Electric and Sustainable Mobility This project carries out policy and technical
research on electric and sustainable mobility with a special focus on
innovative forward-looking ideas and global technology trends, to
provide insight to GGGI’s in-country work in the transport sector
and contribute to global debate on future mobility. To strengthen
the research work, GGGI has sought and leveraged collaboration
with academic or research institutions. The project also provides
technical and advisory support for country projects related to electric
and sustainable transport, including an analysis of low carbon bus
options for the bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Amman, transport
sector green growth action planning for Jordan, a study to promote
electric mobility in Lao PDR, and the development of a low emission
development strategy for Fiji. The overall objective of the project is to advance green growth transitions in the transport sector through the promotion of electric and sustainable mobility options.
Burkina Faso Country Program Burkina Faso is a Least Developed Country. The country’s economic
performance is adversely affected by recurrent political unrest,
persistent decline in commodity prices and vulnerability to
climate shocks. Burkina Faso’s economy is heavily dependent on
natural resources and has experienced considerable loss in natural
resources, from land degradation to a fall in water resources, soil
erosion and deforestation.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.
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, ii) green cities devvelopment
and iii) inclusive green growth capacity development. The project aims to support Green Growth transition through the greening of the current flagship program (PNDES) taking account the national
priorities and aligned to GGGI’s strategic outcomes.
EU Support to Progressive Platforms for Climate Action GGGI seeks to collaborate with UNDP in advancing policy preparedness for countries as they embark on implementing their NDCs within the context of their National Development Plans. Within their NDCs, these countries outlined their climate change vulnerabilities; adaptation and mitigation targets; and the international support is needed to achieve these targets. The overall objectives of the proposed Action are to:

- Promote implementation of the Paris Agreement and the transition to low carbon and climate resilient economies. Through research and experience sharing, enhance understanding and readiness for the implementation of the Paris Agreement while discussing implementation challenges such as establishing governance arrangements, attracting finance, long term planning, tracking NDC progress, among others.

- Support countries in building the capacity to engage in the UNFCCC negotiations. The Action will support countries develop plan, list of agreed priorities, and engagement strategy for the UNFCCC negotiations both at the technical and Ministerial level. 

This Action is expected to contribute to the following results:

-Mobilise political leadership, foster progressive thinking and discussion among countries.

-Contribute to countries successful implementation of the Paris Agreement and its objectives.

-Support the identification of priorities and the development of engagement strategies in preparation for the UNFCCC negotiations.

-Promote a stronger coordination among the members of the selected groups in preparation for the UNFCCC negotiations.
Sustainable Solid and Liquid Waste Management and Valorization in Rwanda’s Green Cities The project will improve waste management practices in the City of Kigali through reducing materials sent to landfill sites, and using circular economy approaches to valorize three waste streams: 1) municipal solid waste, 2) agro-processing waste, and 3) liquid waste. The project will identify valuable end-products and energy sources from existing waste streams as a means to create green jobs, improve access to sustainable services, and reduce GHG emissions from the three waste streams. This project aims to catalyze private sector engagement through the identification of appropriate technologies, mobilize climate finance to meet NDC mitigation targets in the waste sector, and enable the adoption of circular economy approaches to three waste streams: 1) municipal solid waste, 2) agro-processing waste, and 3) liquid waste.  Focus will be given the City of Kigali with a view to expanding the scope of work to secondary cities and other fast-growing satellite cities at a later stage through earmarked funding opportunities.
PS-Ethiopia-Ethiopian Climate Insurance Acceleration Fund (ECIAF) Ethiopia has an estimated 12 million smallholder farmers, who contribute 90% to the total agricultural output. For Ethiopia to reach its GTP II targets, commercialization of smallholder farmers is a top priority, and the GoE aims to increase the amount of crop production by smallholder farmers by 50% from 2015/16 to 2019/20. 2 However, smallholder farmers are predominantly reliant on rainfed agriculture, making them one of the most vulnerable groups in Ethiopia that are susceptible to various weather-related water risks, such as droughts and floods. To support the productivity of small-holder farmers and realization of the GTP II targets, it is necessary to protect them against such risks and increase the climate resilience of the agriculture sector. To support smallholder farmers in generating higher and more stable incomes that are more resilient to the effects of climate change, the establishment of the Ethiopian Climate Insurance Acceleration Fund (ECIAF) is proposed. To achieve this, GGGI is partnering with ATA (Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency; a government agency that, among others, is tasked to promote innovations and increased productivity) and Kifiya Financial Technology (a digital finance and payment services' provider). The aim of the partnership is to establish a fund on a commercial basis, that can eventually be sustained without external support after an initial period. Several Ethiopian insurance companies are interested to participate.
Sustainable Urban cooling in Viet Nam Cities The project will support the 3 pilot cities of Hanoi, Can Tho and Tam Ky, selected to represent the range of municipal administrations in Viet Nam, to adopt Urban Cooling Action Plans (UCAPs), finance pilot projects and unlock stable municipal budgets for intervention on extreme heat and urban cooling. Interventions will include improved urban design, nature-based solutions, passive cooling measures, municipal incentives, district cooling and public procurement. Five learning cities will follow this work to ensure long-term scale-up (including Dong Hoi). In parallel, to unlock increased finance for UCAP implementation, a national cooling fund will be established under the existing Environmental Protection Fund and contributions sought from public budgets and international donors.  Viet Nam has committed to link this proposed project into enhanced NDC implementation and its results into future iterations of its NDC (see Letter 1 in Annex). Viet Nam has included cooling and extreme heat in its enhanced NDC following consultations with Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Viet Nam (MoNRE) by UNEP/GGGI in preparation for this proposal.The rapid growth in urbanization in Vietnam and the accompanying development of new buildings across major cities in Vietnam present an immense opportunity to future-proof investments while also meeting the energy and building related emission target of the NDC. Understanding urban cooling mitigation potential in Viet Nam, UNEP and GGGI develop ideas to support the Government of Viet Nam to increase cooling ambition contributing to the overall energy and building targets of NDC. The idea contributes to Vietnam’s Plan for Implementation of the Paris Agreement and the NDC implementation programme under preparation, which includes the revision of sub-national climate action plans. UNEP and GGGI will showcase and develop a process to capture local action in NDC implementation.

Green Transaction Advisory Package extension: Accelerating RE financing with PT SMI The Green-TAP 2 aims to provide an extension to the existing Green-TAP project that provides a targeted transaction advisory package to PT SMI (GCF DAE in Indonesia) on a portfolio of renewable energy (RE) projects that require ‘last mile’ support. This second phase is planned to build upon the success from 2021 of the first phase that was approved under Frank's large project challenge.  In the second phase, the portfolio consists of RE projects totaling to an investment size of more than USD 1 billion and represents an installation capacity of more than 300 MW RE.

GGGI team is targeting to mobilize at least USD 200 million in green investment, that represents a total installation capacity of 100 MW, by the end of 2022 - from the two phases of G-TAP project.
Support to CNCAS for GCF pipeline development as DAE GGGI support Banque Agricole by providing capacity building for the development of a green bankable project portfolio. The overall objective is to provide support to the bank through capacity building so that they can develop a pipeline of green projects and provide financing to local and national projects and/or programs conducted at times by sponsors that are clients of the bank. It will also hopeffully facilitate the institution's accreditation by GCF.
Support Update of the NDC and preparation of LEDS The objective is to support the government by providing quality inputs for the enhanced NDC for the industry sector, while World Bank and UNDP will support other sectoral NDCs To support the government of Cambodia to provide quality inputs for the updated NDC for the Industry sector by setting specific and ambitious targets with solid analytics and enhance the commitment and ownership of the Ministry of Industries and Handicraft for NDC implementation, monitoring, and reporting.
Pacific NDC Hub - Phase III GGGI is a delivery partner of the Pacific NDC Hub. The NDC Hub supports Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to enhance and successfully implement their NDCs. Phase III of this project will see GGGI continue to support PICs to enhance NDC ambitions and implement NDC roadmaps and invesment plans.   
- The first phase of the Pacific NDC Hub started in October 2019 and ended in March 2020 (project code: PR1-E1).
- The second phase started in April 2020 and will end in November 2021 (this project code: PAC06).
Strengthening Solid Waste and Fecal sludge Management Capacity of the GKMA (Phase 1) A detailed agreement on the scope is still necessary but these are the initial thoughts:    To strengthen sustainable and gender-inclusive sanitation value chain in Karamoja (and ideally GGGI and the EU discussed to inlcude the GMKA as well - to be decided upon) especially for an after-containment value chain that will be complimentary to the on-going KOICA-UNICEF project. As there is very limited data on the business-as-usual situation of the sanitation value chain in Karamoja, a field visit will be planned to collect necessary data and to conduct a consultation with district / local government. The field visit will also involve visits to UNICEF project sites to assess status-quo capacity to collect, transport, and treat increasing amount of fecal sludge.

Furthermore the objective is to have UG14 "Development of affordable and sustainable financing solution for sanitation sector in Uganda" included in the proposal, and based on feedback from the MT during the PIN review this would mean that the UG14 project idea can go beyond just the financing vehicle for the sanitation vc and can have a broader and wider impact. Long Term Impact: Uganda achieves strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth

NADB becomes a Direct Access Entity of the GCF NADB will receive support from UKPACT (MX22) to develop its Environmental and Social Risk Management System which will enable to advance with its GCF accreditation, but most important to mobilize climate finance under ESS. In addition, NADB has requested further support from GGGI to close gender and fiduciary gaps, as well as to resume and conclude their GCF application. Therefore, UKPACT fase II  resources will be complemented by NADB’s resources to advance in its accreditation through 2022 and eventually (2023) develop high quality concept notes and funding proposals for projects at the subnational level in the coming years. Besides , by supporting NADBs accreditation to the GCF , we are creating another climate financing window; current Mexican accredited DAEs will be able to allocate loans whilst NADB will be able to allocate grants. This complementarity will be key to reduce financial transaction costs;  hence, further  resource mobilization.
BMGF Sanitation through Climate Resilience and Green Growth Phase II proposal The Idea is still at scoping stage with a BMGF virtual meeting in end August/Sept.
Strengthen the NDA and Indonesia's Commitment to the Green Climate Fund This readiness proposal includes interlinked activities aimed at all five key readiness outcomes.
1. Country Capacity Strengthened: initial drafts of the coordination mechanisms and NOL procedure have not been finalized with
multi‑stakeholder input. Development of the monitoring and oversight system will start within this workstream.
2. Stakeholders engaged: this workstream will ensure a multi-stakeholder approach with strong gender equality focus.
3. Direct access realized: while Indonesia is already in an advanced state with one DAE, additional direct access is needed. Few
institutions understand or meet requirements for accreditation. This workstream will identify and support selected entities through the
accreditation process.
4. Access to finance: to identify and develop potential bankable projects, matchmaking between the private sector, financial institutions, (D)AE’s
and project developers will be key.
5. Private sector mobilized: while green and climate-friendly investment is growing in Indonesia, work remains to crowd-in private sector
investors into key sectors. This workstream will identify investment barriers, develop solutions, and facilitate lender-borrower matchmaking
for climate investments. • Establishing and strengthening national designated authorities or focal points
• Develop strategic frameworks, including the preparation of country programs
• Support for accreditation and accredited direct access entities
Advancing Thailand´s Access to GCF To continue the momentum from GCF Readiness support in 2016,
Thailand has successfully developed its Country Program, criteria for
no objection procedure, and other necessary elements. With these
necessities in place, the country would be in a better position to pursue
opportunities working more closely and collaboratively with GCF.
Nonetheless, there are few key challenges preventing the country
to effectively access to GCF resources. These are a) limited technical
capacity of NDA in assessing potential GCF projects; b) unidentified
priority sector for project pipeline development; and c) the need for
private sector engagement in developing the sector investment plan.
The project aims to address the above challenges with the expected
result that Thailand will be ready to access GCF’s resources and will be
on track to achieve its NDC targets of reducing GHG emissions by 20.00-
25.00% from BAU by 2030. To assist Thailand to be ready to access GCF’s resources and be on track
to achieve its NDC targets of reducing GHG emissions by 20.00-25.00%
from BAU by 2030.
Technical Advisor for Mainstreaming Low-emission Energy Technologies to build Guyana´s Green Economy” The proposed is to provide Technical Advisory services to UNDP project (funded by GEF and Government of Guyana) called "Mainstreaming Low-emission Energy Technologies to build Guyana's Green Economy".

The project is managed by UNDP in collaboration with Office of Climate Change (OCC). The project was submitted four years ago and approved in 2017. Only in August 2019 the project was initiated. 

The project was designed to cover all gaps that exisit in the policy, legislation and regulation in the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency sector in Guyana. The UNDP project is divided in 3 components, the Technical Advisory support would be in the three components:

1. Technical and financial de-risking. Technical studies will be done in the national grid and new business models developed. The business models will include PPP and other innovative ways to leverage private investment. 

2. Policy framework and Institional capacities. The project intended to develope a roadmap and review some of the legal arrangements. Since the project was designed some studies has already been done. The ladscape is also difference as recently Government is assessing the natural gas (associated to the recent oil discoveries) to be used as power source. The new scope would be to compile the studies and support Government on deciding the way forward. 

3. Pilot projects. The project aim to is mobilize 5mUSD in key pilot projects. The techincal Advisory role would be supporting the consultants and Government to select and implement the projects. The project aims to ensure that there is a robust technical management system in place for the execution of the Project. It is the expectation that the consultancy will ensure:

-        the articulation of Guyana’s Energy Pathway, inclusive of Renewable Energy;

-        the development of energy sector business models;

-        the establishment of the enabling legal and regulatory frameworks; and

-        the deployment of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Technologies in prioritised sectors.
Electric Mobility Program, Phase III This is the third phase of Nepal's electric mobility program, for 2021-22. The phase will build off the progress made under phase I and phase II, with the introduction of extended policy support for government clients and ongoing resource mobilization efforts under the progam. The overall objective of this project is to mobilize public and private investment to transform the transport sector of the country and develop an electric mobility ecosystem.
ESCO Ecosystem Strengthening To fully leverage the green investment potential in Cambodia, this project seeks to establish a platform to establish a commercial ESCO forum in Cambodia. Existing and new clean energy actors will be brought together in a forum that will serve to forge new business opportunity and foster technical and finance innovation to strengthen the clean energy business environment. This ESCO forum will initially be established within an existing business promotion association or clean energy advocacy organization (e.g. Eurocham, Energylab, etc) with the objective of providing an ESCO business ecosystem strengthening platform The ultimate goal is to transition this forum into a new, independent ESCO association in Cambodia incorporated into the World ESCO association. This ESCO forum will initially be established within an existing business promotion association or clean energy advocacy organization (e.g. Eurocham, Energylab, etc) with the objective of providing an ESCO business ecosystem strengthening platform The ultimate goal is to transition this forum into a new, independent ESCO association in Cambodia incorporated into the World ESCO association.
