management at the 9 eco-industrial parks across

Ethiopia, the key areas for the realisation of the GTP II targets; and GGGI will develop projects for policy interventions for water resource management.

Partnership and Resource Mobilization

The country progam works with the the GoE to support the country’s development goals based on the CRGE Strategy and its NDCs. The Ministry of Environment, Forest and

Climate Change (MEFCC) is the responsible government institution for coordinating the CRGE. The Ministry of Finance and International Cooperation (MOFEC) is the key partner

responsible for raising climate financing through the CRGE faclity and coordinating development partners. In addition to MEFCC and MOFEC, GGGI is involved with the Ministry

of Agriculture & Livestock (MoAL), the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Electricity (MoWIE) and the Ministry of Industry (MOI) to share knowledge transfer and provide technical

backstopping, especially regarding CRGE sector mainstreaming, program and project structuring, and attracting development funding.


Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Ethiopia for 2019-2020: $1.5 million; Government counterpart funding: $0.0 million, In-kind: $0.05 million; and Donor co-

financing of the program is expected at $1.3 million in the biennium.

Hungary

Country Strategy:

Hungary is a member of GGGI since 2016. The Host Country Agreement has been signed and the Institute is registered in Hungary as an international organization since 2018. A

Project Office was set up in Budapest hosted by the Ministry of National Development (renamed in May 2018 to Ministry of Innovation and Technology) and GGGI works with the

Climate Policy Department (CPD). The activities in Hungary are focusing on regional and national support for the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

and green projects in developing countries. The current projects are the following:

(i) The design of financing instruments supporting the implementation of the Paris Agreement - including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and adaptation plans

- in the Western Balkan countries (i.e., Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia). The design

approach is built around Results-Based Management framework1. The objective of this approach is to deliver a consultative, step-by-step process of fund establishment in

close partnership with stakeholders. In October 2017, GGGI launched a stakeholder consultation to inform the design of the fund. In addition, an Advisory Committee,

composed of representatives of relevant Ministries in Hungary and stakeholders, was formed to ensure the alignment of the financial mechanism with national development

plans. In parallel, GGGI has engaged a dialogue with the Western Balkan countries to align the scope of the fund with countries’ priorities and assess the needs and challenges

in the Western Balkan countries. Working in close cooperation with the Climate Policy Department of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology, the concept is being

developed, the sectoral priorities have been identified (pre-scoping), the budget have been developed and the engagement with potential donors is ongoing. The financial

instruments to reach beneficiaries are being developed, including financial proposals to mobilize private capital (green bonds). The final proposal will be submitted to the

Government for approval in the last quarter of 2018. This project will be closed in December 31, 2018.

(ii) Coordination and supervision of a pre-feasibility study and business plans to support the development of bankable projects for sustainable irrigation of commercial farming

in Uganda. Working closely with the Ministry of National Development, the terms of reference for the project have been finalized. The bidding process to recruit a firm to

conduct the pre-feasibility study and develop business plans was launched in May 2018. This project is expected to be completed within 9 months.

Balkan Program:

GGGI supports Hungary in developing bankable projects in Eastern European countries contributing to the implementation of green growth with a focus on Nationally Determined

Contributions.

(i) Develop Bankable Projects in Eastern Europe to Support NDCs and Green Growth: GGGI will partner with multilateral bank/donors to design blended finance operations

that are mobilizing green finance and addressing the current market barriers for the deployment of green projects in Eastern Europe.

The developing countries in Eastern Europe have only marginally benefitted from climate finance4. While financial resources are available in the region - including resources from

the EBRD, the GCF, the Western Balkan Investment Framework, and number of bilateral donors – market failures persist and prevent the deployment of green projects at scale.

Overall, the region is lacking mature, commercially viable green projects. The region is further overly relying on grant financing for the implementation of climate projects5.

Removing barriers require a suite of interventions that are country and sectors specific, involving different partners, training and finance institutions. GGGI will add value by bringing

expertise in mobilizing green investments in developing countries and expertise in relevant sectors (Water and Sanitation, Sustainable Energy, Sustainable Landscape and Green

Cities). GGGI will develop financial schemes adapted to the local conditions that are providing market-based incentives in the region, using concessional funding in a strategic way

and creating an enabling environment for commercial financing.


GGGI is actively engaged in a dialogue with potential donors to support this Country Business Plan. Among others, GGGI is discussing with EBRD who has an interest in supporting

financially marginally bankable projects, covering support for feasibility studies and projects, with preference given to blended finance operations. EBRD could also leverage finance

through the GCF to support NDCs related work in Eastern Europe. GGGI is working closely with the UNFCCC focal points and National Designated Authorities (NDAs) in Eastern

Europe to leverage funding under the GCF Readiness Programme. GGGI has also engaged dialogue with the European Commission and the Energy Community for potential

synergies with existing programs and projects in the region. Key partners that GGGI has engaged for resource mobilization include EBRD, EU countries, the Green Climate Fund

and the World Bank.

Jordan

Country Strategy

GGGI worked with the Ministry of Environment and counterparts across sectors to develop the National Green Growth Plan (NGGP) between 2015 and 2016, with approval by

Cabinet in February 2017, and official launch in May 2017. The NGGP received a special mention from the League of Arab States who supports the use of Jordan’s NGGP as a

“success story of the Arab countries in the the field of green economy” to be spread regionally as an approch to green growth planning and implementation. In 2018, GGGI began to

support the implementation of the NGGP by developing a pipeline of 18 bankable project concept notes (and preparing two for finance, see below), and with the development and

approval of a GCF Readiness Proposal (implementation expected in mid-2018). Action planning for the NGGP to mainstream green growth into the Vision 2025 was requested from

government in early 2017, and approved for core funding in March 2018.

In October 2017, GGGI-Jordan completed the options assessment and validation worksohp for the Jordan Country Planning Framework (CPF). The Jordan CPF focuses on the smart

urban cluster of the NGGP – transport, waste and energy sectors. In support of this, GGGI selected 2 projects from its pipeline to prepare for finance, both in the transport sector.

These potential “home runs” can demonstrate tangible results and spread awareness about Jordan’s potential in the electric mobility sector, catalyze further investments in sustainable

transport, and make Jordan a regional leader in e-mobility uptake. GGGI-Jordan is partnering with Greater Amman Municipality (GAM), AFD, and University of Jordan to develop

its BRT e-bus study into a bankable project. GGGI-Jordan will also work with Min. of Environment, Min. of Transport, Min. of Energy and the Royal Hashemite Court to develop

business models and projects to increase the availability of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Jordan. Together these will support Jordan’s goals of achieving 14% GHG

emissions reduction by 2030, improving urban air quality, and catalyzing electric mobility to improve the country’s energy efficiency and reduce its dependence on oil imports.

Country Program:

Based on the NGGP, Vision 2025 and various sectoral strategies and plans, GGGI’s cross-cutting urban development and green growth finance activities provide tailored green

growth technical assistance, capacity buildling and investment services in the transport, waste and energy sectors with the following strategic objectives:

(i) Cross-Cutting Urban Development and Green Growth Finance. Enabling green growth across key sectors by increasing the economic strength, sustainability and social

inclusiveness of Jordan’s urban areas, and by leveraging more finance for green growth from existing or new, national or international, public or private sector sources.

(ii) Sustainable Transport. Improving access to public transportation services and sustainable mobility by developing strategies and bankable projects in the electric mobility

sector, in support of the implementation of the Long Term National Transport Strategy and Jordan’s NDC pledge of 14% reduction in GHG emissions. GGGI’s work in

other countries in this area will be leveraged for cross-program learning and knowledge exchange.

(iii) Solid Waste Management. Improving access to solid waste management services by increasing capacity of government and private sector, and increasing investment in

infrastructure and businesses for waste separation at source and collection, in support of the implementation of the National Solid Waste Management Strategy and Action

Plan.

(iv) Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency. Increasing the efficiency and sustainability of Jordan’s energy mix by attracting investment in more green energy projects and

designing innovative business models for energy efficiency services, in support of the implementation of the National Energy Strategy and National Action Plan for Energy

Efficiency.


Country Partnership Strategy: The Jordan Program relies on its close partnerships with national stakeholders and development partners to make use of synergies and ensure

maximum impact. Key elements of these partnerships in the 2018-2020 period include:

• Finalization of the Host Country Agreement in 2018.

• Enhanced engagement with government development banks and financing institutions (Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Cities and Villages Development

Bank and the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund).

• A better defined private sector engagement approach to articulate GGGI’s service offerings and strategic objectives with private sector (such as commercial banks, tech

companies, green service providers, etc.).

• Deeper collaboration with local knowledge partners, including WANA Institute and University of Jordan, to connect its policy and project activities to useful knowledge

projects for public consumption.

• More frequent engagement with local NGOs representing youth, refugees, and other marginalized groups, and maintaining a strong media presence with a consistent

message.

• Strong coordination with development partners, including GIZ, World Bank, UN agencies, EBRD, EIB, KfW, AFD, FES, USAID.

14

Resource Mobilization Strategy: Jordan program is currently 100% funded through core, but resource mobilization efforts have significantly increased for programs and projects

relevant to the CPF in the 2018-2022 period.

Morocco

Country Strategy:

The Government of the Kingdom of Morocco (GoM) has a national policy framework that supports its transformation toward an inclusive green growth model, which is consistent

with GGGI’s vision, mission and strategic goals. The National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS), adopted by the government in June 2017, aims to coordinate the related

objectives of all sectorial strategies. It reflects the vision stated in the National Charter for the Environment and Sustainable Development (CNEDD), adopted in 2014, and

encompasses the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), as well as its

new public sector decentralization process, known as advanced regionalization. The GoM needs external support to enable the implementation of these commitments, including

sectoral policies and regulations, conditional NDC targets, investments, and institutional capacity building. On May 15, 2018, GoM validated the NSDS sectoral sustainable

development plans (PADDs), which forms the primary basis for GGGI support under the 2019-2020 biennial program and specifies the measures and indicators for GoM and its

partners to take active steps to implement the NSDS under the advanced regionalization framework through integrated sub-national green territories development with a focus on

key sectors namely, transport, energy, waste, water, and agriculture.

In June 2016, the Council of Government approved the GGGI Membership Agreement, followed by the Council of Ministers in June 2017, and by both Houses of Parliament. It has

been submitted to the Royal Cabinet for consideration, the final step before treaty ratification. In parallel, the GoM and GGGI signed a Memorandum of Understanding in October

2017 to strengthen cooperation on accelerating Morocco’s transition to a green and inclusive economy. The Secretary of State for Sustainable Development (SEDD), which is

GGGI’s focal point ministry, and GGGI co-organized two events in 2017. The first was a 2-day Green Territories Development capacity building workshop during which the GGGI

- GoM MOU signing ceremony took place. The second was a COP23 side event on "Implementing National Sustainable Development Strategies: act locally for global impact” at

the Morocco Pavilion, during which government representatives from Jordan, Senegal and Morocco and GGGI Morocco presented their national green growth programs and

sustainable development strategies, and highlighted GGGI support for these programs and strategies. The MOU is consistent with the proposed planning directions for this Country

Business Plan (CBP) to strengthen cooperation on Morocco’s transition to a green and inclusive economy with a focus on two priority green territories implementation projects with

potential for scalability. A five-year country strategy for 2019-2023 is currently under development.

Country Program:

GGGI's supports the Moroccan government’s commitment to transition to a green economy, one of the pillars of the National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS). GGGI will

accompany the NSDS implementation process aimed at promoting a green, inclusive, integrated and sustainable development model at the territorial (regional) level. Its support will

focus on the development of policies and incentives, identification and design of bankable projects, and assistance in mobilizing funding for their implementation, in alignment with

the advanced regionalization process adopted by the Kingdom of Morocco.

The program aim is to increase access to climate and green growth finance; strengthen national institutional capacity and policy development in the Transport/Mobility and Energy

sectors to implement and accelerate investments the NSDS and NDCs to stimulate national and sub-national investments; and improve the enabling environment in the territories in

order to catalyze pro-poor, pro-youth, inclusive, and gender-sensitive investments in environmental goods and services (EGS), the NSDS, NDCs, and SDGs by providing technical

assistance to the newly created Regional Project Execution Agencies (AREPs). AREPs are constitutionally mandated to ensure technical and financial expertise to develop the

regional project pipelines. GGGI will support the AREPs to structure select projects in their pipeline and mobilize resources for their implementation, in the areas of waste, energy,

mobility, water and sustainable land use. Two priority regions have been identified and agreed upon with the Ministry of Interior (MI) that contain fragile oasis and mountainous

ecosystems, one of which will be the focus of our sub-national work in the 2019-2020 biennial program. The aim is to develop a replicable approach that can be scaled up on a

national level in future phases. Based on the NSDS and Morocco’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) No. 9, which is to “create a model, low-carbon city (and territory)

centered on optimizing energy, transport and waste management,” GGGI focuses on four areas:

(ii) Cross cutting: Mobilizing finance for NSDS and NDC green growth projects

(iii) GGGI proposes to support the design, implementation and operationalization of a multi-sectoral NFV and its institutional framework to ensure its sustainability in terms of

governance, capacity building, and mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation. GGGI's technical support also includes links with donors, and assistance with the preparation

of financially viable project proposals on both a national level, in alignment with the GCF Country Plan and Green Investment Plan, and on the subnational level through

GGGI’s technical assistance to the AREPs, contributing to the NDC target of closing the green investment gap of $24 billion in conditional investments and contributing to

Morocco’s goal of national an overall GHG emission reduction target of 42% below BAU emissions by 2030.

(iv) Transport & Mobility: Improved national transport/mobility access and transition to green transport/ mobility

(v) GGGI will provide policy advice and project development services to GoM to increase access to sustainable transport and mobility, transition to green transport/mobility,

18

and support the implementation of the National Sustainable Mobility Roadmap, contributing to NDC target of 23% energy savings in the transport sector by 2030.

(vi) Sustainable Energy: Improved national access to renewable energy and energy efficiency

(vii) GGGI will provide policy advice and project development services to the GoM to improve national access to renewable energy and energy efficiency and contribute to the

NDC target of providing 52 % of the installed electrical power from renewable sources and the NSDS target of 20% energy savings by 2030.Cross cutting: Sub-national

framework: Accelerating inclusive green territories development and green growth finance

(viii) GGGI will catalyze the development of Morocco’s inclusive green territories and support the AREP in selectively and strategically developing a pipeline of bankable,

sustainable, inclusive and scalable projects to attract investments and transition to a low carbon economy, contributing to Morocco’s NSDS target of 20% energy savings

by 2030; and NDC targets of 23% energy savings in the transport sector by 2030; 20% recycled materials rate by 2020; 50% wastewater reuse rate in inland cities by 2020;

60% wastewater treatment rate by 2020; and closing the green investment gap of $24 billion in conditional investments.


GGGI Morocco has been building ties with in-country priority donors and conducted comprehensive partner and donor consultations on a national level, which provide the foundation

for the 2019 - 2020 biennial country program. Partnership and stakeholder consultations will be able to be conducted on the subnational level within the priority region (also called

“territory”) once a formal agreement is in place with the Ministry of Interior. Various donors and international financing institutions have indicated an interest in supporting GGGI’s

efforts to assist Morocco in implementing its NSDS territorial approach to transitioning to inclusive green growth. GGGI has been requested by these donors to share the country

program once approved by GGGI-GoM, in order to identify avenues for involvement and contribution. Discussions with the GCF focal point, appointed in April 2018, and key

ministries (Ministry of Interior; Ministry of Energy, Mines and Sustainable Development; Secretary of State for Sustainable Development; Secretary of State for Transportation)

have also resulted in the identification of GCF as priority source of funding through GGGI support in proposal development and as an Authorized Delivery Partner.

Mozambique

Country Strategy:

Following the signing of an MoU with the Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development (MITADER), Ministry of Finance (MEF), and Ministry of Natural Resources and

Energy (MIREME), GGGI formally launched its Mozambique program in early 2017, focusing on 2 key areas: 1) Assessment of the inclusive green growth potential of Mozambique,

and 2) Scaling up renewable energy for productive use in rural areas.

GGGI completed the Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) in February 2017, which identifies five priority areas for inclusive green growth in Mozambique, with (1)

agricultural productivity, (2) natural resource depletion, and (3) renewable energy representing technical or economic challenges, and (4) good governance and (5) education as

enablers to advances in the first three areas. To date, GGGI has focused on renewable energy - preparing an assessment study on the barriers to private sector participation in the off-

grid solar sector and a market assessment of potential off-grid renewable energy opportunities for productive use. Building on these outputs, GGGI’s main objective will be to enable

investments in off-grid electrification projects, in order to effectively contribute to poverty reduction and sustainable development through increased access to energy for rural areas.

GGGI will also develop a project pipeline in the agricultural sector, centring on adaptation and climate-resilient practices, in both production and processing. This will directly

complement work in the renewable energy sector, defining opportunities for solar powered irrigated agriculture and the building of pro-poor and inclusive ‘green’ supply chains to

provide produce to markets.

Country Program:

GGGI supports Mozambique with a focus on implementing its NDCs and promoting rural development. Based on the Green Economy Action Plan, GGGI focuses on three areas:

(i) Cross-cutting: Implementing the NDCs to Promote Low-Carbon Inclusive Growth in Mozambique

Climate action is a key theme of green growth and, together with NDCs, are the primary instruments of the Paris Climate Agreement. GGGI will support the Government of

Mozambique (GoM) through coordination and planning of NDC actions in two economic sectors, including the implementation of NDC targets through roadmap and project pipeline

development in the waste and transport sectors. This will strengthen the quality of its NDC and its implementation, whilst ensuring alignment with, and realisation of, the country’s

SDG goals

(ii) Energy: Mobilizing Finance for Pro-poor and Inclusive Green Energy in Mozambique

Enhancing access to energy in rural areas will increase economic development and poverty reduction in Mozambique. Key support areas identified for strategic impact include

improving agricultural growth and productivity10, education and energy efficiency related to natural resource usage. GGGI will support MIREME and FUNAE (rural energy fund)

in strengthening the enabling environment and developing a pipeline of projects around energy access in rural off-grid Mozambique. The objective is to diversify/enhance incomes

of farmers, reduce vulnerability to fuel supply, fuel price and water availability fluctuations, as well as enable adaptation to a changing climate. GGGI’s work will also support GoM

in developing financing mechanisms for scaling up climate and private sector financing in renewable energy access. GGGI will continue to work with other relevant stakeholders,

such as MASA and MEF, in this work stream.

(iii) Sustainable Landscapes: Developing Market-Driven Climate Resilient Agricultural Supply Chains

Growth in Mozambique’s agricultural sector has largely been driven by expanding the area under cultivation, at the expenses of forest cover, rather than increasing productivity.

GGGI will support GoM in addressing climate-vulnerable agriculture and natural capital depletion by building new or upgrading existing supply chains centred on achieving increased

productivity through sustainable land management and climate-resilient practices. The output will be investment plans for agricultural supply chain development and the identification

of market opportunities for climate resilient investments by producers, processors and end users.

10 The agriculture sector is the pillar of Mozambique’s economy - it contributes 24% of GDP, and employs 90% of the country´s female labour force and 70% of the male labour force. The GGPA for Mozambique identified

agricultural productivity as one of five priority areas for green growth intervention.

22


GGGI implements its program in Mozambique through a strategic partnership with MITADER as the lead coordination Ministry, and with MIREME, FUNAE and MEF in key

implementation sectors. Engagement with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Affairs (MGCAS) will be prioritized to cover gender and social aspects. Mozambique is not

yet a member of GGGI, membership discussions will be prioritized. GGGI has been closely coordinating with all major development partners operating in the country, including

multilateral development banks and UN agencies, as well as relevant private sector players. GGGI is part of the Energy Sector Donor Working group in Mozambique (which includes

USAID, DFID, EU, Sweden, Norway, World Bank, JICA, KFW, UNIDO, VSO, GIZ, AFD, BTC and others), and will continue to connect with partners to pursue joint project

development, ensure efficient dovetailing of support with other organisations, and pursue earmarked resources mobilization in scope of the above work. GGGI will prioritize

engagement with relevant Civil Society Organizations for advice on social and gender issues. Key partners that GGGI will engage for resource mobilization include, but are not

limited to the World Bank, AfDB and JICA for NDC implementation, DfID, EU, AfDB, Korea ExIm Bank and KOICA in the energy sector, and the Islamic Development Bank,

World Bank and Adaptation Fund for the sustainable landscapes work. GGGI will also continue to work closely with the National Designated Authority (NDA) of GCF to identify

support areas, help prepare proposals and serve as delivery partner – a GCF Readiness Proposal on NDC implementation has been prepared for the NDA and is currently under

consideration.


Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Mozambique for 2019-2020: $0.36 million; Government counterpart funding: 0.0 million, In-kind: 0.1 million; and Donor

co-financing of the program is expected at $2.3 million in the biennium.

Rwanda

Country Strategy Rwanda is one of the founding members of GGGI having signed the establishment agreement in June 2013 and ratified the agreement through a Presidential Order in May 2016. GGGI has since then supported the Government

of Rwanda (GoR) with the implementation of the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS2) in the areas of Green Urbanization and Technical Support to the National Fund for Environment and Climate Change, FONERWA. This support has led to development and implementation green urbanization policies at the national level as well as in the Six Secondary Cities. GGGI has mobilized up to US$34 million in 2017-2018

to support Green projects and investment in Rwanda. GGGI Rwanda’s Country Planning Framework (CPF) 2016-2020 provides strategic responses to guide and ensure that Rwanda is on a sustainable development path in

achieving green growth anchored on sustainble infrastructure development to ensure job creation and low carbon growth. By doing so, the Rwandan people will have increaed access to sustainable services and be able to adapt to the impacts of Climate change.

Country Program GGGI in 2019-2020 plans to bring tangible sustainable infrastructure investments and financial instruments by developing bankable projects in the key areas of Green Cities, Sustainable landscape and Sustainable Water Management and Sanitation. Rwanda’s Country program in this biennum (2019-2020) will focus on these four areas:

(i) Green Cities: Rwanda’s urbanization is guided by Green Growth Principles: GGGI support will move more closely to implementation of the climate resilient green cities project by aggregating bankable project

concepts developed at the national and sub-national level and seeking finance for them through the available domestic and international resource mobilization channels. Projects on sustainable infrastructure like green mobility, green building, green airport, renewable energy access, and basic infrastructure are prioritized under this plan from an inclusive green growth implementation approach. The expected outcome

includes Investible Projects in Program 3 of the Rwanda SPCR11 on Climate Resilient Human Settlements developed. This is in line with GGGI’s Strategic Outcomes 1, 2 and 3.

(ii) Cross-Cutting: Sustainable Financial Instruments Support Green Growth Projects: GGGI will continue to provide Technical Support to Rwanda’s Green Fund (FONERWA) to strengthen its capacity for sustainable resource mobilization, as well as developing financial instruments to, among others, stimulate private sector investment to finance at scale green growth projects that address many of the SDGs, Rwanda’s

NDCs, and the GCF partnership. The expected outcomes include strengthened institutional structures and management capacity to support resource mobilization and this fits perfectly with GGGI’s strategic outcome

3 and Rwanda CPF Outcome 3. (iii) Sustainable Water Management and Sanitation: GGGI plans to build comprehensive capacity development of the partner government institutions in the water sector to ensure that resource efficient low carbon

technologies and infrastructure solutions are understood, prioritized and successfully implemented to underpin Rwanda’s green, inclusive and climate resilient growth and development. This support will specifically

focus on ensuring that water and sanitation infrastructure are built, operated and maintained in a sustainable way. This will enable Rwanda to build climate change resilience by enhancing human settlements’ ability to reduce, re-use, and treat wastewater) thereby improving overall resource-efficiency (making settlements more adaptable in the medium-to-long term) and diminishing the levels of contaminants spread by runoff

or waterlogging during heavy rainfall events, currently a pervasive and recurrent challenge for Kigali and projected for the secondary cities if effective measures are not undertaken in planning and implementation.

(iv) Sustainable Landscapes: GGGI will support the implementation of the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) especially in the areas of climate resilience human settlement focusing on building resilience for the six secondary cities. The objective focuses on building climate change resilience in Rwanda by strengthening climate-robustness of district road network, designing and constructing roads and bridges in a

way that they are better able to reduce the risk of landslides, thereby reducing climate change vulnerability of communities and businesses that depend on road transportation. GGGI will support the six secondary

cities to investigate how district roads in Rwanda could be constructed and maintained in ways that minimize damage to and destabilization of the surrounding environment as recommended in the National Roadmap. This will additionally provide opportunities to build new or strengthen current value chains that provide produce from the rural hinterland to consumers and processors in the secondary cities.

GGGI will also support national efforts in the agribusiness value chain, strengthening the integrity of natural ecosystems to protect vulnerable agricultural and forest landscapes and communities in Rwanda in a bid to equip the country to cope with increased disaster risk that accompanies climate change. To achieve this, GGGI will support government efforts on (1) flood and landslide risk reduction and management; (2) climate information services;

and (3) landscape restoration and conservation to reduce landscape fragility, especially in high-risk locations, through increased slope stability. This would make these sites less disaster prone and would enhance ecosystem-

based adaptive capacity for the resident’s livelihood. Such measures will provide bases to develop new or strengthen existing agribusiness value chains, centering on, for example, the production of fresh fruit and vegetables and sustainable forest timber and non-timber forest products. This will further contribute to building the resilience of vulnerable rural communities exposed to the effects of climate change.

11 The Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) is a World Bank and African Development Bank (US$35 million Concessional loan) support program to Rwanda to tackle its climate change related impacts through a

strategic and programmatic approach to reduce proverty and reach Rwanda’s SDGs.

Partnership and Resource Mobilization Partnerships and Resource Mobilization is pursued through a broad range of stakeholder engagements both with government, development partners, member countries, and the private sector, as well as civil society. GGGI has

already made progress on developing and implementing the Rwanda CPF and will continue to do so as we learn and engage further with our partners. This engagement will go beyond simply communication by working directly

with stakeholders to address key challenges and issues associated with the mobilization of resources to support and implement green projects in Rwanda. The table below show the alignment of donors and partners map in Rwnada in relation to the work we do in Rwanda:

Indicative Resource Envelope The indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Rwanda for 2019-2020 is $1.6 million; with Government counterpart funding: $0.0 million, In-kind: $0.0 million; and Donor co-financing of the program is expected

19 The Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) is a World Bank and African Development Bank ($35 million Concessional loan) support program to Rwanda to tackle its climate change related impacts through a strategic and programmatic

approach to reduce proverty and reach their SDGs. GGGI Rwanda is one of the partners involved in the SPCR through its support to FONERWA. 20 The cumulative mitigation potential of NDC measures in the period until 2030 states that, “Preliminary estimations of emission reductions are provided for those mitigation measures where sufficient data is available. The most attractive options are

sustainable charcoal, grid connected hydropower and solar mini grids.”

Senegal

Country Strategy:

GGGI works with the Government of Senegal (GoS) and the other key stakeholders in 2017 has led to: (i) Starting the implementation of the roadmap to apply the Green Secondary City Guidelines in three pilot secondary

cities selected by GoS; (ii) Embarking into the development of the National Green Growth Strategy; (iii) Conducting the Market assessment for Renewable Energy for Productive Uses (RE4PU) combined with the assessment of fifteen waste to energy sectors in terms of rice husk waste to energy production potential, availability of suitable technology, scalability and replicability; (iv) Designing of a National financing vehicle (Renewable & Efficient

Energy Fund “REEF”) as an innovative financing vehicle for increased access to climate finance for private sector through subordinated debt with the Fund’s initial target size of $200 million; (v) Conducting the Market

assessment for alternative fuels from agricultural residues/wastes for consumption at household and other potential industrial levels; and (vi) Resource mobilization on a number of initiatives, with support to the national accredited entity (Centre de Suivi Ecologique) to achieve a successful funding from the Adaptation Fund of the project titled “Reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience of coastal communities in the Saloum Islands

(Dionewar)” for $1.351 million. Several capacity building and knowledge sharing sessions took place at national and local levels with around a hundred direct beneficiaries including the academic environment and the local

government officials and Mayors. The workplan for 2018 is focused on the consolidation of the works from 2017.

CBP/WPB 2019-2020 development has been a participatory process including the vetting of the Steering Committee in its role to review and make recommendations on the planning of activities among other aspects of its

mandate. With the approval of the Executive Summary and the submission of the first final draft of CPF in late 2017, a new development being highlighted in the CBP/WPB 2019-2020 is related to sustainable landscapes and renewable energies for productive uses in rural areas. The programs on Green Cities and Green Growth Governance are being consolidated and moving towards securing investments for implementation and scaling up with

emphasis on replication of successful models at national, provincial and local level (e.g. district, municipalities) as well as national level. The new programmatic areas on sustainable landscapes and renewable energies for

productive uses in rural areas are at the early stage of the value chain.

Country Program: GGGI supports SENEGAL with a focus on the pillars of the ‘Plan Senegal Emergent’ (PSE) Priority Action Plan (2nd generation 2019-2023) to operationalize the PSE in key strategic areas of agriculture, housing and other

buildings, industry, and water and sanitation infrastructure, transport and human capital development and sustainable improved governance in synergy with the strategic orientations of GGGI. GGGI focuses on three areas:

(i) Urban development - Green Cities development: Senegalese secondary cities’ transition toward inclusive green growth - via increased access to renewable energy, energy efficiency, innovation and green technologies in public transport and urban planning, water for consumption and production, and waste management; contributing to the universal access to sanitation, water and electricity in urban areas, to 26%

reduction in GHG emissions from waste management in cities and industries and to 10% reduction in GHG emissions in the transport sector.

(ii) Rural development - Sustainable Landscape and Renewable Energy for Productive Uses (RE4PU) in rural areas: Renewable energy and sustainable landscape practices power a stronger, inclusive, pro-poor and gender sensitive rural development for the structural transformation of the economy, contributing to the increased access to affordable and reliable energy to 60% of rural population, Reduced deforestation down

to 25%, to overall conditional emission reduction of 10%, to creation of Green jobs and enhanced adaptation to climate change.

(iii) Green growth Capacity development: Governance systems at local and national level provide an enabling environment for innovation, resource-efficient and low carbon economic opportunities, contributing to the increased access to climate finance through national financing vehicle(s), increased knowledge and capacities of stakeholders, creation of green jobs and enhanced adaptation to climate change.

28

Partnership and Resource Mobilization The strategic partnerships and alliances are critical for the success of GGGI operations in Senegal. The stakeholder engagement plan developed by GGGI to support current and future green growth programs in Senegal has identified over the past two years key stakeholders from the government, private sector, research and academic institutions, civil society as well as development agencies and multilateral organizations. The approach to effectively

engage with the stakeholders varies based on the roles and expectations spread along the various stages of the value chain. The partnerships take different forms around the three programmatic areas with some limited to the

resource mobilization stage and others including the design and implementation stages.

Indicative Resource Envelope: Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for SENEGAL for 2019-2020: $1.30 million; Government counterpart funding (0 million), In-kind: $0.06; and Donor co-financing of the program is expected at $2.75 million in the biennium total of$4.50 million.

Uganda

Country Strategy:

The Uganda program started in 2015. Uganda is in advanced stages of accessing GGGI membership, however, a Host Country Agreement with GGGI was signed in early 2018. The

GGGI office is hosted by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development and primarily works with Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development and Ministry

of Energy and Mineral Development as the main counterparts however also support the work of Ministry of Water and Environment, National Planning Authority and the Kampala

Capital City Authority. GGGI through the Green Growth Potential Assessment in a report “Achieving Uganda’s development ambition – the economic impact of green growth: an

agenda for action” supported completion of the Uganda Green Growth Development Strategy, its implementation roadmap, and the national green cities development roadmap.

GGGI further supported the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development in the finalization of the National Urban Policy (NUP) and its strategy, National Urban Solid Waste

Management Policy (NUSWMP) and its strategy and is currently supporting the development of climate resilient green cities guidelines and green cities action plans for two

secondary cities. In 2018, GGGI will support the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development to finalize the energy efficiency bill and develop the energy efficiency investment

plan; provide input to the review of the Renewable Energy policy and development of the renewable energy roadmap and plan. In addition, GGGI will support provide input into the

review of the national environment management policy (NEMP) through facilitating the Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). GGGI commits in its CPF to support GoU in

transitioning towards a Green Economy by mobilizing investment for the Uganda Green Growth Development Strategy; expanding national electricity access by boosting investment

in off-grid renewable energy and energy efficiency; and improving planning and investment in Uganda’s cities to create livable urban environments with improved access to services

with increased jobs and reduced poverty. For further details of the Uganda Country Planning Framework click here.

Country Program:

GGGI Uganda’s multi sectoral program supports Uganda with a focus on increasing green investment flows, support improving planning and investment in Uganda’s cities and

expanding national electricity access by boosting investment in off-grid renewable energy and promoting energy efficiency. In addition, the Country Program also offers opportunities

in Water and Sanitation such as promoting decentralized water and sanitation systems, sustainable water management and in landscapes such as climate resilient agricultural value

chains and resilient natural infrastructure. Based on the NDCs, NDPII and UGGDS GGGI support focuses on the following area;

(i) Cross-Cutting: Mobilizing investment for the Uganda National Green Growth Strategy: GGGI supports the government to mobilize resources for implementation of

UGGDS; establishment of a national fund for green growth and design bankable projects.

(ii) Improved planning and investment in Uganda’s cities: The support shall focus on enhanced physical planning and development of 3 projects in Bus Rapid Transit and

Non- Motorized Transport; Waste to Resource (W2R) and Waste Water to catalyze the urban green growth transformation.

(iii) Expanding access to affordable, sustainable and equitable energy services. GGGI shall support the Ministry of Energy to develop a renewable Energy Roadmap, Energy

Efficiency Investment Plan and develop bankable projects.

(iv) Sustainable Water Management: GGGI supports the government to develop 2 bankable projects wastewater management services in urban/peri-urban areas and climate-

resilient irrigation solutions.

(v) Sustainable Landscapes: GGGI supports the government of Uganda to construct a Climate resilient agricultural supply chain and resilient natural infrastructure.


Partnerships and resource mobilization will be pursued by supporting the National Green Growth Steering Committee, a coordination mechanism chaired by the National Planning

Authority (NPA), which brings together public institutions, development partners, the private sector and civil society organizations to mobilize resources for the implementation of

the National Green Growth Strategy. The NDPII, SDGs, NDCs and UGGDS have created great opportunities for partnership. As a member of the NDC partnership, GGGI supports

the Government to deliver its NDC commitments; GGGI in partnership with the EU is exploring mechanisms to support the Government implement the UGGDS with investment

and TA funding. GGGI and the Government of the Netherlands have entered into an agreement to implement a project to catalyze access to solar market in Uganda to develop a

market based solar home systems solution for Uganda, which provide an opportunity for GGGI to mobilize funds to deliver it. GGGI and GIZ are discussing collaboration in Waste

Management; off grid renewable energy and energy efficiency. This provides an opportunity for consortia partnership. GCF – GGGI strategic partnership has great potential for

mobilizing funds for readiness support for the Government. The other opportunity in the TA support from the government of Hungary to Uganda through the Energy – Water Nexus

Project which is working towards developing 2 business plans and projects in the area of clean energy for medium to large scale irrigation in Uganda. Other opportunities exist IFC

in Waste Management; AFDB in BRT; Government of Norway and USAID in Energy and UKAID in green cities. The existing collaboration with other like-minded organizations

as partners such as Green Economy Coalition (GEC) for engaging CSOs and NCE for economic Analysis provide other resource mobilization opportunities to the country program.

GGGI shall continue to participate in the donor working group meetings, fora and networking events; document and share it programs and their outcomes with the donors; invite the

Asia and the Pacific Green Growth in the Asia and Pacific region

With rapid urbanization, governments in the region prioritize low carbon infrastructure, climate-resilient cities that are energy-efficient and pollution-free. By adopting

environmentally sustainable policies and business models in country development plans, the region has opened opportunities for green investment, which can attract public and

private sector capital. GGGI’s program in the region has increasingly focused on green models to arrest depletion of natural ecosystems such as forests and oceans with far reaching

consequences on global health and productivity due to deforestation and air pollution. GGGI has been an important partner in the countries and in supporting these develop and

implement green growth plans. GGGI’s Asia and the Pacific portfolio implements strategic partnerships and country programs in 16 countries, namely, in Cambodia, China, Fiji,

India, Indonesia, Kiribati, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Tonga, Vanuatu, and Viet Nam. In addition, GGGI implements a

regional program in the Pacific.

Achievements in 2017-2018: Rapid growth has translated in unstructured urbanization within the region, including unruly development of secondary cities. This, in turn, is generating

significant social, economic and environmental challenges, particularly in the areas of waste management, wastewater, and transport. GGGI’s programs work with cities across the

region in 2017 supported preparation of a national strategic plan green secondary cities in Cambodia. The need for clean and renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE)

measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions have become pressing. In 2017, GGGI helped to develop the National Energy Efficiency Action Program to contribute to Mongolia’s

Indicative Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) target to reduce building heat loss by 40 per cent and electricity transmission losses by 43 per cent by 2030. GGGI also

supported the preparation of Fiji’s NDC Implementation Roadmap for the Energy Sector, which aims to achieve 30 percent reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 2030

against BAU (Business-As-Usual) baseline estimated at 1,800 Gg CO2 emissions by 2030. GGGI also supported the greening of the industrial sector and micro-, small, and medium

enterprises (MSMEs) through the NDC Action Plan for the Industrial Sector in Thailand and similarly built capacity in the MSMEs to pursue green practices in the Philippines.

Asia’s forest cover has reduced at an alarming rate, which has adverse consequences on ecosystems and the environment. GGGI supported Indonesia’s forestry sector through

peatland restoration, which included a landscape-wide integrated project for sustainable peatland use and peatland related commodities and community-based processing of raw

products that created added value. Green growth in the Pacific faces implementation challenges, particularly with rural projects; however, the Pacific Island governments have also

shown astute commitment to climate change mitigation, renewable energy development and green growth. GGGI’s regional approach in the Pacific, launched in 2017, provided an

opportunity to support these countries to meet their objectives and promote green growth, with a focus on social inclusion and gender, and contributions to meeting basic needs,

enhancing resilience and mitigating impacts on the environment.

Workplan for 2019-2020: In the 2019-2020 biennium, the Asia and the Pacific Portfolio will continue to support the country programs in the following thematic areas, building on

earlier work and incorporating innovative solutions. GGGI’s work in the Asia and the Pacific will demonstrate pro-poor, inclusive and gender-sensitive green growth in climate-risk

prone countries, particularly in the small island states, and rapidly industrializing and urbanizing countries such as Cambodia and Vietnam. GGGI will continue to use a Climate

Resilient Green Growth approach in various localities in the Philippines to develop policies and investment plans to counter the threats of climate change. GGGI will promote a

climate resilient green growth approach at local level in PNG by introducing an Eco-town approach. Using the Whole-of-Island-Approach, GGGI will continue the implementation

of the Green and Climate Resilient island Development in Kiribati. As part of GGGI’s advisory services, GGGI will continue to develop NFVs, set up Monitoring, Reporting and

Verification (MRV) systems, and provide GCF readiness support in the region.

Green cities: GGGI will build upon its pioneering work in green city development in Cambodia, Thailand, Mongolia and Nepal and develop relevant policies and plan for urban

development. This will integrate inclusive green growth and climate resilience and help identify and prepare the related bankable projects. Transportation and waste management is

a priority for many GGGI’s partner countries. GGGI will support Nepal’s implementation of its electric mobility targets through the Electric Mobility project. The Philippine country

program will support the integration of green transport systems, such as electric tricycles.

Sustainable energy: GGGI will support countries in mobilising finance for clean energy, in addition to providing policy advice and capacity building. GGGI will facilitate unlocking

of financing for renewable energy and clean energy in China, Mongolia, India, Thailand and Fiji through various interventions. The Vanuatu country program will continue its

support to the NGEF (New Government Electrical Factory) by helping identify and develop a pipeline of gender and socially inclusive investments. The GGGI’s Cambodia and

35

Philippine country programs will support the design energy efficiency and renewable energy options to displace fossil fuel-based energy sources and provide inclusive access to

affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy services.

Sustainable landscapes: Working with the governments on identified priority areas, GGGI will help green commodity value chains in India. In Indonesia, GGGI will support the

Government’s initiatives on peatland restoration. GGGI will help Myanmar address urban and rural economic drivers of landscape degradation and deforestation. The Philippines

country program will provide policy advisory support and assistance in the identification and development of bankable climate resilient sustainable landscape projects.

Water and Sanitation: GGGI will work with selected countries on water and sanitation initiatives. The examples related to decentralized water and sanitation systems for those

with constrained or no access to these services. In Kiribati, GGGI will pursue waste management for small islands in partnership with the Pacific Community. In Lao PDR, GGGI

will help the secondary city of Pakse address the city’s wastewater issues. In Mongolia, GGGI will help improve water supply-demand alignment and equal access to safe drinking

water and sanitation, and in Vanuatu, GGGI will support installation of solar powered water pumping units and provide training relevant to community water systems management.

Resilience is central to GGGI’s strategic outcomes in water and sanitation work. The Lao PDR country program will support Vientiane’s efforts to improve solid waste through

policy and infrastructure development support; and in India, GGGI will support the Ministry of Rural Development under the Government’s employment guarantee programme

MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) in bringing climate resilience to water infrastructure investments.

Partnerships and Resource Mobilization: The Asia Pacific Portfolio will continue to strengthen its existing partnerships with GCF and KOICA. GGGI will build partnerships with

Government of Luxembourg, Australia, Korean Export-Import Bank and Economic Development Cooperation Fund, Japan, Germany, and explore opportunities with the Asian

Development Bank, and the World Bank. It will also work with the private sector for potential bankable projects in the various thematic areas where GGGI is involved.

Country Strategy:

Since 2011, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) has been supporting the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) to develop national policy, institutional frameworks and

leverage investment for inclusive green growth. This included the formulation of the RGC’s National Policy for Green Growth (2013), and National Strategic Plan for Green Growth

(2013-2030). GGGI Cambodia is proud to be recognized by the Cambodian Minister of Environment for pioneering green city work in the Kingdom. This started in 2015 with the

Green Urban Development Program (GUDP) Phase 1. The main outputs of the first phase were (1) the Green City Strategic Planning Methodology, which was endorsed by the

Ministry of Environment and its principles incorporated into the Draft Environmental Code, (2) the Phnom Penh Green City Strategic Plan and a list of potential green investment

projects, which has become a project pipeline for a number of development partners and the private sector, and (3) pre-feasibility studies of two priority issues for urban investment

in Phnom Penh, namely decentralized waste water treatment and Energy Efficiency (EE) investment. Building on Phase I, GGGI is currently implementing the GUDP Phase 2. This

second phase focuses on establishing a Sustainable City Strategic Plan for 7 secondary cities. The plan incorporates inclusive green growth concepts and will come with an investment

plan for the one of the priority sectors for a selected secondary city. In line with the Cambodia Country Planning Framework which identified sustainable energy as a second priority

area, GGGI will design a new project targeting the energy efficiency, a sector which is still in the early stages of development in Cambodia.25

Country Program:

GGGI focuses on green cities, sustainable energy, and water and sanitation, taking into account economic growth potential, poverty reduction and social inclusion, and environmental

sustainability. Based on Cambodia’s Nationally Determined Contribution, the National Policy on Green Growth, the Climate Change Strategic Plan, the National Environmental

Strategic Action Plan, and GGGI’s Cambodia Country Planning Framework, GGGI will focus on the following 2 areas for the WPB 2019-2020:

(i) Green Urban Development Phase 3: Building on our legacy in pioneering inclusive green city development, GGGI will continue to support national and subnational

governments to strengthen their capacity to develop, fund and implement green, inclusive urban projects. As GUDP Phase 1 and 2 focused on developing green and

sustainable cities strategies and identifying green investment projects, Phase 3 will focus on hands-on implementation of these strategies to tackle one of the major urban

challenges for Cambodia’s cities – wastewater and sanitation. The program will support the national government to develop a National Wastewater and Sanitation Program

and will support one priority city in implementing the program. GUDP Phase 3 will also focus on scaling-up green city investments by providing technical support to the

NCDD26 to develop a full funding proposal to mobilize green finance for local governments in low-carbon, resilient infrastructure, and capacity building. These interventions

target the improvement of sanitation and wastewater management services for a population of 600,000 across 7 secondary cities, thereby contributing to SDG 6, namely

universal access by 2025.27

(ii) Sustainable Energy: Based on a previous prefeasibility study and an integrated cost-benefit assessment on greening the industrial sector, GGGI will design a National

Energy Efficiency Promotion Program (NEEPP) to serve as a strategic platform providing resources and expertise on energy efficiency. The NEEPP will be guided by the

set of objectives and measures identified in the National Energy Efficiency Policy (NEEP), with an initial focus on industry, one of the three priority sectors. The NEEPP

will contribute to the national energy efficiency target of reducing energy demand by 25% in 2035 in the industrial sector relative to the business as usual scenario and to

the NDC’s GHG emissions reduction target of 727 Gg CO2eq (7%) by 2030 in the manufacturing industry. This proposed program targets policy implementation through

the development of an energy efficiency financing framework and two project proposals based on interventions identified in the NEEP.

25 The National Energy Efficiency Policy is currently under review by the Council of Ministers and it is expected that the policy will be adopted post-elections in 2018. 26 National Committee on Democratic Development (NCDD) has been nominated by RGC to become an GCF Accredited Entity, and accreditation process is ongoing. 27 An unofficial target developed for the urban subsector. Universal access targets have officially been adopted by 2025 for the rural sectors in the National Strategic Plan for Rural Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (RWSSH) 2014-2025. https://www.wsp.org/sites/wsp.org/files/publications/WSP-Cambodia-WSS-Turning-Finance-into-Service-for-the-Future.pdf

China

Country Strategy:

Since 2016, GGGI has worked with China to become a member and serve existing GGGI member countries by building strong international programs and partnerships with the

central government. Official milestones include China’s first MOU with GGGI with China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE)(2018), and formalized work on

international capacity building with China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) (2017). GGGI officially joined the MEE-UNEP led Green Belt and Road

Coalition (GBRC)(2018), opening formal environmental policy, technology resources and cooperation to all of GGGI’s developing member countries with China. Since 2016,

GGGI has been a member of MEE’s China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED).

In May 2018, GGGI Council Chairman Dr. Ban Ki-Moon met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Politbureau member and Senior Official Yang

Jiechi, receiving a supportive response from China’s top leadership to the proposal of China’s membership with GGGI. China’s membership to GGGI is expected to actualize

during 2019-2020.

China Program Impacts. GGGI China’s unique value proposition is twofold. First, GGGI China has existing partnerships across numerous developing countries in the region,

spanning across the same network of nations included in China’s Belt and Road Initiative. As a partner to China’s SSC and BRI goals, GGGI can serve as a valuable conduit to

strengthen green growth collaboration amongst these countries. Second, GGGI China’s value to its member/partner countries also stems from clean energy and environmental best-

practices, investments and technologies it can draw from China into member country climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. This has been implemented through GGGI

China’s knowledge sharing service, delivering impacts to 10+ GGGI member countries, and partner countries like China in 2016-2018 through policy advisory, knowledge sharing

and capacity building, and enabling green bankable projects in China and other GGGI countries.

• Enabling Bankable Green Projects

China is currently cooperating with private companies and city governments on the deployment pipeline of USD 580,000,000 in three water treatment projects in eastern

China. In 2017, GGGI China initiated the China for Others project with the goal of supporting bankable project deployment, and policy and technology investments from

China to GGGI member countries. Ongoing and planned projects exist with China, Denmark, Mongolia, Indonesia, Philippines, Jordan, Vietnam, and Cambodia. This

portfolio includes work on energy efficiency for buildings and appliances, district heating, peatland restoration, water treatment and management, hazardous waste

remediation and energy service companies (ESCOs).

• Policy Adoption

GGGI and the government of China (GoC) have co-developed 3 policy recommendations on SSC and ecological civilization, national green growth pathways, and

greening China’s overseas investments with MEE, CCICED and NDRC.

• Knowledge Sharing (KS) and Capacity Building Results

Since 2016, GGGI has co-organized 18 international KS events on green policies and technologies with China’s NDRC and MEE, with participating officials from 20

GGGI member countries. These events produced best-practice insights that reached Minister-level audiences regarding China’s global environmental policies. In

Mongolia, our KS activities also resulted in adoption of a tax exception policy for Ulanbator City on electric vehicles in 2017, based on Chinese best practices learned

during a Mongolian delegation visit to China in 2016. In 2017, GGGI China supported 5 NDRC climate training events seeing approximately USD $600,000 co-financing

from the Chinese government, with 100% of 65 environmental officials from 13 member countries (Cambodia, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines,

Uganda, Hungary, Morocco, Myanmar, UAE and Thailand) indicating applicable policy and technology knowledge gained.

• Consultations and another five KS events in 2017, of which the Environmental Ministry provided $100,000 in co-funding, 39 green policy and investment projects in GGGI

member countries were identified for work in 2018-2020.

Country Program:

GGGI China is a strategic program, focused on a phased knowledge sharing approach to Chinese interest in greening its BRI, and strengthening environmental policy and

technology benefits and green investments in GGGI’s member countries. GGGI’s unique value offering is its network of member and partner countries, and the on-the-ground

country teams embedded within their ministries. This context requires GGGI China’s consideration as a strategic program, with short and medium-term objectives that function to

leverage China’s vast momentum in making long-term, large-scale global impacts on green growth, and our strategy leverages China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to do this.

41

Since the retraction of the US from the Paris Agreement in 2017 China has inherited a role as the world’s climate policy leader, lending GGGI China a unique opportunity to

influence global energy conservation and environmental protection practices. In addition, in the May 2017 Belt and Road Forum, President Xi Jinping mandated China’s

international efforts in pursuit of a new vision of green development. As a result, GGGI China sees two major opportunities for engagement.

(i) Although China is a world leader in clean energy technology, it’s energy conservation and water management practices and industry still seek learning from developed

countries such as Denmark and the EU Commission Nations. This presents mutual opportunity for large-scale green technology deployment and European market access

to China’s vast environmental industry. In China’s water sector alone, environment and public-facilities management amounted to RMB6.86 trillion in 2016, an increase

of 23.3% year-on-year, according to statistics. Investment in the environmental sector is projected to exceed RMB15 trillion during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-

2020), with the focus of industrial development shifting from environmental pollution control to environmental quality improvement. Moreover, a large number of

environmental projects, such black river treatment and sponge city construction, will be developed through public-private partnerships (PPP), attracting trillions of yuan in

investment1, resulting in major opportunities for GGGI member country governments and companies.

(ii) China wields limited scope in its experience and capacity to develop green growth in developing countries and therein requires strong partnerships with international

organizations such as GGGI, that have implementation capacity and strong stakeholder networks within those countries.

The China country business plan 2019-2020 lists GGGI’s strategic objectives in China in a global context and two Projects to leverage GGGI’s unique value to China

Country Strategy

In the 2015-2016 GGGI supported the Ministry of Economy (MoE) to integrate the national Green Growth Framework (GGF) into the new National Development Plan (NDP) 2017-

2036. The NDP was endorsed by the Fijian Government in October 2017 and launched at COP23. Building on this work, GGGI provided technical assistance to Climate Change

Division of the Ministry of Economy to develop an NDC Implementation Roadmap focused on the electricity sector which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 30% by 2030

against a business-as-usual scenario.

GGGI is now supporting the Climate Change Division to develop an economy-wide Low Emissions Development Strategy (LEDS) aiming at zero-net emissions by 2050. In 2017,

GGGI also completed a Pre-feasibility Study for 100% renewable electricity for Ovalau and Taveuni Islands which would bring affordable, clean electricity to over 17,000 people

and KOICA provided Letter of Intent to finance 3.5m USD for the implementation of solar energy on Taveuni. In 2018, Full Feasibility Studies for over 5MW of solar and storage

are underway for Taveuni and Ovalau in partnership with MoE and the Electricity Fiji Limited (EFL). All work undertaken has included social and environmental safeguards analysis.

In 2017-2018 GGGI has also expanded its work in Fiji into the area of green cities, specifically sustainable land transport and solid waste management. In 2017 GGGI carried out a

study on low emissions fuel for buses and trucks in Fiji and GGGI is currently undertaking a study on solid waste management to identify potential priorities areas of intervention in

the Suva to Nausori area to benefit a population of over 300,000.

Fiji is also the base for GGGI’s activities in the broader Pacific region, with GGGI carrying out regional capacity building workshops in 2016 and 2017 on energy planning and green

infrastructure project design and financing respectively. A regional program for youth green entrepreneurship capacity building in underway in 2018 reaching out to over 400 young

people. In 2017 and 2018 GGGI has taken part in a number of national and regional policy dialogues centred around green growth, NDC implementation and financing of an inclusive

energy transition in the Pacific and SIDS. GGGI is a core partner of the Pacific Regional NDC Hub alongside GIZ, SPC and SPREP. This platform will enhance Pacific SIDS’ ability

to implement the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda through improved access to technical assistance and climate finance, mainstreaming of NDCs into national policies and processes

and facilitation of partnerships. GGGI has also developed a regional project proposal on Capacity Building for Renewable Energy and Green Growth for local government and

community leaders in Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu to a target audience of more than 300 community and traditional leaders and local government

officials. A regional energy efficiency project concept note for six Pacific island countries (Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, PNG, Kiribati and Tonga) has also been developed.

Alongside these activities GGGI’s aims to engage with the public and private sectors in the 14 Pacific SIDS through the promotion and facilitation of knowledge sharing, peer-to-

peer exchanges, innovation and entrepreneurship workshops, online tools, etc. in collaboration with tertiary educational institutions and other development partners in the region.

Country Program:

The Fijian Government has committed to integrating inclusive green growth into its development efforts first through the 2014 Green Growth Framework for Fiji and now the 2017

National Development Plan (NDP). Both documents, as well as Fiji’s NDC aim for close to 100% renewable energy by 2030, as well as improved energy efficiency across the

economy. GGGI supports Fiji with a focus on its energy and NDC commitments, as well as objectives to ensure access by all to basic services such as electricity, transport, water

and waste management with a focus on three areas:

(i) Implementation of Fiji’s NDC in the energy sector

(ii) Sustainable sea and land transport

(iii) Waste management for urban and peri-urban areas

At a regional level, GGGI supports the Pacific SIDS to implement their NDCs and the Framework for Resilient Development (FRDP) in the Pacific, which was endorsed by the

Pacific Island Leaders in 2016. Based on the FRDP and NDCs submitted by the 14 Pacific SIDS, GGGI’s regional focus is on two areas:

(i) Supporting implementation of the region’s NDCs

(ii) Supporting low carbon, inclusive and green development in the Pacific

45


GGGI’s counterpart Ministry in Fiji is the Ministry of Economy, which is the NDA for the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, the Ministry

of Housing and Local Government, the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Environment are also key partners. GGGI works closely with its partner

Ministries and donors to identify financing options for projects. GGGI also discusses opportunities for in-kind collaboration with development partners active in the same areas and

has co-hosted or participated in workshops with a number of partners over the last three years and will continue to seek such opportunities. At the regional level, GGGI regularly

participates in the Development Partners for Climate Change information meetings and seeks opportunities to collaborate at the regional level. A regional project proposal on Capacity

Building in renewable energy for rural energy access for local government and community leaders in Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu has been

submitted to KOICA in partnership with the Pacific Islands Development Forum (PIDF). GGGI has signed MoUs with a number of regional institutions in the Pacific and is discussing

joint mobilization of resources for the Regional Pacific NDC Hub with GIZ, SPC and SPREP and others.

India

Country Strategy:

GGGI, starting from year 2013 to 2017, worked closely with the state governments of Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh (HP) and Punjab to develop comprehensive green growth

strategies and sustainability toolkits for policymakers. Based on the proposal developed by GGGI, Himachal became the first successful state government in India to receive a

national grant for electric buses worth USD 5.5 million for 25 electric buses under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) program.

Similarly, in March 2017, Karnataka committed an investment of USD 30 million to introduce 150 electric buses in Bangalore city. GGGI also drew up a roadmap for micro

irrigation policy in Karnataka leading to a policy of mandatory micro irrigation component in government subsidy for water guzzling crops like sugarcane.

In April 2018, NITI Aayog, Government of India signed a ‘Statement of Intent’ with GGGI for collaboration on India’s SDG index and indicators. Presently, India holds a partner

status in GGGI with an evolving relationship towards membership. Looking at India’s growth trajectory, increasingly felt need for greener solutions amongst policymakers and its

demonstrated impacts, GGGI is strategically poised to make significant contributions in India’s SDG and NDC interventions.

Country Program:

Based on the India strategy, GGGI focuses on four areas:

1. Sustainable Energy and Green Cities: Catalysing Climate Finance: GGGI is supporting India in accessing innovative climate finance for ‘ensuring universal access to

affordable, reliable, and modern energy services’ (SDG-7) and improving energy efficiency in line with GGGI’s Strategic Objective (SO)1 focused on ‘Reduced GHG

Emissions’ and SO3 of ‘Increased Access to Sustainable Services’.

2. Sustainable Landscapes: Greening commodity value chains: GGGI is evaluating climate vulnerabilities, carbon and water footprint of select commodity value chains

such as Tea and integrating climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies into its management with relevant stakeholders. This complements GGGI’s SO1 of ‘Reduced

GHG Emissions’, SO5 of ‘Adequate Supply of Ecosystem Services Ensured’ and SO6 of ‘Enhanced Adaptation to Climate Change’.

3. Water: Bringing climate resilience around water: GGGI supports the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) under its employment guarantee programme, MGNREGA

for bringing climate resilience around water infrastructure investments in alignment with GGGI’s SO5 of Adequate supply of ecosystem services ensured and SO6 of

enhanced adaptation to climate change.

4. Cross sectoral: Partnership on Sustainable Development Goals: GGGI has partnered with National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog for developing

India’s SDG index and SDG dash board for impact monitoring. This knowledge sharing intervention is focused on intermediate outcome of strengthening of the country

SDG implementation.

India, being a Low Middle-Income Country, many donors have reduced their development aid to India. In a fast-emerging economy like India, with a vast array of national as well

as international development programmes running under multiple sectors and sub-sectors, resource mobilization in partnership with bilateral and multilateral organisations would

not only be effective for cost efficiency but also for better delivery of impacts at scale.

Countries such as Finland and Denmark, through their embassies in India, have also shown considerable interest in partnering with GGGI in sustainability projects such as electric

vehicles, biomass value chain and waste water recycling. These opportunities would be converted to bankable projects with the help of implementation partners. In-kind contributions

to the India program by Ministries of Government of India, state governments and other organizations such as International Solar Alliance would be explored for workshops, joint

studies and demonstration projects.

Indonesia

Country Strategy

Indonesia is a founding member of GGGI. Since 2013, the Government of Indonesia (GoI), under the leadership of the Ministry for National Development Planning (BAPPENAS)

has been working with GGGI to develop strategies and approaches for green growth. This has been possible through financial support from the Government of Norway in Phase I

(2013-2015) and in Phase II (2016-2019), which remains ongoing. The National Green Growth Roadmap has become a reference for green growth planning, investment and

performance monitoring.

GGGI’s impact in Indonesia is designed to support Indonesia in reaching its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

commitments. The main challenge is to enhance domestic and international investment, e.g. in clean energy, green infrastructure and forest and land-based mitigation. Indonesia’s

regulatory environment puts many constraints to the acceleration of green and inclusive private sector investment, while private investment needs to play a key role in developing

more green and inclusive bankable projects. A second key challenge is the limited capacity in public, private and financial sectors, hampering the uptake and mainstreaming of green

growth principles, concepts and methodologies.

Examples of key milestones of the Phase 2 program to date are:

• Green Growth has been mainstreamed in many planning and other strategic documents in East and Central Kalimantan, i.e. the Provincial General Energy Planning

documents (EK&CK), Medium Term Development Plan (CK), the Murung Raya development plan 2013-2018 (CK), the (EK) Buku Putih (‘White Book’) and the long

term provincial forestry plan (RKTP) (EK).

• Two (pre)feasibility studies for renewable energy were completed in West and East Nusa Tenggara, enabling both national and international finance.

- hybrid Solar PV solutions for East Nusa Tenggara, involving pre-FS of 8 small scale hybrid Solar PV solutions located at 5 different islands, totaling between 20MW

(without batteries) and 30 MW (with batteries). CAPEX: 23-36 Million USD; estimated annual emission reductions: 22,000 - 31,000 tCO2 e.g.; savings: 5-7 million

USD.

- An FS for a 10 MW solar PV plant in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ), involving a grid-connected Solar PV plant under a 25-year PPA with PLN, requiring

17 million USD project commercial investment. The results have been handed over to the Indonesian Tourism Development Council (ITDC).

• Development of a pipeline of Sustainable Landscape business models for peatland and forest restoration, including: Sustainable natural forest management/restoration,

Gelam production in rewetted peatlands, Palm oil based on certified sustainable smallholder supply chains, Smallholder timber plantations & wood processing.

• Under a collaborative agreement with the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) green growth training curricula are developed for capacity enhancement of

Indonesia’s Corps of Civil Servants (KORPRI) of Echelons 1 to 4, and through mainstreaming of green growth in the Leadership Trainings and Reform Leader Academy

(RLA).

Country Program

Indonesia’s green growth vision is framed by international commitments and national priorities, including Indonesia’s nine-point priority agenda as outlined in the national medium-

term development plan (RPJMN) 20152019. Indonesia aims to become a high-income country, with a targeted annual economic growth rate of 6-8%, and a decline in the poverty

rate to 7-8%. Moreover, Indonesia is committed to ensuring the sustainability of natural resources, the environment and human capital. GoI and GGGI have agreed a Country

Planning Framework 2016-2020 (http://gggi.org/report/indonesia-country-planning-framework-2016-2020) to achieve healthy and productive ecosystems, sustained economic

growth, GHG emission reductions, inclusive and equitable growth, and social, economic and environmental resilience. Two inter-linked outcomes are defined to tackle the challenges

as follows: 1. Capable institutions scale up green growth, and 2. Increased inclusive green investment in priority sectors leads to reduced emissions and healthier, more productive

ecosystems. GGGI and the GoI jointly agreed to endeavor towards the following four commitments by the end of 2020:

(ii) To achieve transformational change, GGGI will support GoI in building institutions capable of scaling up green growth, through informed decision-makers with the

understanding and capacity to apply green growth tools and approaches, with as ultimate planned targets to a) train at least 30,000 civil servants on green growth; and b)

Demonstrate that at least 70% of the participants exposed to green growth tools, knowledge products and South-South initiatives have experienced improvement in green

growth-related learning.

(iii) Mobilize over USD 110 million of investment, leveraged through demonstrations of commercially viable business models, benefiting at least 1 million people

54

(iv) Develop 60-100 MW of clean energy and improved sustainable infrastructure in selected SEZs, contributing up to 1 million tons of CO2 emission reductions per year

(v) Reduce or avoid 400 million tons of CO2 emissions in forested landscapes (non-peat) and 200 million tons of CO2 emissions on peat landscapes across 1 million hectares.


Indonesia, as founding member of GGGI, signed the GGGI Establishment Agreement in September 2012, and ratified it in September 2014. BAPPENAS acts as GGGI’s host agency

in the country. The GoI-GGGI Green Growth Program (GGP) is aligned with Indonesia’s strategic action plans for climate change and the Green Planning and Budgeting Strategy

for Indonesia’s Sustainable Development. GGGI’s key Government Partners (shown in the organogram in Annex A) include the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM),

Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), National Council for Special Economic Zones of the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs (CMEA), Ministry of Finance

(MoF), National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) and the Regional Planning Agencies (BAPPEDA) in CK and EK, besides BAPPENAS.

The GGP is financed under a grant agreement of Norway, with a total funding commitment of NOK 178 million (~ $19.4 million USD). The GGP is designed to align with both the

INDC targets (the NDC was only ratified in November 2016) and the SDGs, to accelerate domestic and international investment to enable Indonesia to reach these goals. GGP

funding for post 2019 has not yet been secured and will be pursued under guidance of the National Green Growth Steering Committee (chaired by BAPPENAS), bringing together

public institutions and development partners, private sector and civil society organizations working on the implementation of the national Green Growth Plan.

GGGI ‘s resource mobilization strategy for Indonesia aims at increasing national and international green investments to the focal sectors, through design of bankable projects and

finance mechanisms. For the coming years, GGGI’s staff time and costs of consultants, travel and facilities are covered by the Norwegian funding. The current Grant Agreement

may be extended to cover also 2020 under a no-cost extension i.r.t. the projected increased value of the NOK grant against the US$ and Rupiah. In view of the likely interest of GoI

for a continued collaboration post 2019/2020, GGGI aims to pursue the joint development of GGP Phase 3 for the period 2020-2024, for which additional resources need to be

mobilized. A variety of financing options and developments are being considered:

(i) In view of the increased value of the NOK against the dollar, a budget neutral extension of the grant period will be discussed with Norway, covering 2020. This is

expected to contribute at least 2 million US$ to our budget in 2020, with a focus on additional deliverables, upscaling Phase II successes, and geographic expansion,

especially Papua and NK.

(ii) Countries with an active donor program in Indonesia (USA, Japan, Korea, UK, Norway, Australia, Canada and Germany) will be approached for program funding for the

period 2020-2024. The number of donor countries is expected to decrease in view of Indonesia’s status as Middle-income Developing Country. Donor mapping is in

progress.

(iii) GGGI Core funding: As a member, Indonesia has paid 15 million US$ membership dues over the period 2015-2017. Only a limited amount of this funding has been

utilized in the Indonesia program. There are expectations that GGGI will allocate some of its core funding to Indonesia in support of key growth areas, and to cover some

of the core support functions. Starting in 2019, a contribution of 0.2 million US$ is suggested, with a potential increase to 1 million US$ per annum in the following years.

(iv) The possibility to obtain earmarked funding from GoI to GGGI is unlikely, however substantial co-financing for projects designed under the GoI-GGGI GGP is very well

possible and will be investigated through targeted meetings and as part of design of special GG financing vehicles. Options for renewed GoI Core Funding to GGGI in

the form of membership fees can be revisited in 2020, after review by GoI of the GGP results;

(v) GoI provides in-kind contributions to the GGP, in the form of office space and facilities. Many of GGGI-Indonesia’s staff is embedded in government agencies (i.e.

BAPPENAS, LAN, BAPPEDAs in CK and EK, MoEF, MoF, PT SMI). This constitutes an in-kind contribution of US$ 162,207 (US$ 40.5 K/yr);

(vi) GGGI will develop proposals for key project in support of GoI’s green development agenda, building on the achievements of GGP Phases 1 and 2, but also covering

additional work areas, such as Green Cities and Water. Focus will be on the current focal provinces in CK and EK, with an envisaged expansion to South Kalimantan,

North Kalimantan and especially Papua provinces. The expansion to NK and Papua (s) is strategic as these have the highest needs for poverty reduction, electrification

and sustainable management of remaining natural forest resources, considered crucial for the achievement of the NDC and SDGs;

(vii) In May 2018, GGGI Readiness and Preparatory Support Program (RPSP) was approved by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) with a budget of 850,000 USD. The RPSP

will provide additional funding resources for staffing, consultants and other direct and indirect costs in 2018;

(viii) In order to develop a sustainable source of funding for supporting (design, pre-FS, FS, brokering investment) and de-risking public and private sector green growth

endeavors in Indonesia, the establishment of an Indonesia Green Growth Fund (GGF) is suggested, to be governed by the GoI-GGGI partnership, supervised by the GGP

Steering Committee and administrated/managed by GGGI-Indonesia. The fund would be open to donations from donors, climate and sustainable development funds and

55

private sector (e.g. CSR funding). Legal advice will be required regarding the structure and procedures of such a fund in relation to the need to avoid conflicts of interest.


Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Indonesia for 2018-2019: $0.2 million; Government counterpart funding: $0.0 million and $0.076 million in-kind. Donor

co-financing of the program is expected at $7.9 million in the biennium from Norway; Donor co-financing of the program is expected at $0.85 million in the biennium from the

GCF; The Indonesia program request $1 million core-funding from GGGI for the period 2020; Around $180,000 USD is reserved in both 2019 and 2020 for services provided by

HQ Thematic teams; A funding gap is identified, to be addressed with additional resource mobilization of $4.5 million for 2020 (see tables 1 and 2).

Kiribati

Country Strategy:

The Republic of Kiribati committed to the concept of green growth as one of the founding member countries of GGGI in 2012. Like many of the Small Island Developing States,

Kiribati is highly vulnerable to climate change and affected by impacts including rising sea levels, increasingly frequent and severe storms, permanent erosion of the shoreline,

frequent seawater inundation on fresh water resources, and reduced food security. The country also faces structural economic challenges given its remoteness, small market size and

limited access to financing and technology transfer. To address these challenges, the Government of Kiribati (GoK) developed the Kiribati 20-Year Vision 2016-2036 (KV20) and

the Kiribati Joint Implementation Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP) including a Whole-of-Island Approach (WOIA) for outer islands. The approach

aims to improve climate-resilient capacities of island communities and to address challenges in terms of the lack of basic infrastructure, services and employment opportunities. In

line with these policies and priorities GGGI supports Kiribati with a focus on climate resilient, inclusive economic growth, creating diversified and secure livelihoods through green

micro-businesses and small-scale green infrastructure.

In 2017 GGGI strengthened its engagement with Kiribati by recruiting a Project Officer and in 2018 this officer was embedded within GGGI’s countpart Ministry in Kiribati, the

Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agricultural Development (MELAD). The Host Country Agreement was signed in June 2018 alongside the official launch of GGGI’s presence

in Kiribati further strengthening the mutual commitment of GGGI and GoK to green growth. The GoK has committed to providing office space for GGGI and agreement has been

reached to work in the areas of inclusive community action planning for green income generating activities and small-scale infrastructure for outer-islands, as well as capacity

building for green growth across the economy and with different beneficiary stakeholders. These target areas are aligned with the KV20 strategy for poverty alleviation, the WOIA,

the KJIP Strategy 3: “Strengthening and greening the private sector including small business” and with the objectives of the Kiribati Integrated Energy Roadmap (KIER) to promote

sustainable energy, reduce dependence on fossil fuels and increase energy security.

GGGI and the GoK have begun work toward identifying and designing opportunities for green income generating activities for implementation on at least two islands targeting a

population of 10,000 with the work supporting the Whole-of-Island-Approach (WOIA). GGGI will provide support as the WOIA expands to more islands with potential to benefit a

population of over 50,000 or around half the population of Kiribati. GGGI has engaged with the Kiribati National Experts Group (KNEG) and has joined the group of development

partners supporting the WOIA to facilitate communication, cooperation and collaboration where possible across different development partner initiatives. In September 2017, GGGI

was one of the partners that provided technical assistance for the evaluation of the WOIA implementation on the island of Abaiang and contributed to the preparation of the evaluation

report including a gender analysis of results to date. GGGI has identified potential to work in Abaiang, while two other islands where the WOIA has begun are Tabiteuea North and

Kiritimati, where GGGI can assess further opportunities to provide support for green growth.

GGGI has also responded to training needs and in June 2017 Government delegates from MELAD, Ministry of Finance and Economic Development and Ministry of Infrastructure

and Sustainable Energy participated in a “Green Infrastructure Project Development and Financing” Capacity Building Workshop in Suva, Fiji. This workshop focused on the design

and development of green infrastructure projects, including social and environmental safeguards. Further capacity building for these key ministries within GGGI’s thematic areas of

work is planned in 2018, as well as training for communities and youth on green entrepreneurship. In 2018, GGGI also provided technical assistance for the development of three

concept notes for the agriculture sector, targeting potential funding of 200,000 USD and participated in a national climate change and disaster risk finance assessment.

Country Program:

GGGI supports Kiribati with a focus on climate resilient, inclusive economic growth, creating diversified and secure livelihoods through green micro-businesses and small-scale

green infrastructure based on the Kiribati 20-Year Vision (KV20). GGGI also supports Kiribati’s strategy to strengthen and green the private sector, including women-lead businesses,

as outlined in the Kiribati Joint Implementation Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (KJIP) and provides support to the Government’s WOIA and KIER. GGGI

focuses on 3 areas:

(i) Green jobs for all through the identification, design and implementation of small-scale income generation activities in the outer islands.

(ii) Building climate resilient small-scale infrastructure to facilitate green jobs and income-generating activities

(iii) Capacity building, training and peer-to-peer learning focused on green growth and resilient islands

58


GGGI works in close partnership with MELAD as the counterpart Ministry of GGGI in Kiribati and in relation to green income-generating activities in agriculature and work in

waste management. Other Ministries and offices identified as key partners include the Office of the President (OB) through its Climate Change Office as the Coordinating Minsitry

for the WOIA and the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development which coordinates Climate Finance. GGGI is exploring partnerships with development partners active in

Kiribati, who are also working on income generation, waste management, green infrastructure and capacity building and youth entrepreneurship. These include United Nations

Development Program (UNDP), the Pacific Community (SPC), the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and

the Embassy of Japan in Suva, Fiji. GGGI is also in regular contact to discuss projects with major donors to Kiribati, including Australia and New Zealand. In addition, GGGI works

with development partners to coordinate work and to facilitate in-kind contributions from partners for joint activities and workshops.

Lao PDR

Country Strategy:

GGGI opened its Lao PDR Office in January 2017. As of October 2017, Lao PDR is a member of GGGI, and the Host Country Agreement is signed. The GGGI Office is hosted by

the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), and we primarily work with MPI, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport (MPWT) and the Ministry of Natural Resource and

Environment (MONRE). The Green Growth Potential Assessment, along with gender analysis, was completed as part of GGGI’s support for the development of Lao PDR’s National

Green Growth Strategy (NGGS) and the recommendations from the two studies are incorporated in the NGGS. GGGI supports MPI to engage a policy dialogue for strengthening

gender responsible and inclusive green growth. GGGI has developed a strategic relationship with the Lao PDR’s National Designated Authority (NDA) for GCF, Department of

Climate Change under MONRE, by supporting the development of the national Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) framework, updating Nationally Determined

Contributions (NDC), and providing GCF readiness support to develop investment plans for implementation of the Urban Development priority of the NDC. GGGI has also developed

forthcoming investments in solid waste management and wastewater management and sanitation under the umbrella of green cities development in Lao PDR. GGGI plans to link its

project on promotion of electric vehicles with carbon reduction credits of the Korean Emissions Trading Scheme. With the reduction credits making the project more bankable, it

has a potential to scale-up becoming a regional initiative. Aside from these projects focused on green growth planning and green cities development, there also exist opportunities

in sustainable landscapes, such as nature-based tourism, that GGGI may engage in in the future.

Country Program:

GGGI supports Lao PDR with a focus on mainstreaming green growth, green cities development, climate resilience, and poverty reduction. Based on the 8th NSEDP, NDC, and

NGGS, GGGI focuses on the following areas:

(i) National and Sub-national planning, financing and budgeting for inclusive Green Growth: GGGI supports the Lao PDR Government to mainstream green growth and

climate change into policies and plans in order to create an enabling policy environment for investments and bankable projects contributing to reduced GHG emissions,

increased climate resilience and the creation of green jobs (especially for informal workers the majority of whom are women).

(ii) Green Cities Development in Lao PDR: GGGI supports the Lao Government by developing investment-ready action plans and projects for inclusive and sustainable

urban development contributing to increased access to sustainable urban services that are inclusive and gender-sensitive for 1 million people

62


GGGI and the World Bank have been the primary supporters of the development of Lao PDR’s NGGS, and there is an inter-ministerial committee responsible for green growth. The

national development strategy (NSEDP), SDGs, NDC, and NGGS are all consistent with one another, so there is a range of platforms and potential partnerships. In particular, GGGI

and KOICA have partnered to support sustainable solid waste management and wastewater management and sanitation. Also, KOICA, along with Korea Environmental Industry

and Technology Institute (KEITI), is in consideration of supporting GGGI’s GCF readiness program by adding its funds to the program. In 2017, the GGGI Lao Office had made

tremendous efforts to mobilize resources targeting both bilateral and multilateral donors, and much of the efforts will come to fruition in 2018. For example, GCF readiness proposal

in the amount of 0.46 million was approved in Feb 2018. The proposal in the amount of USD 6.5 million is pending approval from KOICA. The concept note in the amount of USD

1 million is being reviewed by the Luxembourg Ministry of Finance. In total, the Lao Office expects to mobilize USD 6 million in 2018.

Mongolia

Country Strategy

In accordance with GGGI’s Mongolia Country Planning Framework (CPF) 2015-2020, the Mongolia CBP 2019-2020 builds on (i) GGGI’s past support to the development of

national and sub-national action plans for the Mongolia’s National Green Development Policy (NGDP) and the preparation of bankable projects in the areas of green education

buildings, solid waste to energy and alternative heating systems for the period of 2015-16 and (ii) its next phase, which was focused on mainstreaming green growth into sectorial

and subnational levels plans in GGGI’s Green Cities and Sustainable Energy thematic areas (iii) GGGI’s support to the Government of Mongolia (GoM) in the financing of its green

growth and climate commitments for the period of 2017-18. GGGI, with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism’s guidance, works to facilitate the implemention of the NGDP

and the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), providing policy advice and project support to line ministries, agencies and sub-national governements (Ministry of

Construction and Urban Development, Ulaanbaatar City municipality, Ministry of Energy, Energy Regulatory Commission). During the 2017-18 biennium, policy support, such as

the adoption of the National Energy Efficiency Action Program, Standards and Labelling regulation for electrical appliances, and revision of Law on Urban Development at the

sectorial level; as well as Ulaanbaatar City’s contribution to Mongolia’s NDC and its associated investment plan at the subnational level; have fueled the identification of a pipeline

of bankable projects. GGGI is involved in the preparation of three projects and associated green finance mobilisation efforts. The soft launch and capitalization plan of the Mongolian

Green Finance Corporation, a National Financing Vehicle, opens up an affordable, inclusive, gender-sensitive financing channel for green and innovative technological solutions

and projects; and demonstrates GGGI’s capability to contribute to Mongolia’s efforts in financing its inclusive green growth and climate agendas, and to its ambition to achieve

immediate impact in the areas of GHG emissions and urban air pollution reduction. Taken together, these initiatives, when operational, are expected to help deliver a cut of at least

3,937,052 tCo2eq, over the next 15 years, and improve living conditions of Ulaanbaatar’s 1,462,973 residents (NSO, 2017), particularly the 218,000 households living in the City’s

peri-urban areas.

Country Program

GGGI supports Mongolia in its commitment to transition to an inclusive and greener development pathway through GGGI’s Energy, Green Cities, and Water thematic areas, all of

which are identified as priority areas in the NGDP and Mongolia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. Mongolia is committed to take actions to

increase its renewable energy (RE) generation and energy efficiency (EE), to improve urban planning and urban air quality, and to ensure access to sustainable public services to its

population. GGGI’s Mongolia CPF 2015-2020 therefore articulates three focal problems:

Sustainable Energy: Cleaner energy and improved energy inefficiency - GGGI and the GoM work to improve EE and access to cleaner energy against air pollution, by strengthening

the related policy environment, helping raise finance for EE projects and helping demonstrate the technical and financial viability of clean technologies. These efforts will facilitate

the transition from fossil fuel based energy to green energy, and help reap the benefits of improved EE to deliver a cut in GHG emissions and urban air pollution; create green jobs

and reduce poverty.

Green Cities: Improved urban development planning and green infrastructure development - GGGI provides advices to national and subnational governments to improve urban

development planning and accelerate urban infrastructure development that is green, pro-poor, inclusive and gender-sensitive and delivers increased access to sustainable, affordable

and inclusive urban services.

Water and Sanitation: Improved water supply-demand alignment and reduced climate vulnerability - GGGI provides policy advice and project development services to the GoM

to improve water supply-demand alignment and equal access to safe drinking water and sanitation while fostering enhanced adaptation to climate change.

While green and inclusive policy objectives are well in place, the implementation and financing of commitments remain constrained by weak institutional capacity and coordination,

a lack of clarity and certainty on operational rules and regulations, and limited fiscal resources. Mongolia’s cyclical fiscal policy and poor fiscal discipline has brought the country

to request an Extended Fund Facility from the International Monetary Fund for 2017-2020. The GoM therefore seeks to improve public investment planning, crowd-in finance and

strengthen capacity to implement its ambitious green development agenda. GGGI Mongolia’s 2019-2020 Country Business Plan will consolidate its past achievements, to build-up

its support to the GoM for the implementation of gender sensitive inclusive green growth policies, in areas of Sustainable energy and Green cities; and will seek to leverage earmarked

funding for Water and Sanitation and its global program on MRV. Focus will be put on filling policy, capacity and financial gaps, targeting four policy/regulatory advices to be

approved by the GoM; advancing pilot projects to scale and bankability targeting $20 million in green finance mobilized for at least 5 investment projects in the areas of sustainable

energy, green cities and water and sanitation; and mobilizing resources for new project opportunities, targeting $1,25MUSD in earmarked funding raised at the benefit of the program.

Taken together, GGGI’s services will help Mongolia reduce its GHG emissions and achieve its INDC targets, enhance Mongolian people’s access to sustainable energy, waste

management, water and sanitation services, and will foster resilience and enhanced adaptation to climate change of vulnerable communities.


Building on GGGI’s partnerships and resource mobilization strategy, GGGI Mongolia’s resource mobilization efforts will be put into (i) developing a coherent programming of

http://gggi.org/report/mongolia-country-planning-framework-2016-2020/

66

projects across thematic areas by demonstrating a clearly articulated logic towards scale and impact; that is attractive for earmarked donors (ii) systematically seeking to leverage

global and local partnerships, based on shared interests and vision, (iii) building close ties with priority donors in-country, with KOICA and the GCF as short term priorities (iv)

leveraging the support of its government partners in promoting GGGI’s value-add and (v) a proactive monitoring of local, regional and global Call for Proposals and Tenders aligned

with GGGI’s Mongolia CPF, with ADB, NAMA Facility and EU-SWITCH Asia calls as short term focuses (2019). Mongolia being a Lower-middle income country, these efforts

are likely to deliver results starting from Q2-3 2019 and after, and a gap in available funding for the program might persist.

Building on its engagement with the Mongolian private sector, specifically the financial sector, GGGI will support innovative partnerships in areas such as, but not limited to, green

finance development and green bonds, building and industrial EE, renewable energy as well as knowledge sharing and capacity building. Synergies with other country programs

with an interest in Mongolia (e.g. China’s Greening the BRI for potential private sector investment mobilization and knowledge sharing) will be sought in order to leverage additional

resources.

Myanmar

Country Strategy

Since signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC) in February 2017, GGGI has engaged with a

wide range of government agencies and development partners in its assessment of strategic areas for GGGI to support Myanmar’s achievement of NDC, Green Economy Policy

Framework, Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan, and the National Parliament’s “Green Land Cities” initiative objectives. Key strategic outputs to date are the Myanmar Green

Growth Potential Assessment Report54 and a Policymaker’s guide for NDC Implementation55. GGGI is working closely with the Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) to

develop institutional capacities for Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) of Climate Change Action. GGGI completed an assessment of MRV status in Myanmar56, and

initiated sensitization and capacity building activities for stakeholders from 38 agencies, across 16 ministries. During 2017, GGGI provided inputs into the drafting of several national

policy documents and facilitated capacity building activities for over 150 government staff in areas relevant to socially-inclusive green economy and climate change policy

implementation. Through its close engagement with government, its participation in key national policy formulation and coordination bodies (i.e. Green Economy Coordination

Committee, and Environmental Sector Working Group), and assessments of key green growth investment opportunities, GGGI has identified several strategic areas for GGGI to

target it’s support in national and sub-national institutional capacity building and green investment value chain development during 2019-2020. GGGI will continue its technical

support for capacity-building in sector-sepecific MRV reporting systems, and will identify strategic partnerships to support operationalization of a national MRV Masterplan in 2019-

2020. During this period GGGI also aims to mobilize $20m for institutional capacity building in Myanmar’s national and sub-national government agencies to mainstream socially-

inclusive business models for implementation of sub-national Green Economy Policy Framework and Climate Change Strategy Action Plans, and to mobilize private sector

investment to support Myanmar’s realization of NDC targets associated with Green Cities Investment and Landscape Restoration. During 2018, GGGI will formalize a 5-year

Country Planning Framework (CPF), and facilitate Myanmar’s accession process as a GGGI treaty member.

Country Program

GGGI supports Myanmar’s INDC targets in forestry and energy sectors and promotion of socially inclusive green growth development approaches across the range of sectors that

will be included in Myanmar’s NDC. These priorities are already clearly identified in Myanmar’s Climate Change Policy, Strategy and Action Plan, the Green Economy Policy

Framework and the Parliamentary mandate for Green Land Cities promotion. GGGI will focus is support in 3 key areas (contingent on resource commitments):

(i) MRV: GGGI supports institutional development and capacity building for Myanmar’s MRV Masterplan to enable Myanmar to meet UNFCCC reporting obligations,

improve strategic planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation investments (SO1), and to assess NDC implementation impacts on gender equality, poverty

reduction and social inclusion.

(ii) Sustainable Landscapes: GGGI fosters socially inclusive coastal landscape restoration approaches (SO 5) by promoting alternative natural capital-based business models

(forest, agriculture, aquaculture) that create employment (SO 2) and improve climate change adaptation for marginalized populations (SO 6), by targeting urban and rural

economic drivers of deforestation and landscape degradation (ex. access to alternative fuels or electricity (SO 3.1), by increasing access to environmentally appropriate

watershed ecosystem service utilization (SO 5), and by addressing policy barriers encouraging unsustainable short-term exploitation/expropriation of mangroves.

(iii) Green Cities: GGGI supports development of innovative Green Cities policies, investments and technologies for the promotion of socially inclusive, liveable cities that

provide: green jobs (SO 2), access to improved sanitation (SO 3.2), waste management (SO 3.3) public transportation (3.4), affordable renewable energy and resource

efficiency (SO 3.1), and all-around low-carbon (SO 1) urban development pathways for Myanmar’s secondary cities; and that support Sustainable Landscape and Watershed

Ecosystem Service functions through promotion of circular economy approaches (SO 5).


Many development partners commenced their current support for Myanmar around the time of the democratic transition (2014), and expect a transition during 2019-2020 to reflect

the current priorities and challenges faced by the country. Internal armed conflicts fueled by elicit timber, jade and gem exports, international human rights concerns, ongoing policy

realignments and ministry reorganizations, and limited public and private sectors human capacities present significant challenges to the country and undermine predictions of future

resource mobilization opportunities. While GGGI has identified several strategic areas for its immediate engagement, the strategy will need to remain flexible during this biennium

as the policy environment matures, at least until after the next national elections (2020).

• MRV: Partly in support of its MRV capacity-building, GGGI brokered DFAT placement of three AVID volunteers within ECD, and is exploring funding opportunities (with

BMUB and GEF CBIT) to support operationalization of an MRV masterplan in 2019-2020. Further synergies being explored, including the EU-funded Myanmar Climate

Change Alliance (MCCA).

• Sustainable Landscapes: GGGI is identifying resource mobilization synergies for its support for coastal landscape restoration investment. Foremost among these are Norway,

Netherlands, and the LIFT multi-donor trust fund, though Denmark, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, Finland, DFID all support various coastal agricultural, forestry, fishery

and aquaculture value-chain development, landscape/watershed restoration or mangrove/fisheries governance in Myanmar.

• Green Cities: GGGI is supporting Myanmar’s Nationally Designated Authority (NDA) to mobilize GCF Readiness support for green cities investment planning, and for

nomination of a GCF national Direct Access Entity (DAE). While GGGI’s emphasis will be on secondary cities, this work will offer strong synergies with ongoing sustainable

cities-relevant TA support by UNHabitat, UNEP, ADB, Australia, UK, France, Netherlands, and Rockefeller Foundation.

Despite political uncertainties, we note strong international investor interest to sustainable landscape, energy and infrastructure development and Myanmar’s geopolitical position

ensuring continued investment interest by regional governments. Myanmar’s GGGI team initiated its first green investment services project to explore innovative business models

for landscape restoration incorporating strict standards of environmental and social safeguards in 2017, and this project is expected to expand to cover a range of terrestrial and

aquatic resource value chains. GGGI expects to initiate a similar investment services project aimed at supporting green cities sector (and sanitation) investments. Both Green Cities

and Sustainable Landscape programs will be well-positioned to deliver investment projects for GCF SAP funding in 2019-2020, and to access possible follow-on GCF Readiness

funding for i.a. DAE strengthening. Efforts are also underway to explore opportunities for leveraging sizeable Korean, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch financial investments in

Myanmar.

Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Myanmar for 2019-2020: $0.36 million; Government counterpart funding: $0.0 million, In-kind: $0.06 million; and Donor

co-financing of the program is expected at $20 million in the biennium.

Nepal

Country Strategy

GGGI Nepal’s Country Planning Framework (CPF) 2017-2021 provides two strategic focus areas for county operations a) localized urban green growth and b) sustainable mobility

for connected and healthy cities. These focus areas were destilled from GGGI’s Green Growth Potential Assessment, undertaken in 2016; the guidance and strategic priorities of

GGGI Nepal’s host, the Ministry of Forests and Environment (MOFE); and the targets and priorites of Nepal’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The CPF gave rise to

two programs during the 2017-18 biennium. The first program, undertaken in partnership with the Ministry of Federal and General Administration, as well as seven newly established

municipal governments, delivered pro-poor, gender inclusive green growth project identification and ideation at the local level. This contributed to Nepal’s process of federalization,

and the realization of NDC local growth targets. The second program, undertaken in partnership with the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, provided direct policy

support to the federal government in the implementation of electric mobility, energy diversification and air quality improvement targets included in the NDC by delivering a sectoral

NDC implementation plan. In addition, the program delivered a pipeline of bankable electric mobility projects, including a national financing vehicle, in partnership with private

sector, and undertook feasibility and project development for Nepal’s largest public bus cooperative Sajha Yatayat for the deployment of three electric buses in Kathmandu, Nepal’s

capital. For the 2019-20 biennium, GGGI Nepal will extend, deepen and diversify its incountry operations within the two focus areas of the CPF. This will allow GGGI Nepal to

contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 45.6 MtCO2e, the provision of sustainable transport to an additional 7.4 million citizens, the provision of sustainable

sanitation and energy services, and a significant improvement in urban air quality through to 2030. Nepal is not yet a member of GGGI. During 2018, GGGI Nepal is working closely

with MOFE to obtain membership. For this, MOFE will submit membership to the Council of Ministers of Nepal, the federal executive cabinet. The Council will decide whether to

approve membership, or in turn submit the deliberation to the Federal Parliament of Nepal. It is expected that this process will be completed by Q4 2018.

Country Program

Based on the Country Planning Framework 2017-21, GGGI Nepal will focus on the following areas over the 2019-20 biennium:

1. Green Cities: Strengthening localized urban green growth. GGGI is working with governments and the private sector to improve planning and financing and innovate

within urban service markets for better access to bankable pro-poor, gender-sensitive services, including in energy and sanitation, reduced GHG emissions and increased

green and inclusive jobs.

2. Green Cities: Creating connected and healthy cities through sustainable mobility. GGGI is partnering with federal and municipal governments, transport operators and

private sector to demonstrate viability, improve bankability and boost investment in inclusive electric mobility for reduced GHG emissions, better air quality and gender-

sensitive access.

74


To design, finance and deliver programs under the two focus areas, GGGI Nepal will engage with government, donors and delivery partners.

61 The Government of Nepal provides the GGGI Nepal CO with office space. This is expected to continue over 2019-20. In addition, the Government of Nepal pays for the utilities of the Country Office (water supply and electricity). All other operational

costs to maintain office are borne by GGGI. 62 Core operational presence of current country team (i.e. 1 x Program Lead (acting CR); 1 x Senior Program Officer; 1 x Associate) is exptected to cost around USD 0.4 million for the biennium. This exceeds core allocation by some USD 43,000

(excluding membership bonus). As such, core funding is insufficient to cover the cost of maintaining country team presence. 63 This figure includes both resources mobilized via internal GGGI PCM process and external sources 64 Core funding of USD 0.35 million is split across Electric Mobility II, Air Quality Management and Improved Readiness. This is expected to allow a minimum CO team to deliver programs. 65 This assumes that Nepal’s GCF NDA approves collaboration with GGGI to approach GCF Readiness and Support. 66 Building from a baseline funding of USD 1.3 million over 2017-2018, the projected total funding of USD 4.30 million constitutes a significant increase (3.3-fold increase) and will necessitate an increase in the CO team size for successful and quality

program delivery.

Philippines

Country Strategy:

GGGI supports the Philippines with climate resilience and inclusive green growth in partnership and collaboration with the Climate Change Commission (CCC), National Economic

and Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and the Provincial Governments of Palawan, Oriental Mindoro, Bataan, and Dinagat Islands. The

GGGI Country Strategy and Country Planning Framework (CPF) for 2016-2020 is aligned with key Government plans and targets such as the Philippine Development Plan (PDP)

2010-2016 and 2017-2022, and the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2011-2028.

In 2017, GGGI made significant achievements by strengthening the green growth policy, planning, project identification, financing, and relevant institutional frameworks which laid

the groundwork for a transition to the implementation of bankable and green growth investments in 2019-2020. Strategically influencing the decision-makers at the local level, the

Provincial Governments of Palawan and Oriental Mindoro adopted the Provincial Climate Resilient Green Growth (CRGG) Strategies that prioritizes supporting policies, plans, and

projects thereby widening the opportunity for downstream collaboration with GGGI in developing and implementing bankable projects within these strategies. GGGI has also

engaged the private sector, through the DTI, in introducing “green business practices” to Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which account for 99% of all registered

enterprises and provide 60% of total employment. At the national level, GGGI supported NEDA as the lead socio-economic planning agency in the pilot-testing of the Green Growth

Planning Toolkit through knowledge sharing and capacity building initiatives in the provinces of Bataan and Dinagat Islands and DTI-Bureau of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises

Development (DTI-BSMED). This preliminary intervention has set the stage for the identification of a pipeline of bankable projects such as in renewable energy and ecotourism in

response to the partners’ aspirations of greening their respective development plans GGGI has also provided support to operationalize the People’s Survival Fund (PSF) to ensure

that climate adaptation projects identified by local government units (LGUs) would be financed, such as it assisted roughly 200 LGUs and produced 124 draft project concept notes

which can be scaled up to bankable projects and utilizing other climate financing such as Adaption Fund and Green Climate Fund (GCF), among others.

With the strong institutional relationships forged and continuously strengthened at various levels of governance – national, regional and local, GGGI has identified critical

opportunities across the country which may well be addressed by the Country Program in 2019-2020: (1) Solar energy technology can be transformational in remote rural areas and

island barangays such as in Palawan, Oriental Mindoro, Dinagat Islands and other areas in Mindanao where the energy source are mainly diesel generated, has exorbitantly high

rates (in Palawan, and Oriental Mindoro), highly subsidized (as in Dinagat), and yet undersupplied; it also has tremendous potential to displace coal in the power mix (as in the

case of Bataan and Mindanao); (2) Electric mobility can reduce air-borne pollution coming from conventional fuel-based transportation in cities and municipalities and contribute

to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets of the country; (3) Replication of the Ecotown and CRGG approaches, which have gained interest from other LGUs,

such as the Provinces of Aklan, Romblon, Marinduque, and Occidental Mindoro, and sharing the same with other relevant GGGI country programs; and (4) Waste to energy

mechanisms and waste management can be introduced to MSMEs and LGUs to achieve the necessary scale.

Country Program:

The Country Program for 2019-2020 builds on the gains of previous GGGI initiatives and its reputation as a trusted development partner in the area of climate change and inclusive

green growth. GGGI will continue to rely on existing and emerging in-country partnerships while mobilizing its global network of knowledge and experience. The program responds

to the development directions of the Government and supports the realization of green growth plans and policies through the development of bankable and green growth-related

projects and mobilization of financing to facilitate their implementation. The program will focus on the following country program areas with an implementation model that is mainly

directed at LGUs, which include provinces, cities, and municipalities, and MSMEs to facilitate replication and scale-up:

(i) Solar Energy: Accelerating adoption and replication of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to displace fossil fuel-based energy sources and provide inclusive access

to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy services in the remote and/or undersupplied areas in the rural and island barangays in at least 4 areas.

(ii) E-Mobility: Integrating green transport systems, such as electric tricycles, to improve air quality and public health, reduce GHG emissions, and displace fossil fuel

power in selected LGUs in at least 3 provinces as demonstration sites.

(iii) Ecotown/Ecotourism: Enhancing the adaptive capacity to climate change impacts and promoting inclusive green growth to LGUs and communities resulting in the

development, financing and implementation of projects related to solar energy, e-mobility, waste to energy and waste management, among others in potentially 8

provinces.

(iv) Waste to Energy and Waste Management: Enhancing waste to energy and other waste management mechanisms to MSMEs to increase their resource savings and

reduce solid wastes in at least 4 provinces.

78


GGGI will continue to foster and strengthen partnership and cooperation with the government both at the national and local level to promote GGGI’s core values to address country’s

critical needs and strategic priorities in the areas of Solar Energy, E-Mobility, Ecotown/Ecotourism, and Waste to Energy and Waste Management. A key element is the broadening

of partnerships and collaboration with diverse stakeholders such as: a.) Resource Blending with other partners (and even Government) for common initiatives; b.) Leveraging GGGI

resources to influence/inform larger Government programs; c.) Rolling applications in call for proposals from relevant external sources; d.) Mobilizing domestic funding sources

(e.g. Government Financing Institutions; LGUs; Government Grants; etc.) to finance bankable projects. Among the development partners, GGGI is currently exploring partnership

with Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) on Climate Resilience and Inclusive Green Growth for Poor Rural Communities; GCF where initial discussions with the

National Designated Authority (NDA) and Accredited Entities (AE).

79


Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Philippines for 2019-2020: $1 million; Government counterpart funding: $0.335 million, and Donor co-financing of the

program is expected at $4.995 million in the biennium.

Papua New Guinea

Country Strategy:

Papua New Guinea (PNG) is one of the 13 founding members of GGGI, committing their support to the organization at the 2012 Rio+20 Summit. However, it was not until 2017

that GGGI and PNG began to explore programmatic opportunities in the country. PNG has demonstrated a commitment to green growth and climate resilience. PNG’s commitment

to green growth was reinforced in 2014 through the National Climate Compatible Development Management Policy (NCCDMP) and through the National Strategy for Responsible

Sustainable Development (StaRS). Both the NCCDMP and StaRS promote socio-economic growth through a paradigm shift in PNG’s approach towards economic growth,

emphasizing the renewable use of resources rather than extractive activities, preserving and sustainably engaging with the environment, and promoting equal access to health,

education and employment. While the political will to shift towards a green growth pathway is strong, there is low capacity and coordination in the Government of PNG to translate

this commitment into green investments and project implementation.

The relationship between the Government of PNG and GGGI was renewed when the Institute was selected as PNG’s Delivery Partner to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) readiness

project, after GGGI’s first mission to the country in June 2017. In October 2017, representatives from the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Climate Change Development Authority

(CCDA), and the Department of Environment and Conservation of PNG participated in GGGWeek 2017 in Addis Ababa and shared their experiences in apply for GCF readiness

funding. In November 2017, GGGI conducted the first national workshop on accessing climate finance, where cross-sectoral stakeholders gathered to identify common challenges

that the country faces in accessing climate finance, address potential solutions, and understand how GGGI can further support PNG to build relevant capacity, strengthen coordination

and develop innovative climate project proposals. The GCF readiness project, in the amount of $667,427 with a 24-month implementation period, was approved by GCF on 18

December 2017.

In addition to support to access climate finance, the PNG government has also identified areas of support for GGGI including (i) mainstreaming green growth into national planning,

(ii) local- and provincial-level climate adaptation activities (iii) green cities development, and (iv) expanding access to affordable and sustainable energy services.

Country Program:

GGGI supports PNG with a focus on gender-and socially inclusive climate resilience and green cities development. Based on PNG’s StaRS, NCCDMP, and NDC commitments,

GGGI focuses on these areas:

(i) Cross-cutting. GGGI will continue to provide gender and socially inclusive green growth support to PNG, through the implementation of the GCF readiness

project approved in 2017, in close collaboration with the CCDA, the National Designated Authority (NDA) for GCF. It will also support the Government of PNG

in mainstreaming gender and socially inclusive green growth and climate resilient approach in its national and subnational planning; and in the development of

climate-resilient rural communities by introducing the Eco-town approach that could enhance the livelihoods, increase equitable and inclusive access to basic

services, generate income sources from green activities, and improve the quality of life of residents of climate-vulnerable localities in the country. A climate

resilient green growth for localities that proactively addresses climate vulnerabilities and risks and presents adequate and effective adaptation measures and green

growth solutions is proposed to be developed. The CRGG program emphasizes capacity building for provincial and local government, communities and private

sector. The program would leverage GGGI’s existing readiness work in PNG.

(ii) Green cities development. GGGI supports the Government of PNG by introducing and systematizing a green city model that is not just resource efficient and low

carbon but restores productivity of its rich ecosystem services and strengthens climate resilience of the urban infrastructure - GGGI provides sequenced, systematic

approaches from assessment of green growth opportunities in cities, to development of strategic green city development planning and to originating/structuring

bankable projects to implement key sustainable infrastructure across energy, water, sanitation, transportation, health, and urban green jobs.

82


GGGI is working closely with the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA), the NDA for GCF Readiness project, in the implementation of the GCF Readiness and

Preparatory Support proposal. GGGI has been coordinating with USAID Climate Ready, which committed to provide additional resources for institutional capacity building that will

help prepare the NDA in the implementation of the GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support proposal. GGGI is also exploring partnership opportunities with other development

organizations and stakeholders in the country. GGGI will also pursue collaboration with the Australian Government, which has expressed a strong interest in GGGI’s work in PNG,

to support local-level adaptation activities. Other potential development partners include the Government of Korea, which has a strong interest in PNG due to the upcoming APEC

meetings and Korea’s interest in developing bankable projects in the country. Other potential opportunities for partnership in the country include the Government of New Zealand,

the Asian Development Bank, and the World Bank.

Thailand

Country Strategy:

Since 2014, GGGI has built strong presence in Thailand. GGGI worked with the Thai Government to develop the Industry GHG Reduction Roadmap focusing on three high-impact

industrial sectors: automotive parts, palm oil, and frozen seafood. GGGI has worked closely with the government to accelerate the implementation of Nationally Determined

Contribution (NDC) since the country committed to reduce its GHGs under the Paris Agreement. The NDC Action Plan for the Industrial Sector was successfully developed in early

2017 with positive feedback and strong buy-in from relevant stakeholders. GGGI is also working on NDC implementation through the development of bankable green projects. In

this effort, GGGI is working closely with industries to identify inclusive and potential green projects for which GGGI will develop high-quality feasibility studies and aim to match

these bankable projects with potential investors or lenders by the end of 2018. In addition, GGGI has successfully assessed NDC capacity needs and gaps, and will deliver capacity

building programs to key stakeholders in 2018.

With GGGI’s demonstrated progress summarized above, Thailand became a GGGI Member State in 2016. Following that, GGGI successfully developed the Country Planning

Framework (CPF), a five-year cooperation framework, with the Thai Government in 2017. Both parties agreed that priority areas for cooperation should include green energy

transformation of Thailand’s industrial sector and green urban development in Thailand.

Country Program:

Based on Thailand’s current five-year national development plan, the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP) covering the period of 2017-2021, GGGI will

continue to support the country in advancing green growth development objectives. GGGI agreed on this focus with the government and other relevant stakeholders, through the

CPF development process. The Thailand program will retain interventions focusing around the industrial sector in order to drive the country towards meeting its NDC commitment

and enhancing its competitiveness through scaling up renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as to ensure the liveability of communities. To be precise, under the Framework,

GGGI focuses on two areas:

(i) Sustainable energy: GGGI supports the Thai Government to accelerate investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy in the industrial sector through bankable

project development, and policy and regulatory enhancement. This aims to create sustainable business models for green investment and mobilize USD 20 million for

sustainable energy investment which will positively affect at least 5 million people. Overall, this will lead to 8-11% GHG emission reduction from BAU, 14.4% of

reduction in national energy intensity, 17.7% of renewable energy, and green jobs creation.

(ii) Green cities: GGGI supports inclusive green urban development in Thailand by integrating inclusive and gender-sensitive green growth and climate resilience into the

spatial and economic planning of urban areas as accelerating the effective implementation of green cities projects and activities. This aims to achieve improved

sanitation, sustainable waste management, sustainable public transport, improved air quality, and enhanced adaption to climate change. This will improve the livelihood

of at least 6 million people or 1.5 million household around the country.

86


GGGI willl leverage strong partnership with the Thai Government to explore resource mobilization opportunities with potential donors and development agencies.

Given the fact that GGGI is positioned to be a trust advisor to the government, GGGI will leverage this streghth to explore opportunties to work with the Green Climate Fund (GCF);

especially GCF Readiness. GGGI will explore opportunties for other global funding prospects; such as NAMA facility. As for bilateral funding, GGGI will seek opportunties with

bilateral donors and development agencies which share similar mandate. This includes, but not limited to, the UK, Germany, Austrailia, Korea, and others. Also, since GGGI is

working closely with private sector and industries in Thailand, this provide great opportunity for GGGI to work with non-trandtitional development agencies/insittutes in Korea,

UAE, China, and other countries.

improve resilience to climate change and natural disasters and address its rural-urban divide. The Government of Vanuatu makes clear its dedication to holistic growth in its National

Sustainable Development Plan 2016-2030 (NSDP), which states that “a more inclusive, equitable, and balanced approach is needed to promote sustainability, eradicate poverty, and

enhance well-being and happiness.” In the 2015-16 period GGGI supported the government in its effort to set up functional institutions and plans that can implement its inclusive

and environmentally friendly energy transition. This work included the updating of the National Energy Road Map (NERM) and support for the initial design and approval of a

National Green Energy Fund (NGEF) which places priority on the rural areas of Vanuatu and aims to improve energy services to more than 35,000 off-grid households.

In 2017-2018, in line with the Country Planning Framework (CPF) 2017-2021 (http://gggi.org/report/vanuatu-country-planning-framework-2017-2021/), GGGI focused its support

on expanded access to inclusive, affordable and sustainable energy services for rural households, businesses and public institutions through continued technical assistance for the

detailed design, establishment and operationalization of the NGEF, including identification of appropriate financial products, a project pipeline and gender analysis for the

implementation of the Fund. During 2017, the NGEF Task Force and Management Unit were established, including the hiring of the NGEF Manager and an initial commitment of

0.07m from the Government of Vanuatu towards the operational costs of the NGEF. In 2018, the NGEF legislation will be passed through Parliament and the Management Board

will be established (including the Ministry for Women’s Affairs), fully operationalizing the Fund, while further national and international seed funding will be confirmed. The second

area of focus in 2017-2018 has been sustainable energy services for rural livelihood creation and economic growth in agriculture, fisheries and tourism including creation of green

jobs. A solar freezer project for ten rural tourism operators was designed and implemented, including gender sensitive approaches and disaggregated monitoring, in partnership with

the Department of Energy (DoE) and Department of Tourism. In 2018 a project to enhance climate resilience through locally-managed solar water pumping which aims to reach

approximately 7,500 people in 30 rural communities was submitted for donor funding in partnership with with the DoE and Department of Water (DoW). Alongside these activities,

GGGI has provided various training opportunities for public and private stakeholders (including energy, tourism, industrial and financial sector businesses) in Vanuatu to increase

awareness of clean energy technology, green infrastructure development and financing options. For 2019-2020 period, GGGI will continue to support the government in mobilizing

finance to increase Vanuatu’s energy access and trigger equitable and transformational green growth activities in rural areas.

Country Program:

The GGGI program in 2019-2020 will focus on access to reliable, secure and sustainable energy and reduction in reliance on imported fossil fuels, ensuring access to safe drinking

water and promoting equitable and inclusive broad-based growth by strengthening tourism, infrastructure, agriculture and industry in rural areas – all key objectives of the NSDP.

Based on the Vanuatu CPF, GGGI focuses on three areas:

(i) Rural electrification through renewable energy for households, businesses and public institutions

(ii) Renewable energy for water, agriculture, tourism and fisheries

(iii) Energy efficiency for tourism and industry

Through the focus on these three areas, GGGI’s work will also contribute to achieving the aims of Vanuatu’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to generate 100% of its

electricity with renewable resources by 2030 and the NERM which aims to reach 100% rural electrification and 65% of rural tourism operators using renewable energy by 2030 as

well as improving energy efficiency. GGGI will continue to support the NGEF as a key mechanism for implementation of the NERM. During 2019-2020 the Fund will be fully

operationalised through the launch of the first NGEF products and uptake from the target beneficiaries. Gender responsiveness of the Fund will be consolidated through

implementation of its gender policy, including development and launch of products aimed at women, low-income and vulnerable groups, gender analysis of products and supported

projects and integration of gender into all reporting procedures. At the same time consultations with NGEF on key considerations for an exit strategy for GGGI will be undertaken

and an exit strategy will be developed and agreed with the NGEF Management Board.

GGGI works closely with the Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) which is also the National Designated Authority (NDA) for the Green Climate Fund (GCF). As part of the

resource mobilisation strategy GGGI outputs are closely aligned to the NERM and the NGEF is also part of the Vanuatu Climate Finance Roadmap. GGGI is the delivery partner

for one approved GCF Readiness Project in Vanuatu to support the development of the NGEF which will be completed in 2018 and a second Readiness project is being developed

with the DoE and MoCC focussed on energy efficiency. A GCF Simplified Approval Process (SAP) project has also been identified and a concept note prepared with the NDA to

support the NGEF target of mobilising $10m in seed capital and technical assistance support. GGGI successfully mobilised financing for a solar freezers project in 2017 and is

seeking further resources to upscale this project. GGGI has also submitted proposals to the Luxembourg Government (Enhancing resilience to climate change through solar water

pumping for outer islands) and KOICA (Capacity building to strengthen sustainable implementation of renewable energy technologies for rural energy access) for projects covering

the 2018-2020 period. There is also potential for partnerships with NGOs working in rural areas on water and community development including UNICEF, CARE International,

ADRA and World Vision. GGGI is in regular contact with key donors in Vanuatu such as Australia and New Zealand and is also exploring partnerships with development partners

such as GIZ, SPREP, ADB, World Bank, IUCN and UNDP who are working in similar areas.

Viet Nam

Country Strategy:

GGGI is working with the government of Viet Nam to achieve its ambitious green growth goals. The work is aimed at accessing green finacing, developing the renewable energy

sector to decrease coal power and boosting green growth in Viet Nam’s fast-growing cities. The GGGI Viet Nam Country Planning Framework can be downloaded here:

http://gggi.org/site/assets/uploads/2017/12/GGGI-Viet-Nam-Country-Planning-Framework-2016-2020.pdf Here are a few examples of the ongoing work:

(i) GGGI and the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) have developed concrete guidelines to secure public sector financing for green growth projects. In particular,

GGGI supported the Department of Investment Supervision & Appraisal (DISA) to develop guidelines to integrate green growth and socio-economic indicators into

the investment appraisal framework for public and PPP projects of $430m and above. DISA adopted the guidelines in December 2017 which are now applied to

appraising public investments such as Long Thanh Airport in HCM City worth $16 billion. We have also worked with the SME Development Fund (current

capitalization of $88 million) to increase their funding for green projects in the agriculture, waste and industry sectors which were responsible for total emissions of

142 MtCO2-eq in 2013. This support for SMEs will also result in creating much needed green jobs.

(ii) GGGI has partnered with the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) to assess bioenergy feasibility in Soc Trang province aiming to increase renewable electricity,

generate extra income, create green jobs and reduce agricultural waste for the province home to 1.3 million people with over 30% from ethnic minority groups. The

assessment also provides the evidence to support the recommendation to increase the FIT, potentially unlocking at least $24 million investments in 20MW of biomass

energy in the province. GGGI is also currently working with five sugar companies to design and assess their potential to generate electricity from bagasse waste and

will take one to bankability, resulting in up to $45 million invested and 25 MW installed. The bankable project is expected to contribute at least 2 MtCO2-eq of GHG

emission reduction, providing 3,200 GWh of renewable energy to more than 24,000 households whilst generating 75 green jobs on average over its life time1. This

work is a key first step in developing provincial wide bioenergy plants to reduce carbon emissions and create green jobs.

(iii) GGGI is working with the Ministry of Construction (MOC) to develop a set of urban green growth indicators and an urban green growth action plan. These policy

documents, approved by the Prime Minister, outline key actions to deliver inclusive, sustainable green growth in the urban sector. GGGI, together with MOC, will work

with six cities in Viet Nam, strengthening policies to improve the lives of 1 million Vietnamese. These policies also lay the foundation for the development of a pipeline

of investments and bankable projects – other key areas of GGGI’s work.

Country Program:

Looking ahead to 2019-2020, GGGI will continue working with the Government of Viet Nam to provide strategic policy advice and help develop bankable projects. Our ongoing

aim is to mobilise finance for inclusive, sustainable, green projects, namely to develop renewable energy and realize urban green growth. This will reduce emissions, increase green

services, improve air quality and create green jobs. GGGI will tackle multi-dimensional poverty, gender inequalities and social exclusion through multi-sectoral policy-led solutions

and practical projects that will bring green infrastructure and affordable, clean energy. GGGI partners with Viet Nam to implement the National Green Growth Strategy (VGGS),

the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on the Country Planning Framework, GGGI focuses on delivering gender

equality, poverty reduction and social inclusion through these 3 areas:

(i) Cross-cutting – Green Finance: Increasing green financing by mainstreaming green growth into national policy and enhancing national financing vehicles, with the

aim of reducing emissions, increasing access to green services, increasing green jobs and reducing poverty. GGGI and MPI will develop the Viet Nam National Green

Growth Action Plan (GGAP) for 2021-2030. GGGI will also work with MPI to mainstream green growth in national policy to mobilize green finance through public

financing mechanisms to support SMEs, public private partnerships (PPP) and green bonds. In an initial phase (by the end of 2019), SMEDF aims to approve approx.

$325,000 (VND 1.5 billion) of loans to at least 5 businesses that meet the green criteria based on the guideline jointly developed with GGGI. Building on the review of

the implementation of VGGS conducted by MPI and GGGI in 2017, the updated GGAP 2021-2030 will be aligned with key national strategies to ensure inclusion of

poverty reduction, social safeguards, and environmental and gender related outcomes. In response to Minister Dung’s request, GGGI will also explore opportunities to

access financing for sustainable landscapes, with a potential focus on the Mekong delta.

(ii) Sustainable Energy: Increasing renewable energy in Viet Nam through policy advice and bankable projects to decrease emissions, increase green jobs and reduce

poverty. Working with MOIT on strengthening renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) policies to enhance the development of bankable projects in Viet

Nam such as WTE projects, rooftop solar, and energy efficiency. MOIT has requested GGGI to support the implementation of policy reforms to scale up WTE

technologies, contributing directly to Viet Nam’s NDC under its GHG emission reduction targets in the energy sector (Section 2.5.4 of the NDC) and the waste sector

http://gggi.org/site/assets/uploads/2017/12/GGGI-Viet-Nam-Country-Planning-Framework-2016-2020.pdf

94

(Section 2.5.7 of the NDC) which respectively represent 52% and 7% of Viet Nam’s total GHG emissions. Combined with policy support, GGGI aims to unlock

between $20-100 million in investment for a WTE plant, reducing approximately 225 ktCO2 emissions pa, generating electricity for nearly 53,000 households and

creating 130 green jobs on average. For solar rooftops, GGGI aims to access $20 million of investment in around 25 MW solar electricity which would reduce

approximately 323 ktCO2 over 10 years and potentially create over 50 green jobs. Recognizing the significant potential and economic benefit of energy efficiency

measures in Viet Nam, GGGI will implement Viet Nam’s Energy Efficiency Law (2010) and the EE related mitigation actions under Viet Nam’s NDC.

(iii) Green Cities: Realizing green cities through policy advice and bankable projects to decrease emissions, improve air quality, increase access to green services, increase

green jobs and reduce poverty. GGGI is partnering with MOC on the implementation of the Urban Green Growth Action Plan, through the development of a key urban

green growth report for the National Assembly – highlighting challenges and priority actions. GGGI will also raise awareness on the impacts of poor urban air quality

in Ha Noi or Ho Chi Minh City and propose concrete solutions to tackle this growing issue in order to improve public health and protect children from harmful

substances. In 2017, Ha Noi had 327 days that exceeded current WHO standards for air quality. GGGI’s work on air quality in Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City aims to

improve the lives of up to 3 million urban citizens. GGGI will compliment this work at the national level by working directly with cities to mainstream green growth

into their masterplans, prioritize a pipeline of green projects and develop bankable projects in key areas such as municipal waste to energy.


GGGI is working with bilateral donors (SECO, KOICA and Luxembourg) and will submit proposals to facilities for financing (BMUB IKI and ADB call for a green city strategy

for Sa Pa town, and NAMA Facility). GGGI’s strategy is to partner with institutions to strengthen funding proposals. Partnerships have already been formed with GIZ, RTI

International and the Institution for Labor Science and Social Affairs. GGGI will continue to seek out relevant additional partnerships such as with GreenID (a local civil society

organization). GGGI, where relevant, will also partner with private sector such as SIEMENS for urban green growth. For all proposals GGGI will provide co-financing utilizing the

core resources to have a catalytical effect.

Latin America and Middle East

GGGI’s Latin America and Middle East portfolio consists of four active country programs in Colombia, Mexico, Peru and UAE and four country programs in different stages of

scoping phase managed directly by the headquarters in Costa Rica, Guyana, Qatar and the Caribbean (in collaboration with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States; OECS).

Green Growth in Latin America Region: Latin America and the Caribbean region consists of diverse ecosystems and countries in various economic development stages. Generally,

they rely heavily on extractive industries and agribusinesses. Land-use and agriculture are the region’s major emitters and most of the governments endeavor to address these to

achieve their NDC targets. With growing economies and populations, the countries are increasingly vulnerable to climate impacts. GGGI is a trusted advisor to the governments in

the region and assists with policy development and bankable project identification capable of delivering the scale of investment needed for green growth transition in the region.

Green Growth in the Middle East Region: Its geographic situation and the arid conditions make the Middle East region one of most highly urbanized in the world with continued

high population growth. Consequently, the demand for energy is growing. To compound the challenge, the region’s natural resources face climate change implications calling for

mitigation and adaptation. The countries in the region are actively engaged and taking steps to mainstream green growth. The envisage progress targeted by the governments in the

region include design and implementation of low-carbon urban planning, increased proportion of renewable energy in the energy mix, and creation of green jobs especially for the

young population.

Achievements in 2017-2018 in Latin America: At a national level, in Colombia GGGI supports the formulation of a Long-Term Green Growth Policy to be adopted in 2018. In

Peru, GGGI is finalizing a National Green Growth Strategy and within 2018. In UAE, GGGI focuses on operationalizing the Green Agenda 2030 and implementing the National

Climate Change Plan approved in 2017. At the subnational level, GGGI’s work in Mexico resulted in the first sub-national green growth strategy and a green growth Cabinet in the

State of Sonora to be followed by a Green Growth Plan for the State of Sonora by the end of 2018. In Peru, GGGI is working on the National Forest and Wildlife Plan to support

land use formalization and sustainable forest management. Mobilizing green finance is crucial to complementing and creating positive synergies with GGGI’s current policy work

in most countries. In Colombia, GGGI continues to help the government mobilize investment commitment of more than USD 350 million with the design and implementation of a

REDD+ payments for performance mechanism. Government has formally commended GGGI for supporting the establishment of the Non-Conventional Energy and Energy

Efficiency Fund that helps finance off-grid renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

Achievements in 2017-2018 in the Middle East: GGGI continues to support regional knowledge sharing and capacity building in the Middle East and North Africa facilitating

discuss on green growth topics. In Latin America, regional workshop on MRV mechanism in Mexico City gained traction, and regional program is to be further developed as GGGI

regional office for the portfolio will be based in Mexico from August 2018. GGGI has renewed its engagement with Guyana by scoping a program on upscaling solar deployment to

improve its energy mix aligned with the NDC commitments. GGGI signed an MOU with OECS to jointly work in the Caribbean Island States. GGGI is also in discussions with

Qatar to initiate a country program with support from the government.

Workplan for 2019-2020

Green growth policy: In Mexico, Colombia and UAE, GGGI will continue to its green growth policy support, especially at the subnational level. In Mexico, the aim is to implement

subnational green growth planning and replicate the model in the State of Sonora in other sub-national states. Based on the national level policy development experience, Colombia

program will mainstream green growth at the sub-national level for policy and bankable project development. GGGI will provide technical support for policy development for NDC

implementation in Costa Rica and the Caribbean. In line with NDC implementation, GGGI will provide support to national MRV system in Peru and UAE for enhanced transparency

mechanism.

Green investment: Creating an enabling policy and financing environment will go hand in hand with efforts to design and channel funds to bankable green investment projects and

strengthening national NFVs in Mexico, Peru and the Caribbean. Water project in Peru will develop an implementation plan for NFV to upscale funding for watershed conservation

projects to help increase climate resilience and water security for 10 million people in Lima. Country teams will also look to engage and conduct prefeasibility studies for full scale

projects. GGGI is in partnership with the World Green Economy Organization, and UAE country team will work closely to support this new international entity source financing on

98

green cities projects. GGGI is working to strengthen Costa Rica’s Environmental Bank Foundation (FUNBAM) and is under discussion on developing bankable projects in the timber

sector in 2019-2020.

Thematic interventions: Green transportation is identified as one of the focus areas in Costa Rica and Mexico. Costa Rica has recently announced plans for zero-carbon transportation

and it is timely for GGGI to support this initiative. In the Middle East, UAE program will focus on developing a national air quality strategy and pursuing a low-carbon urban

planning especially in the less developed Northern Emirates. All country programs in Latin America will work on sustainable landscapes. To highlight, around 700 families located

in post-conflict zones are expected to benefit with sustainable production and enhanced market access as the result of Colombia team’s work to mainstream sustainable landscapes

approach. Against this backdrop, the portfolio plans to design a regional knowledge sharing program on sustainable forest management targeting countries in the Mesoamerican

region. Country teams will work to scale up off-grid renewable (solar) energy and improve energy efficiency in Peru, Colombia and Guyana to improve energy access especially for

marginalized or vulnerable populations. GGGI will develop green infrastructure projects and aim to enhance Peru’s access to green funds for these investments.

Partnerships and Resource Mobilization: Most of the programs in Latin America and Middle East portfolio are in the upper middle-income countries. In line with GGGI planning

directions for 2019-2020 work program and budget, country teams are actively seeking to identify and secure funding opportunities. Country teams in the portfolio are engaged in

discussions with government partners and donors active in the focus areas where the team will deliver results in. With the government partners, country teams are in discussions for

proposal opportunities and financial support, or in some cases for in-kind support including office space provision and secondment arrangement. Multilateral Development Banks

(MDBs) based in the region GGGI country teams are in discussions with for potential funding include Caribbean Development Bank, Central American Bank for Economic

Integration, Inter-American Development Bank and the North American Development Bank. The portfolio foresees growing opportunities to work on projects supported by Norway,

and the Korean government and its affiliated agencies including the Korea Exim Bank, Korea Energy Agency, Green Technology Center and KOICA, and tap into GCF with projects

in a number of countries.

Colombia

Country Strategy

GGGI’s Colombia Program has been operating since 2014 supporting the country to incorporate green growth into the policy agenda, particularly in order to reduce GHG emissions

to help meet Colombia’s NDC and SDG targets. The National Development Plan 2014-2018 was the first successful step sending a broad signal highlighting the need to shift the

way of development towards environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive one. This achievment was followed by clear actions to formulate the Long-Term Green Growth

Policy targetted to be adopted in 2018, through a technical consultation process, known as the “Green Growth Task Force (GGTF)”. Equally important, GGGI Colombia has been

designing and implementing REDD+ payment for performance mechanisms, helping the country to mobilize an investment commitment of more than USD 350M. Among them

USD 40M has been disbursed via the Amazon Vision Programand the Sustaianble Colombia Fund (SFC) that GGGI supported in their establishment. These resources will help

tackle deforestation and generate benefits for local people both at the sub-national (with Amazon Vision Program) and the nation level (with the Joint Declaration of Intent for

reducing GHGs through REDD+ and the promotion of sustainable development). In terms of impact, the Amazon Vision Program has reduced 19,599,513.6 tnCO2 between 2013–

2014, and invested USD 12M under Agro-environment Pillar benefiting 2,707 families and preserving 234,633 ha for conservation; and USD 2.3M for the Indigenous Pillar enabling

10 projects led directly by indigenous people and benefitting 50 indigenous areas and 5,100 families. The JDI will begin its implementation phase around October 2018, therefore

the only quantifiable impact to be accounted as of now is USD 15M mobilized corresponding to the first payment by Norway to Colombia for achieving policy milestones agreed

under the JDI. GGGI also supported the government to establish the Non-Conventional Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (FENOGE), which is a national finace vehicle designed

to help finance investment in off-grid renewable energy and energy efficiency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Fund has secured capitalization through a fractional tax on the

purchase of kilowatt-hours valued at between USD 10-15M.

In order to maintian the high quality interventions described above, and to strengthen sub-national level capacities for implementing green growth, in line with the objective Integral

Rural Reform of the Peace Agreements, GGGI Colombia partnered with the Norwegian government to implement an earmarked green growth program amounting to USD 3.2M for

2017-2019.

The strategic approach described above led Colombia to sign a Host Country Agreement with GGGI on March 6, 2017, and prepare and submit a bill for approval and ratification to

the Congress on November 29, 2017. The approval of the bill requires three steps: 1) four formal sessions in the Congress that are planned to be conducted at least 2 times in the first

semester of 2018 (for Sentate) and the two others in the second half or in 2019 (for the House of Representatives); 2) Presidential sanction; and, 3) review of the Constitutional Court,

which is expected to be completed during the first half of 2019. On April 10, 2018, the bill passed the first debate in the Senate and is currently scheduled for second debate in the

month of May.The overall strategy of this program may change depending on the requests and demands from the new administration from August 2018.

Country Program:

Considering the national context and key institutional instruments such us the National Development Plan (NDP), the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), and the Peace

Agreements, GGGI will support the Government of Colombia in three major areas as described below. Much of ongoing tasks in 2018 will be implemented in the field in 2019-

2020, generating immediate benefits for local people, especially those loacted in post-conflict zones. For instance, GGGI’s interventions will increase and escalate sustainable

production of special coffee, avocado, sugar cane and cocoa, benefitting 28,000 people (700 families) in the post conflict zones with enhanced market access.

(i) [Cross-cutting]: For this biennium 2019-2020, GGGI plans to apply green growth approach to the sub-national level, particularly for three initially selected jurisdictions of

Antioquia, Meta, and Nariño, with a plan to expand to three additional regions. This will be much in line with the Long-Term Green Growth Policy (LTGGP), targeted to

be approved by the National Council of Public Policies (CONPES, Consejo Nacional de Política Económica y Social) in 2018. This approach will enable the governments

to better design and strcuture three to six bankable projects mobilizing finance, while strengthening local policy planning (via performance tools) capacity to implement

green growth. GGGI will keep providing technical support to the National Planning Department (DNP) in incorporate green growth into the National Development Plan

2018-2022 with a new administration, which will ultimately benefit the country and GGGI´s Strategic Outcomes.

(ii) [Sustainable Landscapes]: GGGI will maintain its close partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS) for the implementation of

the Joint Declaration of Intent (and its extension by 2025) at a national level; and for structuring sub-national REDD+ Payment for Results Program, targetted to the Green

Climate Fund. A national-wide program targetted to the Green Climate Fund will also be evaluated, depending on the sub-national level trial and data availability of the

National Forest Reference Emission Level (NFRL) that is supposed to be available by the end of 2018. There will be an ongoing support for Amazon Vision program

focusing on Indigenous Pillar, and a comprehensive technical support for the Ministry of Agriculture (MADR) through the development of sustainable livestock

policy/program, zero deforestation supply-chain through Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (TFA 2020), and innovative financial instruments for sustainable livestock

management.

(iii) [Sustainable Energy]: GGGI will work with the Ministry of Mines and Energy to structure two bankable project(s) to promote non-conventional renewable energy projects

100

in line with safeguard and social inclusion. This will be aligned with FENOGE, whose mandate is to finance off-grid renewable energy and energy efficiency projects

reducing GHGs emissions.


To maintain the current level of operation even in 2019-2020 and increase the level of impact on the ground, GGGI Colombia is actively looking for funding opportunities, both at

domestic and international levels. In parallel with the expected membership in 2019, a new set of opportunities will arise for the program. Based on the current projection, GGGI

Colombia requires at least an additional USD 1M depending on the status of Norway funding. The priority is to extend Norway partnership agreement after July 2019. It is important

to recognize that Norway prefers to arrange a cost-sharing type of agreement with GGGI (i.e. mix of core and earmarked). As of now, the targeted other donors are UK via the

Department of Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BASE), Green Climate Fund (e.g. Readiness program to be applied for 2019), and Korea (e.g. knowledge sharing). The

current strategy is to start engaging these potential funders in the first half of 2018, and to discuss concrete opportunities when the new government comes in the second half of 2018.

101


Indicative planning figure for GGGI Core resources for Colombia for 2019-2020: $0.15 million; In-kind (Government Counterpart): [$0.1] million; and Donor co-financing of the

program is expected at [$0.8] million in the biennium.

Costa Rica

Country Strategy:

Costa Rica is one of the founding members of GGGI. Since 2015, GGGI has been working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE) and

Forestry Fund (FONAFIFO) to develop national finance vehicles similar to the country’s Environment Bank Foundation (FUNBAM). In 2016, GGGI produced an analysis of Costa

Rica’s Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) scheme to draw lessons learned and provide practical guidelines for other interested countries in pursuit of developing their own PES

scheme.

From 2018, GGGI expanded its relationship with Costa Rica and initiated coordination with other ministries including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the Ministry of

Finance (MOF) and the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy (MIDEPLAN). GGGI has subsequently engaged in high-level discussions and consultations on the

ground and confirmed that the Costa Rican government wishes to develop a co-funded program by GGGI and the government for joint implementation from 2019 onwards, including

developing a GGGI Country Planning Framework (CPF) for Costa Rica. With the elections and subsequent change in the government expected in 2018, projects identified for 2019-

2020 as of now are broad in scope as requested by the government and will require continued close communication throughout the year to be narrowed down prior to implementation.

Country Program:

GGGI supports Costa Rica’s aim to become one of the world’s first fully decarbonized country, with a focus on greening transport, and implementing the country’s Nationally

Determined Contributions (NDC) and related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Transport is recognized as one of the last major sectors the country needs to improve, and the

new President during his inauguration in May 2018 announced he will implement a plan to achieve zero carbon transport by 2021. In addition, Costa Rica’s NDC sets an absolute

and unconditional emissions reduction target by 2030 including Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF). Against this backdrop GGGI plans to focus on the following

four areas, in addition to developing a CPF:

(i) Green transportation. Action plans and bankable projects developed and implemented at both the national and local levels in support of the new government’s initiative

to zero carbon transport.

(ii) Cross-cutting: Providing technical support for NDC implementation. Strengthened capacity of particularly the local governments to implement NDC. Improved access

to global green financing facilities to mobilize financial resources for NDC implementation activities.

(iii) Sustainable landscapes. Financial instruments and bankable projects developed under a value chain finance approach to reorganize/revitalize the country’s timber industry.

(iv) Cross-cutting: Promoting regional low carbon development. Enhanced NDC implementation capacity across the region by channelling technical assistance from Costa

Rica to the countries in the Caribbean and/or Central America on payment for ecosystem (PES), agriculture/smart farming. Includes south-south collaboration and knowledge

sharing.

(v) Country Planning Framework. GGGI’s strategy to work with Costa Rica developed and endorsed. This strategy will include an assessment of Costa Rica’s green growth

performance thus far and identify issues to be addressed using Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA), a diagnostic tool based on country indicators and stakeholder

consultations.

104


The Costa Rica program will be funded via co-financing with earmarked resources provided by the Costa Rican government. GGGI and the Costa Rican government will explore

potential joint partnerships for resource mobilization from donors and others including Korea International Cooperation Agency, (KOICA), French Development Agency (AFD),

Green Technology Center (GTC), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI).

Guyana

Country Strategy:

GGGI renewed its engagement in Guyana, one of its founding members, with an active membership in 2017. During the consultations, the Government of Guyana (GoG) made a

specific request for support to the development of renewable energy sector with private sector participation in parallel to enhanced access to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). GGGI

is currently supporting GoG scale up deployment of solar and will deliver the following three outputs: 1) private sector adoption of solar/storage technologies and business models,

2) removal of market barriers for scaling up embedded solar generation, and 3) mobilization of financing for the identified and scoped solar generation projects. GCF proposal will

be submitted with expectation to complement and co-finance this project from 2019.

Country Program:

Guyana aims to achieve a Green Economy via a low emission economic-development pathway. The country is abundant in natural energy resources, including wind, high irradiation

levels, and significant hydropower potential, and GoG has committed to 100% renewable energy by 2025 in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Meanwhile the country’s

renewable energy market is still at an early stage and power supply is highly dependent on on imported fossil fuels. GGGI continues to support GoG with policy and institutional

assessment to provide recommendations and innovative financing models to leverage private sector investments in Guyana’s remote hinterland.

Improved policy and investment environment for scaling up renewable energy in Guyana, including the hinterland communities. Supporting the government achiving its energy

targets, GGGI may/will focus its services on utility scale renewable energy, but also on bringing energy services to underserved, off grid communities, both important to power

development of welfare, livelihoods and green jobs for men and women, boys and girls. Through the GCF readiness work with NDAs and DAEs, GGGI can also play a role in

strenthening the country’s systems for environmental and social safeguards.

To note, additional focus areas may be identified in 2018 once the regional office in Latin America and the Caribbean is established, with potential resources identified/mobilized.

Discussion on Guyana Country Planning Framework (CPF) will take place during the biennium once the current program reached an advanced stage.

Mexico

Country Strategy

GGGI has been working with the Government of Mexico (GoM) since late 2012, when the current administration took office. In many ways, GGGI’s support has mirrored the

administration’s own planning and execution: GGGI supported the creation of national policy documents during the first year, followed by support in launching the Megalopolis

Environmental Commission as a new organization charged with tackling environmental issues in the central region of Mexico, and finally during the present biennium (2017-18) by

supporting subnational governments develop green growth planning capabilities. GGGI’s recent work in Mexico has resulted in the launch of the first subnational green growth

strategy and a green growth cabinet in the state of Sonora, the development of a toolkit to evaluate transportation and air quality interventions and proposed policies, and the

hosting/organization of various regional workshops with topics including climate change technologies, the link between air quality and climate change management, long-term green

growth strategies to implement the Paris Agreement, and more recently MRV mechanisms for Latin America. Soon, a new federal administration will take office (December 2018),

which presents GGGI with new opportunities and challenges. GGGI will continue supporting subnational governments for the design of green growth policy and in the design,

finance and implementation of projects, but will also seek to remain nimble to support the new government in the design and instrumentation of green growth policies to enable

conditions for the development of projects for the next 6 years (2019-2024) in line with the attainment of the country’s global goals (NDCs, SDGs).

Regionally, the opening of a GGGI Latin America and Caribbean office based in Mexico in 2018 will bring new opportunities to scaleup the work of GGGI in the region. Specifically,

the regional office can leverage the work of the Mexico, Colombia and Peru country programs; in addition, it can develop synergies with cooperation platforms such as the

Mesoamerican Integration and Development Project (MIDP), the Pacific Alliance (PA), the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and The Central American Bank for

Economic Integration (CABEI). The Mexico office of GGGI will play a key role in ensuring the successful establishment of the Latin America and Caribbean regional office by

providing support in establishing strategic partnerships and scoping projects, leveraging as much as possible the support of the GoM and other partner countries.

Country Program

Considering the country strategy outlined before, the following country program for the 2019-2020 biennium has been developed:

(i) Cross-cutting: Sub-National Green Growth Planning and Implementation. The levers that Mexico has identified are needed to implement its NDCs, suggest that

subnational entities can contribute between 21-66% (43-138 MtCO2e) of Mexico’s NDCs commitments, with the lower number representing those initiatives that fall mainly

under the prevue of subnational governments and the upper figure those were the national government plays a major role, but where subnational governments can play an

enabling role. By delivering 3 outputs (1. green growth strategy, 2. inclusive governance mechanism and 3. increasing green investment flows), GGGI will help sub-

national governments define, adopt and implement local decarbonization and green growth roadmaps contributing to the attainment of global goals (NDCs, SDGs) and to

GGGI’s SO1: GHG emissions reduction, SO2: Green job creation and SO3: Access to services. It will do so by:

a. Implementation of Sonora Green Growth Strategy: Continuing previous work in the state of Sonora and having completed output 1 in 2017-2108 (green growth

strategy), strengthen output 2 (inclusive governance mechanism) by working with Sonora’s Green Growth Cabinet and Advisory Committee to improve green

growth planning and execution, and output 3 (increasing green investment flows) by developing a green bond and bankable projects.

b. Sub-national Green Growth Strategies in an additional state: Replicate methodology developed for Sonora in an additional state. Delivering the three outputs

described previously.

(ii) Green Cities: NDC Implementation through the Electrification of Transport. Transport is Mexico’s largest single GHG contributor:174 MtCO2e (26% of its 2013

NDC baseline). By delivering specific recommendations (policy, technology, trade, feasibility, and finance), this intervention will influence government policies,

incentivizing the creaton of value chains and adoption of electric vehciels, contributing to the estimated 32.9 MtCO2e where electrification of transport may contribute to

the attainment of Mexico’s NDCs and to GGGI’s SO1: GHG emissions reduction, SO2: Green job creation and SO4: Improved air quality. It will do so at two levels:

a. Regional level - Accelerate the Electrification of Transport: By working closely with the Pacific Alliance, develop recommendations for the creation/adaptation

of fiscal incentives to accelerate the introduction of electric vehicles (output 1); develop recommendations to develop regional linkages for the creation of value

chains in electric vehicles and associated services (output 2).

b. Sub-national level – Introduction of Electric Buses: In collaboration with a transport authority develop a technical feasibility study for the introduction of

electric buses (output 1); and develop recommendations to improve the economic and financial viability of the electrification of public transport (e.g. feasibility

studies improved concession models, integrated fare collection systems, funding options, etc.; output 2).

(iii) Cross-cutting: Funding for the implementation of Sub-national Climate Change Adaptation Plans. GGGI will support the Government of Mexico in securing climate

111

finance for the implementation of Sub-national Climate Change Adaptation Plans (CCAP). The government of Mexico has conscientiously developed socially inclusive

subnational CCAPs with wide civil society and expert participation. GGGI will help the government of Mexico in developing bankable projects to help implement

adaptation initiatives (output 1); and mobilize climate finance by helping to develop a funding proposal for the Green Climate Fund (Output 2).

(iv) Sustainable Landscapes: Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing on sustainable forest management in the Mesoamerican Region. In support of the newly

established regional office and its regional program, GGGI Mexico will coordinate with The Mesoamerica Integration and Development Project (MIDP), and the

governments of Mexico, Colombia and Costa Rica to support multi-directional knowledge sharing in the forest sector. Specifically, this will center around two topics:

improve forest monitoring (output 1) by leveraging the Excellence Centre for Forest Monitoring in Mexico; and support the sharing of best practices for sustainable

forest management (output 2) by leveraging knowledge from MIDP countries and GGGI partner countries in the region.


GGGI Mexico is actively looking for funding opportunities to support the implementation of the country program. In general, a tripartite funding structure is being sought with most

resources coming for the GoM and donors and some additional funding from GGGI’s core fund. Major funding sources being pursued include the GoM itself, the UK’s TAP Facility

and Prosperity Fund, Germany’s International Climate Initiative (IKI) and the GCF. More specifically, for each of the projects the following funding structure is proposed:

Caribbean

Country Strategy:

Caribbean States are highly vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change owing largely to their geographical location and size. In response, the states are heavily committed

to building their climate resiliance and transitioning to a low-carbon development pathway. At COP23 in Bonn 2017, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Director-

General highlighted to GGGI green cities and bankable projects as key areas in need of support for pursuing climate resilience and low-carbon dvelopment in the region. Following

up from this fruitful discussion, the two entities have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in February 2018 to formalize a framework of cooperation to work together

to create an enabling environment for NDC implementation by strengthening green growth planning and increasing green investment flows in the OECS member countries.

Key focus in 2018 is to set up a GGGI-OECS joint team based in Saint Lucia to produce a prioritized list of sector/project opportunties at both the regional and island state levels. A

regional workshop is planned in Q4 2018 to share the findings for investment opportunities.

Country Program:

OECS member countries view implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) as an essential vehicle for pursing climate smart resilient growth and have ratified the

Paris Agreement to reaffirm their strong commitments. GGGI supports NDC implementation in OECS member states with focus on two areas in support of enhanced adaptation to

climate change (SO6):

(i) Cross-cutting: Green growth planning for NDC Implementation. Strengthened policy, regulation and implementation of action plans in the OECS member states to

support building resilient cities.

(ii) Cross-cutting: Mobilizing investment for NDC implementation. Improved access, implementation and alignment of green investment opportunities in the OECS member

countries.


Projects in the Eastern Caribbean will be jointly implemented and primarily funded by GGGI and OECS. GGGI and OECS plans to mobilize resource from development partners

that have shown keen interest, including: the governments of Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica and Korea and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). GGGI and OECS will also jointly

explore resource mobilization opportunities from other development partners including: French Development Agency (AFD), Green Climate Fund (GCF), Inter-American

Development Bank (IDB) and Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). For each of the focus areas GGGI and OECS plans to support the existing initiatives the

Eastern Caribbean countries are committed to, namely the Caribbean Climate Smart Coalition and NDC Finance Initiative (NDC FI), respectively.

Peru

Country Strategy:

GGGI work in Peru initiated in 2013 on the National Forest and Wildlife Plan with the National Forest Service, the National Water Resource Plan, and the Competitiveness Agenda

2014-2018 in ecoefficiency. Beginning in 2016 to date, GGGI also supports the ministries of Economy and Finance (MEF) and Environment (MINAM) to develop and implement

the National Green Growth Strategy (NGGS), an important policy for Peru’s OECD membership process. Country Program:

Peru’s green growth vision is framed by international commitments and national priorities that place special emphasis on improved livelihoods for marginal populations, smallholders

and businesses, as well as formalization for sustainable natural resource use. Achieving this vision is paramount in the context of Peru’s OECD membership process, achievement

of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for climate change. These challenges are addressed in the National Green Growth

Strategy (NGGS). To this end, the GGGI 2019-2020 Country Business Plan is focused on the implementation of the NGGS:

(i) Sustainable Landscapes: GGGI will support the implementation of a transformative land use formalization mechanism for smallholder farmers which will result in

deforestation reduction. This includes: (1) definition of institutional roles among key ministries for land use formalization, and (2) design and implementation of criteria for

incorporation of smallholder farmers into public sector financial incentives and competitive funds.

(ii) Water and Sanitation: GGGI will help increase climate resilience and water security for 10M people in Lima by facilitating investment and leveraging capital for an unspent

$8M water user-financed green infrastructure fund earmarked for watershed conservation projects.

(iii) Sustainable Energy: GGGI will support upscaling the current level of off-grid solar expansion program and attracting private investment for energy efficiency to increase

non-conventional renewables in the energy matrix. This will result in improved energy access for underserved populations.

(iv) Cross cutting: This area is comprised of three distinct tasks: (1) strengthening national financing vehicle, (2) brownfield site remediation and (3) Deepening of MRV work

from 2018. First, GGGI proposes to support the National Environmental Fund (FONAM) for accreditation with the Green Climate Fund. This fund would potentially channel

investments for solid waste, energy efficiency and other NDC commitments related to urban development. Second, in conjunction with MIRECO, the Korean government

brownfield site remediation corporation, GGGI proposes to strengthen institutionality and processes for leveraging public and private investment in priority brownfield

sites. Mining is the main driver of the Peruvian economy, and brownfield sites are a focal point for both environmental pollution and conflict. Finally, GGGI proposes to

deepen its work from 2018 with MRV to develop and/or refine baseline information for a priority sector in NDC implementation such as land use change or others.

Qatar

Country Strategy:

The State of Qatar joined GGGI since 2012 as one of the founding and contributing members. GGGI and the State of Qatar engaged in discussions since early 2017 to explore

potential collboration areas, including the establishment of GGGI’s Qatar country office and program. This CBP is based primarily on the initial concept note proposal submitted to

Qatar during the initial stage of the discussion, and the recent official communication between GGGI and the Ministry of Municipality and Environment of the State of Qatar.

Contents in this CBP are subject to change as discussions are underway.

Country Program:

Qatar is aiming to transform into an advanced country with a competitive, diversified economy harmonizing the needs of economic growth with social development and environment

protection, as well as the needs of current and future generations. This is clearly outlined in the country’s National Vision 2030 and subsequent National Development Strategy

(NDS) that is formulated to achieve the goals outlined in the vision. Qatar’s commitment to address the effects of climate change was underscored in its Intended Nationally

Determined Commitment (INDC) report submitted in November 2015.

(i) Food security

- Identify and implement climate smart agriculture projects to increase the resilience of the food security systems.

- Green youth agribusiness development projects.

- Green agri-business joint ventures

- Bilateral food security and food safety & quality agreements or programs

(ii) Green growth planning

- Development of an NDC implementation roadmap for Qatar aligned with the National Vision 2030 and existing economic strategies

Country Strategy

GGGI has been engaged in the UAE since 2011 and is working with the government on its plan for a green economy transition and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. The focal point

for GGGI is the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE). In 2013 GGGI and the UAE government began working jointly on the National Green Growth Strategy,

a multisector development blueprint for moving to a green economy. The Strategy’s implementation framework, the Green Agenda 2030, was approved by the UAE Cabinet in

January 2015. In addition to MOCCAE, the GGGI office in Abu Dhabi engages with multiple federal and local entities, chief among them the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi and

The Ministry of Energy and Industry, and creates broad-based partnerships with community organizations, such as universities and NGOs.

GGGI developed its CPF 2018-2022 with the UAE government and agreed priority areas: (i) Green Agenda implementation, (ii) climate change, (iii) private sector engagement and

(iv) regional knowledge sharing. Following this framework, GGGI will continue working with existing and new partners on achieving national objectives, with a focus on involving

the private sector, which is seen by the government as a crucial catalyst in the green economy transition.

http://gggi.org/report/united-arab-emirates-country-planning-framework-2018-2022/

Country Program

The 2017-2018 work program focused on moving the Green Agenda from a strategic to an operational level. The government sought to launch initiatives under the Agenda and

Plan that helped improve air quality, create green jobs and tackle climate change, all priorities that align with GGGI’s strategic objectives.

• GGGI is currently assisting the government in the implementation of elements of the Green Agenda through two projects. The first is the National Air Emissions Monitoring

Project, whose output will be the country’s first national-level air pollutant emissions inventory. The inventory will include the major polluting sectors and integrate existing

inventories developed in two emirates. An inventory methodology and implementation framework have been developed through 2017 and the first half of 2018, and a major

data collection exercise will commence in Q3 2018. The second is a green jobs baseline assessment, which will establish the share of green jobs in the economy and provide

a basis for future policy. Two working groups will be formed, one for policy and the other for statistics and will include representatives from federal and local authorities

concerned with employment, training and education, women’s participation, migration and economic data.

• Following on from the priorities of the Green Agenda and building on its components, GGGI began collaborating on a national climate change strategy that would safeguard

the UAE’s economic diversification goals and provide a framework for coordinated climate response. In June 2017, the National Climate Change Plan was approved.

Implementation of the Plan began soon afterward with the launch of the National Climate Change Adaptation Program. GGGI is assisting in developing the Program through

conducting risk assessments for four key sectors: health, energy, infrastructure and environment, which will be completed by the end of 2018.

• The UAE office also supports regional knowledge sharing and capacity building in the Middle East and North Africa. Between 2015 and 2017, GGGI organized and

delivered three policy dialogues involving high level government representatives from 12 countries. Practical training is provided to young people as well through the Green

Growth Youth Program, with green growth-themed seminars and internships components.

The 2019-2020 work program will build on the successful delivery of projects in 2017-2018 program and further support the implementation of the Green Agenda 2030 and the

National Climate Change Adaptation Program through ongoing projects and partnerships and resource mobilization that will allow expansion into new areas relevant to both the

UAE’s priorities and GGGI’s strategic objectives. The work program can be categorized into the following thematic areas:

Green Cities:

(i) A national air quality strategy: based on the outcomes of the emissions inventory in early 2019, GGGI will support the development of a strategy to improve air

quality in the UAE, focusing on sectoral interventions and addressing the social aspects of vulnerable outdoor laborers.

(ii) Low-carbon urban plan: GGGI has held initial talks with the Ministry of Infrastructure Development on developing a pilot study on how to integrate low-carbon

planning and design to infrastructure projects, especially in the less developed Northern Emirates.

(iii) WGEO partnership: GGGI will leverage its locations and expertise to source financing for its global green cities projects through the World Green Economy

Organization, a new international body based in Dubai with a mandate is to facilitate cross-border and cross-sector investment in the green economy.

Cross-cutting:

(i) National Climate Change Adaptation Program: following the anticipated completion of the multi-sector risk assessment, GGGI will work with MOCCAE to

http://gggi.org/report/united-arab-emirates-country-planning-framework-2018-2022/

123

study the interlinkages between sectors, identify responsible actors in each sector and develop and value priority interventions

(ii) Green Jobs: following the anticipated completion of the baseline assessment, GGGI will assist MOCCAE and the two working groups in developing an action

plan for promoting green jobs in relevant sectors through policy interventions

(iii) National MRV System: GGGI has held technical discussions with the Ministry of Energy and Industry, the entity responsible for compiling the GHG inventory

in the UAE, on designing and establishing a comprehensive MRV system, improving data collection methods and building capacity for public officials.

Knowledge Sharing:

(i) Youth program: GGGI will engage with students, young professionals, aspiring entrepreneurs and local incubators to raise awareness and build capacity on green

growth and climate-related topics and seek ways of improving green business finance options


The UAE program is funded through earmarked resources provided by the UAE government. Potential partnerships with other local and federal government entities, through which

resources can be mobilized, are currently being explored.

Thematic and Green Investment Services (GIS) Origination Plans

1. Sustainable Energy: Sustainable Energy is a targeted thematic area in 18 of GGGI’s Country Business Plans. The Global Energy Program 2019 – 2020 comprises (i)

origination of new energy sector engagements in collaboration with development partners and contributes to resource mobilization, and (ii) innovation and business development to

enhance knowledge capacity and exchange. Successful implementation of the Global Energy Program will lead to improved donor coordination, expanded and more innovative and

effective GGGI country programs placing GGGI as a preferred partner for regional and country energy engagements to scale up renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.

The sustainable energy thematic area will aim to expand partnerships established in 2017/18 including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the ASEAN Center for Energy.

New partnerships that aim to complement GGGI’s technical and outreach capacity as well as resource mobilization will be established, particularly with philanthropic and regional

institutions. Indicative GGGI Core resources allocated for 2019/2020 are $0.360 million, and expected partner co-financing is $0.110 million.

2. Green Cities: GGGI’s thematic focus on green cities supports an integrated, cross-sectoral approach responding to local, national, and global needs, including the 2030

Agenda for Sustainable Development and urban-related NDCs. In 2019/20 Green Cities will work with 17 countries. Ongoing successful operations will continue to be supported in

addition to origination in the following three areas; i) programs on climate smart & resilient cities ii) originate programs for new and ongoing thematic opportunities, including low-

cost construction, greening industry and special economic zones, circular economy, and SMEs for green urban economy, iii) strengthen GGGI’s role and visibility in regional and

global partnerships for sustainable urban development, and as a leader in urban green growth.The green cities thematic area will continue to cultivate productive partnerships with

New Climate Economy (NCE) (as an active partner in the Coalition for Urban Transitions), WRI Ross Center for Cities, C40, International Solid Waste Association, OECD Green

Cities, and AfDB. These partnerships span across the program of work and the value chain but broader partners will be identified to support the future program in line with GGGIs

strategic objectives, such as the Clean Air Coalition and UN-Habitat (at the delivery level). For resource mobilization Green Cities has had success with GCF, KOICA, ADB and

Luxembourg and has established a dialogue with AfDB and Caribbean Development Bank. Indicative GGGI Core resources allocated for 2019-2020 is $0.360 million (including

30% staff time). Partner co-financing of the program is unconfirmed for now.

3. Sustainable Landscapes: Sustainable landscapes is a targeted thematic area in 13 of GGGI’s Country Business including Indonesia, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Myanmar,

Philippines, Ethiopia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique and PNG. The sustainable landscapes thematic area will focus most of its resources towards the

origination of new project pipelines, enhancing the enabling environment as well as targeting specific policies to mobilize green investment. Existing and new partnerships will

continue to be cultivated for this thematic area. GGGI is a global partner in the Global Peatland Initiative (GPI), Tropical Forest Aliance2020 (TFA2020) and is a member of the

GGKP’s expert working group on Natural Capital. GGGI is recognized by the global community as a key organization working on REDD+, peatlands, deforestation free commodities.

GGGI is yet unknown in agriculture, bio-economy and coastal and marine sectors. Such partnerships will be prioritized in the next biennium. GGGI will continue to pursue

partnerships and collaboration with CGIAR centers by joint resource mobilization efforts on climate resilient agriculture as well as with Climate Foundation on marine aquaculture,

especially to strengthen the design of robust green business models which still require R&D. GGGI will also develop partnerships with universities/research and other relevant

carbon practitioners to further assess the baseline data needs, feasibility and processes required for soil carbon and blue carbon as a means to provide for additional revenue

flows to green business models. In collaboration with GIS team, strengthened partnerships with development banks, insurance providers and financial institutions especially GCF

and their accredited entities (eg IFAD, FMO) will be developed to enhance finance flows (especially through blended finance) to existing project pipelines.

4. Water and Sanitation: The water and sanitation thematic area’s strategy for the coming biennium is to build upon the experiences that were have gained in the first two

years (2017/18) and further develop and replicate activities in the countries were there are existing programs, and also in countries where there is potential for replication.

Business models will be developed around the proven concepts, ensuring they are adapted and suitable within each country context. Should there be highly-visible and

transformative opportunities that arise, new activities will be developed and pursued.

Partnerships will be developed with dedicated water institutes, such as UNESCO-IHE, WRI, 2030 WRG, SIWI, and water funds, like African Urban Sanitation Fund (AUSF, AfDB)

and Sustainable Water Fund (SWF). In addition, Country Offices will be supported in developing relationships with partners and financiers with a substantive water program or with

127

a specific water focus. A regional proposal (3 countries) on sanitation for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) is being developed. If successful, further regional approaches

will be developed for BMGF. Together with relevant country teams and a private sector party, two proposals will be submitted to SWF, and one to AUSF. Indicative GGGI Core

resources allocated for 2019-2020 is $0.36 million. Partner co-financing of the program is expected at $1.7 million in the biennium.

5. Green Investment Services (GIS): GIS activities will continue prioritizing development of investment projects that fall into the three investment product categories;

bankable projects, NFVs and risk mitigation instruments. Strong emphasis will be placed on obtaining proven investor commitments (e.g., Letters of Intent) for GGGI designed

projects and funds. GIS work will mainly produce investment outputs elaborated in country business plans in close collaboration with country teams and policy solutions teams.

Implementation of these investment projects will result in achievement of minimum three of GGGI’s six Strategic Outcomes by increasing green investment flows in four thematic

areas of GGGI intervention. There will be also a high importance on PCM3 project idea review meetings to ensure development of a robust project pipeline that is commercially

viable and to maintain a strategically balanced portfolio with opportunities for replication, scale and sectoral diversification. GIS is also planning to explore innovative de-risking

mechanisms and business models and structures that aim to achieve impact at scale. Some mechanisms and models will be tested and combined with project ideas and project

structuring in 2020. A combined approach of improving the enabling environment and investor mobilization will significantly increase GGGI’s impact on green growth investment

flows in developing countries and emerging markets. GIS should further strengthen its engagement at country levels and leverage GGGI staff for investment-related initiatives and

partnerships. GIS will prioritize forming partnerships with investors with a deep understanding and a long-term commitment to green growth in developing countries and emerging

markets, principally MDBs, local public and private financial institutions, and local SWFs. Indicative GGGI Core resources allocated for 2019-2020 is $0.360 million.

Water and Sanitation Achievements in 2017:

In 2017, GGGI’s main achievements in the Water Sector:

• Inclusion of Water and Sanitation as a thematic priority, and an output in 12 of the 26 Country Planning Frameworks;

• Active and operational water programs in 4 countries: Cambodia, Laos, Uganda and Rwanda

In Cambodia, for example, GGGI supported the government in the sanitation and wastewater sector and completed a pre-feasibility study for Decentralized Wastewater Treatment

System (DEWATS) in peri-urban parts of Phnom Penh, successfully convinced the government to re-establish a Sub-Technical Working Group on Urban Wastewater and Sanitation.

The Sub-Technical Working Group is important as a platform to discuss strategic issues, review policies and guidelines, share lessons learnt and coordinate efforts among the various

donors and implementing agencies.

Origination Program 2019 - 2020

GGGI will build upon the experiences that we have gained in the last two years and replicate successful proposals to develop business models around the proven concepts, ensuring

that they are adapted and suitable in country contexts. Should there be highly-visible and transformative opportunities, we plan to develop new activities.

South-East Asia (Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam) we do:

• Design of bankable projects in decentralized wastewater & sanitation and reuse and sustainable water management

• Develop national financing vehicles to promote and replicate and scale-up decentralized sanitation/DEWATS

• Develop relevant policy interventions and reforms

India:

• Design bankable projects in solar irrigation schemes based on sustainable water management principles

• Design bankable projects for wastewater & decentralized sanitation and reuse

• Develop of sustainable wastewater treatment & reuse strategy and relevant policy interventions

China and Mongolia:

• Develop sustainable wastewater/sanitation treatment & reuse strategy and relevant policy interventions

• Design bankable projects for wastewater & decentralized sanitation and reuse

Africa & Middle East (Ethiopia, Uganda, Senegal, Morocco, Jordan):

• Design bankable projects for improved sustainable water management & climate-resilient agriculture, in decentralized wastewater & sanitation and reuse and industrial

/agricultural wastewater reuse

• Develop reuse strategy and relevant policy interventions

• Development of sustainable water management strategy, related policy reforms

For Latin America (Peru, Colombia):

• Develop sustainable water management strategy and relevant policy interventions

• Develop sustainable wastewater treatment & reuse strategy and relevant policy interventions

• Design bankable projects in decentralized wastewater & sanitation and reuse and in industrial /agricultural wastewater reuse

• Develop PES on sustainable water management

Assistance on policy reforms will run in parallel with the development of bankable projects. Thus far, our policy projects are concentrated around developing national strategies,

operational guidelines, clarifying roles and responsibilities, but it can also encompass other elements of establishing a conducive framework for sustainable water management, such

as tariff setting & licensing.

Expected homeruns:

• Establishment of a National Decentralized Sanitation Fund in Cambodia or Laos

• Deal closure of a large solar PV irrigation program based on sustainable water management (India, Ethiopia, Morocco, Senegal)

• Arrangement of an investors’ platform for investments, alongside capacity strengthening program of VEI on 42 utilities

129

• Bankable projects designed in China, Myanmar, Morocco and Vietnam

• Policy interventions adopted by host ministry in 3 countries: Cambodia, Laos and Mongolia

Partnership and Resource Mobilization The Water thematic unit sees its role in the partnership and resource mobilization as follows:

• Develop the network with dedicated water institutes, such as UNESCO-IHE, WRI, 2030 WRG, SIWI, and water funds, like African Urban Sanitation Fund (AUSF) and

Sustainable Water Fund (SWF). Aim is two proposals with a private sector party, to SWF, and one to AUSF

• The Water unit works currently with three country teams on a regional proposal on sanitation for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and we want to develop

two more proposals for regional approaches for BMGF.

Sustainable Landscapes Global Sustainable Landscapes Program 2019 – 2021

GGGI’s thematic focus on sustainable landscapes supports partner countries to pursue economic growth while protecting, restoring and using productive areas in an inclusive and

sustainable way. Healthy and functioning forests, agrarian landscapes, waterways, coastal and marine ecosystems and its importance for food security and human wellbeing lies

central to the strategy. Sustainable landscapes projects101 are aimed to support nations transform and scale investments in a variety of sectors and are aimed to deliver three returns

on investments: financial, social and natural capital returns. To do this, GGGI takes on a ‘landscape approach’ which moves away from project and sector specific interventions to

holistic, cross-sectoral, multi-disciplinary, transformational and scalable solutions. Key focus areas include: (1) building forest based economies, including sustainable timber, agro-

forestry and non-timber forest products; (2) building inclusive bio-economies including climate resilient agricultural, fishery and marine commodities, high value add products and

supply chains, bio-based industries; and (3) financing resilient natural infrastructure, which focus on carbon, forest, soil, water, biodiversity – being recognized as assets with financial

value –able to generate additional revenue streams and options to de-risk and scale green business models in the above forest and bioeconomy sectors. To boost the value of natural

capital, GGGI designs policy and investment frameworks, vehicles and instruments. Under focus area (3) project ideas focused on ecosystem-based adaptation or building resilient

natural infrastructure are also targeted. All sustainable landscapes project ideas across the various sectors are aligned with government priorities, contribute to international

commitments such as the Paris Agreement and SDGs, and designed to optimize contributions to GGGI’s strategic outcomes.

Projects are targeted to shape an enabling policy and investment environment where green business models and high value revenue generating products derived from these can be

competitive in the mainstream economy. Effort will be made to prioritize projects with impact at jurisdictional102 scale where government, private sector and communities commit

to sustainable responsible sourcing and collectively meet reforestation, coastal, marine land restoration targets. A typical project size with green business models in productive

sectors are usually smaller than US $10 million and often involve marginalized communities with limited capital. Solutions and interventions include the design of integrated farming

systems and value chains on land and sea which not only results in commodities and high value products but also enhance carbon stocks (forest, soil and blue carbon), triggering

multiple positive impacts to biodiversity and other ecosystem values, providing additional revenue flows to green business models. Business models are aimed to be inclusive and

will address farmers/fishermen access to finance and gender gaps. GGGI aims to identify the most appropriate strategies to enhance collaboration between small enterprises and

larger business entities. To ensure scale, projects are bundled to the extent possible for greater volume and quality with upfront purchase agreements with buyers. Instruments to

mitigate risks to support land and seascape restoration can for example include bonds, guarantees, first-loss provisions and results-based payments to help finance conservation,

buffer and productive zones. Policy frameworks for example to support carbon revenue flows, enhance security of land tenure also form a key part of GGGI’s risk reduction effort.

Investment deals developed from these projects will likely consists of blended finance given the risk-return profile and longer development stages of such projects.

Origination Budget 2019-2020

Origination (80%) - Resources are primarily directed towards origination of new project pipelines, enhancing the enabling environment as well as targeting specific policies to

mobilize green investment, not captured and financed under the CBPs103. Many existing Country Planning Frameworks (CPFs) and currently in development, have not included

sectors within the scope of Sustainable Landscapes. This funding will provide the opportunity to build relationships with new countries, new ministries, scope new opportunities,

especially in countries where achievements of NDC targets are dependent on mitigation and adaptation actions in the forest, agriculture and marine sectors. Beyond forest carbon,

limited understanding still exists on soil carbon and blue carbon investment opportunities. R&D on these topics targeted to strengthen business models will also be prioritized. See

results framework for anticipated results.

Partnership, exchange and outreach (20%): A limited amount of resources will be targeted to strengthen partnerships, especially to develop joint proposals. Knowledge products

based on successful business models and projects will be developed and profiled at global and online platforms (i.e. GGKP). Beyond the monthly Community of Practice which

allows GGGI country teams to exchange ideas, earmarked funding is being sought to encourage knowledge sharing across GGGI member countries. See results framework for

anticipated results.

101 Project includes programs with multiple projects/components 102 The geographic area over which (government) authority extends, ie. province, region, district 103 13 of GGGI’s Country Business Plans include Sustainable Landscapes projects in their in country delivery: Indonesia, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Myanmar, Philippines, Ethiopia, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique and PNG. SL staff time and resources needed to deliver these projects are to be included in CBPs.

Partnership and Resource Mobilization Plan

To date GGGI is a global partner in the Global Peatland Initiative (GPI), Tropical Forest Aliance2020 (TFA2020) and is a member of the GGKP’s expert working group on Natural

Capital. GGGI is recognized by the global community as a key organization working on REDD+, peatlands, deforestation free commodities. GGGI is yet unknown in agriculture,

bioeconomy and coastal and marine sectors. Such partnerships will be prioritized in the next biennium. GGGI will continue to pursue partnerships and collaboration with CGIAR

centers by joint resource mobilization efforts on climate resilient agriculture as well as with Climate Foundation on marine aquaculture, especially to strengthen the design of robust

green business models which still requires R&D. GGGI will also develop partnerships with universities/research and other relevant carbon practitioners to further assess the baseline

data needs, feasibility and processes required for soil carbon and blue carbon as a means to provide for additional revenue flows to green business models. In collaboration with GIS

team, strengthened partnerships with development banks, insurance providers and financial institutions especially GCF and their accredited entities (eg. IFAD, FMO) will be

developed to enhance finance flows (especially through blended finance) to existing project pipelines.

Green Cities Global Green Cities Program 2019 – 2021

GGGI’s thematic focus on green cities supports an integrated and cross-sectoral approach and responds to local, national, and global needs and commitments, including the 2030

Agenda for Sustainable Development and urban-related NDCs. Over 2017/18 GGGI played a catalytic role in technical advisory service in sustainable urban planning and linking

green investment to green cities implementation in 11 countries. Green Cities will continue its efforts to support country teams to originate, develop, and implement projects, guided

by the thematic strategy and the SOs. Green Cities is now widely represented across GGGI’s global portfolio. In 2019/20 Green Cities will work with 17 countries (Cambodia,

Rwanda, Morocco, Myanmar, Mexico, Jordan, Lao PDR, Philippines, India, Fiji, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mongolia, Nepal, UAE, Viet Nam, Kiribati).

This focus directly and positively contributes to reduced GHG emissions (SO1) through its focus on waste management, specifically in supporting alternatives to landfills, and low-

carbon building materials development. GGGI’s work in cleaner fuels, public transportation and walkability aims to reduce dangerous concentrations of air pollutants and specifically

links transport policy with air quality (SO4) and related positive health outcomes. GGGI’s focus areas address unmet needs in access to sustainable urban infrastructure and services

in cities (SO3). GGGI focuses on pro-poor livelihood support and job creation in service provision (SO2). GGGI’s work to support Ecosystem based Adaptation (EbA) in urban

planning, links to ecosystem services (SO5) and enhanced adaption to climate change (SO6).

Green Cities Global Business Plan both supports continuation of successful operations but also extends origination towards three areas identified; i) To build programs on climate

smart & resilient cities ii) To capture and originate programs for new and ongoing thematic opportunities in support of GGGI’s Strategic Outcomes less well-captured in its program,

notably, including low-cost construction, greening industry and SEZ, circular economy, and SMEs for green urban economy, iii) To strengthen GGGI’s role and visibility in regional

and global partnerships for sustainable urban development, and as a leader in urban green growth.

To date Green Cities has had productive partnerships with New Climate Economy (NCE) (as an active partner in the Coalition for Urban Transitions); WRI Ross Center for Cities;

C40; International Solid Waste Association, OECD Green Cities, AfDB in support of its African program. These partnerships span across the program of work and the value chain

but broader partners will be identified to support the future program in line with GGGIs strategic objectives, such as the Clean Air Coalition and UN-Habitat (at the delivery level).

For resource mobilization Green Cities has had success with GCF, KOICA, ADB and Luxembourg and established dialogue with AfDB and Caribbean Development Bank.

Thought Leadership Business Plan Thought Leadership Strategy

The Office of Thought Leadership (TL) serves as GGGI’s central body for managing projects and programs that are multi-country, multi-themed, and cross-sectoral in nature. Its

objective is to advance GGGI’s impact at the global and country levels through applied research and analysis, knowledge sharing, and capacity building programs in three core areas

of work:

• Strategic Research: conducting research and preparing technical reports and publications on sustainable energy, electric and sustainable mobility, green growth and the

employment, and readiness assessments for implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and

macroeconomic issues;

• Metrics-Based Tools and Methodologies: applying the Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) to inform national green growth planning and developing GGGI’s

Green Growth Index (and Simulation Model), to be part of an annual State of Green Growth report starting in 2019;

• Knowledge Sharing: sharing green growth best practices and experiences through capacity building and the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP), the world’s

largest green growth knowledge base and partnership platform.

In addition, TL supports country programs and leads GGGI’s long-term partnerships with academic, research, and international institutions focusing on knowledge exchange

and capacity building. The office also coordinates GGGI’s process for developing and approving official flagship publications.

In 2017, TL completed five GGPA assessments and launched the pilot Green Growth Index. TL continued operation and growth of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP)

and established partnerships with four universities. The office initiated new guidelines and processes for GGGI flagship publications and published GGGI’s Green Energy

Development Technical Guidelines, technical reports, and journal articles on food science, energy, and transport. In addition, the office supported seven country projects in the areas

of energy, transport, and green cities.

TL led the development of GGGI’s new green growth theory of change, Strategic Outcomes (SO), and draft guidelines for Strategic Outcomes target-setting. In early 2018, the SO

project initiated a joint work with the African Development Bank Group (AfDB) on green growth readiness assessment in Africa, and two multi-country support programs on green

growth and employment (green jobs) and air quality assessment and improvement.

Global Program

During 2019-2020, the Office of Thought Leadership will build on its 2017-2018 successes in applied research, capacity building, and knowledge sharing to further strengthen GGGI

country delivery and global engagement.

TL’s Strategic Research projects will build on GGGI’s Strategic Outcomes project with green growth readiness assessments, green employment creation policy support, and NDC

implementation support to partner countries. In 2019-2020, the project aims to conduct full green growth state, trends, and readiness assessments in Asia and Latin America, and

support NDC (SDG) implementation roadmap development in several GGGI countries. TL will also continue to support the development and implementation of electric and

sustainable mobility options in partner countries in collaboration with GGP&I and IPSD teams, aligned with NDCs and SDGs, and consider innovative, forward-looking ideas that

will disrupt conventional transport systems and services. TL will continue to assist GGGI countries in addressing a full range of renewable energy and energy efficiency goals,

improve policies, mobilize finance, and build capacity.

TL’s Metrics-Based Tools and Methodologies projects will continue to provide important analysis, data, and stakeholder engagement to help countries assess green growth potential,

track performance, and anticipate opportunities for the future. The GGPA will continue to serve as a foundational process for GGGI member and partner countries initiating or

updating their CPFs, with up to eight countries planned during 2019-2020 using updated methodologies. GGGI will fully launch the Green Growth Index and Simulation Model

using a comprehensive methodology that applies five core dimensions of inclusive green growth across multiple thematic areas and sectors, and share the results through an interactive

website.

TL’s Knowledge Sharing initiatives will primarily focus on continuing GGGI’s leadership in operating the GGKP platform, during which GGGI will work to broaden its network

and engage private sector stakeholders in new industry and finance web platforms, and support GGGI’s efforts to promote green investment. The new GGKP Expert Connect service

139

will provide policymakers the opportunity to interact with leading green growth practitioners. GGGI will launch a new Global Green Growth 2030 Campaign in 2019, describing

successful green growth experience and best practices and present detailed datasets from the Green Growth Index indicating country green growth performance.


During 2019-2020, TL will continue to rely on and expand collaboration with key international organizations and academic partners. TL proposes to partner directly with UN

Environment to jointly raise resources for the GGKP Secretariat. TL will also pursue resource mobilization and co-financing opportunities for: further development of Strategic

Outcomes, strategic analytical work around NDC implementation, green jobs advisory program, and air quality improvement program; and country-level projects and research on

electric and sustainable mobility, LEDS, and other technical areas. Collaboration with partner organizations will go towards in-kind support and joint proposal and capacity

development in TL projects including in NDC/SDG implementation, sustainable energy, green jobs creation advisory, air quality improvement program, and refinement and

development of Green Growth Index and Simulation Model. Academic and international partner organizations will provide input into TL’s macroeconomic analysis, research on

sectoral issues, and indicators-focused tools and methodologies. TL will also continue to lead GGGI’s efforts to engage academic partners in collaborative research, internships,

fellowship, and capacity building activities.

Safeguards, Poverty Reduction and Social Inclusion Business Plan

Sustainability & Safeguards

Safeguarding people and the planet and securing environmental and social sustainability is at the heart of GGGI’s definition of green growth and its corporate mission and strategy.

The main objective of GGGI’s Sustainability and Safeguards Unit (SSU) is to ensure that GGGI programs and projects identify and manage potential environmental and social risks

while developing opportunities to maximize positive social and, or gender outcomes. The aim is to demonstrate and build empirical evidence on how positive social and, or gender

outcomes contribute to a successful green economy transition. Safeguarding is a cross-cutting function that requires seamless coordination and close cooperation with different teams

across the organization.

SSU has been operational since 2015. Work and achievements to date include the development of corporate rules and strategies for mainstreaming environmental and social

safeguards, poverty reduction, gender and social inclusion (SPRSI), such as the Sustainability and Safeguards Rules and the Gender Equality Strategy. SPRSI related activities

have also been strengthened by the availability of Rules for Engaging the Private Sector, Compliance Review Mechanism and GGGI’s Accountability Framework, which focus on

improving due diligence processes, internal accountability and governance. SPRSI has been systemized into core corporate procedures including the Country Planning Framework

(CPF), Project Cycle Management (PCM) and the bankable project origination and development process. Resource materials, toolkits and guidance documents have been made

available for operationalizing SPRSI in the design and development of GGGI programs and projects. SPRSI Focal Points have been established in country programs as well as in

key functional units at headquarters for increased internal capacity, while acting as the “extended SPRSI team” for SPRSI mainstreaming throughout GGGI. Key partnerships have

also been formed with the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) and the safeguards/gender team of the Green

Climate Fund (GCF).

Global Program

SSU has 4 main focus areas for operationalizing SPRSI: (1) Corporate strategies, rules, procedures and core business processes; (2) Guidelines, tools and resource materials; (3)

Internal capacity development and knowledge sharing; and (4) Partnerships and in-country support for improved gender and social impacts. The first three areas have been the main

focus of SSU’s activities to date. However, in 2019-2020, the Unit will focus on building stronger partnerships and supporting GGGI country programs to deliver more positive

gender and, or social impacts. This includes ensuring that policy interventions, capacity building in partner governments, bankable projects, National Financing Vehicles (NFVs)

and knowledge products and services strategically mainstream SPRSI. Support will also be given to strengthening national safeguards systems and gender-responsive mechanisms

to secure international green finance for implementing inclusive and gender-sensitive green growth plans.


SSU will collaborate closely with the country, thematic and green investment teams to ensure that GGGI’s impact on the ground are pro-poor, socially inclusive, gender-responsive

and environmentally sustainable. The Unit has formed partnerships with IIED and GEC, which are acknowledged for their thought-leadership and advocacy work for greener and

fairer economy transition. SSU plans to explore strategic partnerships with the international gender community, as well as gender and social development divisions in multilateral

development banks and funds for resource mobilization efforts.
