The feasibility study will include a desktop study to scope out the techno-economic aspects, followed by a full feasibility study that will include the financial model for investment which should lead to a venture contract signed by all parties followed by a procurement and implementation contract with the developer. Overall objective is: The feasibility of a palm oil waste-to-energy plant in Alotau is assessed and determined to inform green investors decisions on low carbon renewable energy investment. The project aims to assess the feasibility of a palm oil mill effluent waste biogas plant to supply renewable bio-gas power to the processing site and local residents and communities and determine whether demand is sufficient, tariff is affordable, customers are willing to pay, and there is appetite for investment in transmission and distribution
Low Carbon Heat only boilers in Public Buildings in Mongolia Findings and recommendations from the business case study carried out by GGGI at the 122nd Public School in Songinokhairkhan district demonstrated that replacing current coal-fired HOBs with a blend of renewable and non-renewable sources is technically viable and needs to be financially encouraged. Using ground source heat pumps in combination with electric boilers can be technically reliable and if total lifecycle costs of the investment are considered, financially viable, taking into consideration current heating subsides provided by the government to off-grid public buildings. 
Energy efficiency in buildings and the built environment is another important component of the project. GGGI will be focusing on bring value add by developing Building Energy Efficiency Roadmap to accelerate implementation of the country’s 2030 agenda. Together with adoption of standards and labelling regulation for electrical appliances, the energy efficiency in buildings and in electrical appliances are expected to attract more green growth projects in the sector. The project objective is to raise finance for a pilot RE project for school #122 and develop a investment barrier analysis for scaling-up the use of low carbon technologies in replacing coal-operated heat only boilers. This project is aligned with IO2. Increased green growth investment flows which enable partner governments to implement green growth policies.
Thematic bond technical assistance to finance Peru's green economic recovery The project will support the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) to develop and implement a software for Climate Budget Tagging (CBT). The CBT will identify, measure and monitor climate-relevant public expenditure at the moment in which they are included in the public budget. CBT will enable MEF’s Treasury Department to transparently and efficiently identify green, social and sustainable projects that qualify to be financed with the USD 3.2 billion or EUR 1 billion in proceeds from Peru´s recent thematic bond issuances, or future thematic bond issuances. Besides, CBT will allow the government to monitor the share of public expenditures aligned with NDC and SDG targets, and help build accurate climate finance MRV frameworks, while at the same time strengthening accountability and transparency. The project will support MEF produce its first Sustainability Bond Impact Report The proceeds coming from the Government of Peru’s USD 4.2 billion Sustainability Bond finances NDC and SDG strategies, supports green economic recovery, and improves the livelihood of its citizens – notably women and vulnerable groups.
Promoting solar powered irrigation and pumping in Uganda The solar irrigation systems and pumping (SIPS) in Uganda is building up on the results and lessons learned from the Hungary-funded project that aimed Sustainable Energy-Water Solutions for Medium to Large Scale Irrigation of Commercial Farming project that closed in 2020 and the Netherlands-funded project to unlock the solar market in Uganda. SPIS provides smallholder farmers in Uganda with a means to adapt to climate change and build resilience that enables them to maximize production, thereby improving food and income security. The project will focus on establishing sustainable delivery mechanisms of SPIS for small-scale farmers in Uganda. The activities under the project will revolve predominantly around strengthening private sector approaches, through SPIS technology providers, financial institutions, and providers of agro-inputs across the agricultural ecosystem (input, processes, and outputs). This project will also work to advance the business models previously developed to attain financing. GGGI Uganda had held initial discussions with 15 financial institutions under the previous project and will seek to advance these discussions with interested FIs to reach financial close for the investments. The overall objective of the project is to promote effective business models for SPIS, leading to reduced GHG emissions, improved food and nutrition security, sustained incomes, and increased climate resilience for small-scale farmers in Uganda.
Support for Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation into Sectoral Planning in Lao PDR In the process of revising Nationally Determined Contribution of Lao PDR, it was found very difficult to measure the progress on the adaptation component due to absence of sectoral adaptation plan and monitoring indicators in many key sectors. The gaps, barriers and needs of the country to drive and achieve climate change adaptation in the revised NDC are grouped into three broad areas: (i) institutional capacity and coordination including weak institutional and technical capacity to mainstream climate change into strategies and plans or translate them into action able measures; (ii) information including absence of sectoral action plans and indicators in most key sectors; and (iii) adaptation financing including lack of diversified sources of long-term financing for adaptation.

Thus, this readiness grant will develop sectoral adaptation plans for key vulnerable sectors of Lao PDR and concept notes for priority adaptation project to access GCF funding. To ensure an inclusive planning process and effective and sustained implementation of the sectoral adaptation action plans, this readiness grant will also support the establishment and initial functioning of gender-balanced sectoral adaptation teams.

To profile the roles of stakeholders directly and indirectly involved in those value chains of strategic products or key areas for development,
 To survey private corporate activities and business climate in agricultural sector, and

To suggest medium and long-term strategy of development cooperation in agricultural sector with partner country with Korean government ministries.
Global NFV Over the next 15 years, the global economy will require USD 89 
trillion for infrastructure investments in cities, energy, and land-
use systems, and USD 4.1 trillion incremental investments in low-
carbon transitions to limit the global temperature rise within 2°C. 
Despite the needs, channeling international finances into green 
growth sectors is challenging, especially within the complexity of 
development architecture. The key challenge is to attract required 
capital flows for green growth projects in developing countries 
due to lack of capacity of domestic institutions. Design and support operations for NFVs to mobilize additional 
financial resources for developing countries from multiple 
sources to support their national green growth objectives.
Creating sustainable green jobs for refugees & host communities through the green economy in Jordan Jordan finds itself at the forefront of the development-environment nexus, with rising unemployment and stagnating economic growth exacerbated by the COVID-19 economic crisis compounded by significant environmental challenges.

Despite the continuous efforts, multiple projects, and international support to alleviate refugees’ unemployment in Jordan, there is a prevalence of job insecurity, short-term contracts, poor working conditions (incl. low wages, extended working hour, low occupational health and safety measures, etc.), workplace discrimination, and poor accessibility to working permits among refugees and vulnerable Jordanians.  Additionally, the demand for water and energy, two of Jordan’s most limited resources, continues to rise, exacerbated by conflict in the region and the consequent displacement.

The proposed project aims to pilot a “transformation” of the Cash for Work (CfW) programs -focused on green jobs- in Jordan into long-term green jobs through piloting startups and/or scale-up micro and small green businesses.

The project focuses on addressing three primary hurdles for increasing refugee employment - lack of working permits, short-term contracts, and informality-. Furthermore, the intervention will support Jordan’s Green Growth long-term plans and policies. Finally, it will general social and socio-economic co-benefits such as increasing resilience by increasing sustainable livelihoods among refugees.
