Infrastructure for Resilient Small Island States (IRIS) Papua New Guinea EoI for PNG (USD 500,000) was selected for full proposal development on strengthening institutional and technical capacity for climate resilient transport infrastructure development in PNG. The project will focus on technical capacity building of relevant GoPNG stakeholders, revising road design standards, developing Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) guidelines for road infrastructure and piloting CRVA in one of pipeline priority roads under the Connect PNG program, and development of operational manuals to integrate climate resilience in the entire life cycle of road infrastructure development (from construction to decommissioning). The project will support the GoPNG to shift away from business-as-usual development practice towards climate resilient planning in road infrastructure by building the technical and institutional capacity to integrate climate risks through capacity building and guidelines and standards enhancement while ensuring relevant stakeholders' engagement in the process. It will contribute to two IRIS outcomes: (i) strengthened knowledge and partnerships for integrating resilience in SIDS infrastructure, and (ii) improved resilience of SIDS infrastructure to climate change and disaster risks.
Adaptation Funds, support to FIRCA Cote d'Ivoire The Inter-professional Funds for agricultural research and extension (FIRCA) is recently nominated as National Implementing Entity (NIE) by the Adaptation Funds. The FIRCA ask us to support the development of the proposal for FIRCA as they have lack of capacity on proposal writing and mainstreaming green growth. Cote d’Ivoire has a budget of 10 millions under Adaptation Funds, the USD 6 millions is already disbursed by international partner and the USD 4 millions is reserved for the FIRCA as the National entity. GGGI will serve as Executing Entity to support the implementation of the USD 4 millions project.
Technical Assistance to Colombia´s Largest Wind Farm (800MW) GGGI and Jemeiwaa propose a collaboration aimed at ensuring that the wind parks and the corresponding rural electrification projects are delivered with the highest technical, environmental and social standards and to ensure the wind parks can initiate their operations without delays. Colombia´s largest wind park with an installed capacity of 800MW is operational and contributes to avoid the emission of 267,330 ton of CO2/year in alignment with Colombia´s NDC targets and post-COVID Economic Recovery Plan.
Evidence-based policies for the sustainable use of energy resources in the Asia-Pacific Region The project “Fiji: energy and transport data for electrification of the transport sector and electric vehicle power sector infrastructure requirements analysis” will be on electrifying Fiji's transport sector in particular the land transport sector and the infrastructure requirements for the transition to electric vehicles into Viti Levu Island which contains 80% of Fiji's total population. The project is co-funded with UNESCAP within the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MoIT) providing guidance and advisory support on the execution of the project. There are two (2) main objectives of this project which are as follows below;

1. To carry out an “Energy and transport data Audit” for the energy (power sector, both off and on-grid, fuel consumption, etc.) and transport sector (both land and small-scale domestic maritime) including the identification of current data availability, data collection, flows, usage (by whom and for what) and an initial investigation into future power and transport sector data needs, particularly for the purpose of planning electrification of the transport sector and identifying gaps in the current data for this purpose. 

2. To develop a localized analysis of the effects of EV adoption on the electricity grid on Viti Levu, Fiji and costed recommendations for development of infrastructure, and  other related changes as needed to support the required infrastructure, which will be required to facilitate the levels of EV adoption defined in the LEDS scenarios
Policy development of a CO2 based Bonus-Malus sysem for new passengers vehicles As part of its efforts to reduce GHG emissions from the transport sector, the Moroccan government aims to introduce a CO2-based bonus-malus system for new passenger vehicles. The bonus-malus system, also referred to as a feebate scheme, imposes a fee on high-carbon vehicles and gives a rebate to low-carbon cars so that consumers can be induced to purchase vehicles with low CO2 emissions. It can be a promising fiscal policy option because the system involves a market-based instrument that can affect consumer behavior, in contrast to command-and-control regulations that may be economically inefficient. The objective of this project is to assist the Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics and Water (METLE) of Morocco in designing a bonus-malus system for passenger vehicle Category M1 (<3.5 tonnes, maximum 8 seats), which offers a progressive bonus for the purchase of a low-emission vehicle and levies a progressive penalty on the acquisition of a high-emission vehicle. This bonus-malus system is included in the NDC revisions under development for submission in 2020, with support from GIZ Advancing transport climate strategies program (TraCS), which is being implemented in Morocco by the Sustainable Mobility Platform (PMD).
Senegal Green building readiness program The Green building readiness program is designed to contribute to create an enabling environment to green building mainstreaming into major governmental projects and relevant policy documents to promote energy efficiency and resource efficiency in building by minimizing energy use, saving water resource, reusing wastes, reducing GHGs impact and creating green jobs. It is initiated as part a component of the Senegal Green Secondary City Development Program to support the government's efforts for sustainable green growth, poverty reduction, gender equality, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and economic growth. It also covers the entire value chain of GGGI: Green impact of the strategy, Sector/sub-sector strategy & planning and Design, finance and implementation. As part of Senegal Green secondary city development Program, the Green Building Program will increase energy and water efficiency and protect human health as well as it will contribute to the integration of inclusive economic growth and environmental sustainability, which is the belief GGGI was founded on.

Integrated adoption of e-mobility in Jordan UNIDO Jordan has received approval from GEF on a $1.3 Million proposal to support setting up a Low carbon Transport Infrastructure development Strategy for Amman (with a focus on incentivizing decarbonization of transport and setting up charging infrastructure for e-vehicles), with an aim of mobilizing an investment of $13 Million (as a minimum).

Based on GGGI Jordan's deep understanding of the e-mobility scene in Jordan, through its work on a) the E-BRT project with GAM and b) the charging infrastructure pre-feasibility, GGGI is identified as a lead executing entity for this project, as per the latest project proposal that UNIDO has submitted to GEF. The project is expected to have components to support: setting up the required institutional setup for EVs infrastructure in Jordan, developing cars' swap mechanism and linking it to the current congestion issues, developing a PPP deal for commercializing EV charging points in Amman. More details will be provided once the proposal is shared with us by UNIDO.  

UNDO has identified a long list of stakeholders including but not limited to ministries, public entities, private sector, consultants with an initial idea on the role that they are going to play in this project, so GGGI is expected to manage the process including but not limited to procurement arrangements.
Pacific financial resilience through regional integration Pacific island countries and territories (PICTs) are among the most vulnerable in the world to natural hazards, climate change, and economic volatility and shocks. Disaster-related shocks will be exacerbated by climate change.

 PICTs are currently not well integrated in economic and financial management, though there is some coordination through the Pacific Island Forum Economic Ministers Meeting (FEMM) and some training through regional programs.

Regional integration may boost the economic resilience of PICTs to climate change and to finance climate action. Successful examples can be found in Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and Asia. 

The proposed project is a scoping study of opportunities for regional integration financial and economic integration to boost climate resilience. The target actors for integration are central banks and development banks. The intended output is a series of short concept notes on options for regional integration.

After a successful scoping study (this project), AFD may select a concept for feasibility testing, establishment and funding as a new regional program (subsequent projects). It is understood that GGGI would be well positioned to lead the subsequent regional program following delivery of this scoping study. The budget for this project is small (USD 40,000) but the subsequent project budget is expected to be USD 500,000 or so.
Greening Rwanda’s Existing Public Building Stock The first component of the PIN aims at providing guidance to RHA to develop a decent database that captures the basic elements related to managing existing public buildings such as year of construction, area of the building, no. of floors, building typology, no. of building occupants, the current condition of the building, etc. to name a few. The component will further focus on conducting a baseline survey of all large-scale buildings using the data that is available. At a minimum, the baseline survey would assess 74 large-scale buildings in Kigali and secondary cities.

The second component will focus on preliminary/walk-through audits for select public buildings (up to 5 buildings) and propose recommendations to improve the performance of the buildings. The audits will also provide guidance on retrofitting interventions and high-level cost-benefit analysis. This information will be helpful the compute the green investment potential for greening all large-scale public buildings in Rwanda.

The third component of the PIN aims developing an investment proposal (of at least $10M) to green the existing public buildings, the associated financial cost-benefit analysis, and the climate mitigation and adaptation potential. The investment proposal will also seek to enhance the financing mechanism by stimulating private sector involvement and integrating existing policy instruments to enhance the long-term sustainability of the implementation of resource efficiency measures. 

The fourth component of the PIN proposes to develop easy to use guidelines to green existing public buildings. The guidelines will be an extension of the Green Building Minimum Compliance System (already approved and applicable to new buildings only), but with a lot of emphasis on greening the operational aspects of existing public buildings and will be voluntary in nature in terms of their applicability. The overall objective of the project is to bring in a transformational, scalable and replicable change in the way existing public buildings are operated in Rwanda by encouraging green and resource-efficient operational practices to reduce energy & water consumption and better waste management, promote net-zero energy initiatives (where feasible) by conducting a baseline survey of all large-scale public buildings in Rwanda, preliminary/walkthrough audits of at least 5 large-scale public buildings including cost-benefit analysis of recommendations, and develop a green investment proposal (worth at least $10M) to green 74 large-scale buildings that are operating in Kigali and six secondary cities. The conservative estimate of annual CO2 mitigation potential by ‘greening’ 74 large-scale public buildings operating in Kigali and 6 Secondary cities would be 6364 tonneCO2e/annum. This directly contributes towards the implementation of updated Rwanda NDC. 

Further, based on the findings from the baseline survey, and audits the project aims to develop technical guidelines to green existing public buildings in Rwanda. The guidelines will help the facility managers to undertake green retrofitting initiatives.

Initiative for Climate Action Transparency (ICAT)-MRV systems especially for industry and buildings To enhance the efficiency of Thailand's Existing MRV System for Climate Change Mitigation. With the objective to enhance the efficiency of Thailand's existing Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System for Climate Change Mitigation, the project aims at identifying the MRV systems for the building and industrial sector. This will provide a solid foundation for Thailand to effectively achieve its GHG reduction target and further contribute to Thailand's Nationally Determined Contributions Roadmap. The government plans to integrate the project results into their newly developed MRV systems.
Implementation Support for the National Green Growth Plan of Jordan A number of key trends exist in Jordan that pose challenges to 
the country’s sustainable development, including severe water 
shortages and water systems degradation, limited conventional 
energy resources and security, waste management, as well as 
complex human migration in and around the country. Nevertheless, 
Jordan has high ambitions and potential for economic growth.
To deliver on this potential, while at the same time addressing 
sustainability challenges, Jordan developed the National 
Green Growth Plan (NGGP) in 2016 with GGGI support. The 
NGGP provides a comprehensive development approach to 
green growth planning and implementation, supported by the 
quantitative analysis of 24 projects across six green growth 
sectors, namely energy, water, waste, transport, tourism and 
agriculture. However, to successfully implement the NGGP, the 
following barriers need to be overcome: a lack of financing resources and a lack of technical capabilities Enhance the ability of the Jordan Environment Fund to mobilize 
finance for green growth investments.
Develop bankable projects for approval and financing.
Build human resource capacity to develop bankable projects and 
meet GCF accreditation requirements.
Green Sanitation Services Program, Phase I Building off GGGI’s work with local governments during 2017-18, GGGI and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation established an investment partnership designed to integrate climate action and inclusive sanitation at local and national levels in Nepal. The Green Sanitation Services Program was officially launched in July 2019, in coordination with the Ministry of Water Supply, Ministry of Forests and Environment, Mahalaxmi Municipality and Bagmati Metropolitan City, as well as other stakeholders. 

During 2019, GGGI initiated the major programmatic activities including the development of a USD 50 million national biogas program, designed to utilize fecal sludge; the integration of sanitation targets into Nepal’s Nationally Determined Contribution; the preparation of a comprehensive suite of policy interventions to improve the ease of doing business in the sanitation sector; and the development of green citywide inclusive sanitation plans for Mahalaxmi Municipality and Bharatpur Metropolitan City. 1) To develop an enabling environment to attract finance into the sanitation sector through policy interventions and commitment from government to engage in these policy interventions.

 2) To embed sanitation in the national planning framework of limate change. Through embedding sanitation in broader frameworks such as around climate resilience, GGGI will capitalize on opportunities to access climate finance and private sector financing.

 3) To embed the concept of green growth into the local level sanitation planning by supporting two municipalities, where sanitation investments will be established, to develop Green Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Strategy.

4) To develop innovative business models for sustainable sanitation service models in select cities of Nepal, which will be designed to be economically viable, socially acceptable and, technically and institutionally appropriate with a focus on the "sanitation value chain" which includes collection, emptying, transport, treatment and reuse/disposal

5) To develop a mainstreaming strategy to replicate and scale up CWIS in other cities of Nepal and Senegal, and later in other countries using lessons learnt from this investment.
Scaling up building energy efficiency in Mongolia The project aims to mobilize investment to scale-up retrofitting to reduce building heat loss, save energy, reduce GHG emissions and air pollutants, and improve the comfort and well-being of building residents. The project aims to mobilize investment to scale-up retrofitting to reduce building heat loss, save energy, reduce GHG emissions and air pollutants, and improve the comfort and well-being of building residents.  Estimated USD 100-125 million required to retrofit all 730 buildings at sub-national level with full scope – walls, windows, roof and basement (construction costs and materials have increased significantly as a result of covid). Final design of the financial mechanism will need to consider level of financial contribution from households at sub-national level. In some of the bigger cities where 75% of the apartments are located households should have the capacity to contribute, but in smaller towns their incomes may be lower making it difficult for households to contribute at the same level.
