Solar Grandmothers in Burkina Faso The project will increase access to sustainable energy in Burkina Faso for 250,000 people across 250 rural villages in Burkina Faso – through supporting both installation of solar systems (solar photovoltaic panels and batteries) and building communicate capacity for the system’s operations and maintenance. The project will recruit and train elderly rural women in the installation, operations and management of the solar systems. The approach to train semi-literate and illiterate women – many of them grandmothers –to become solar engineers has proven successful in many developing and least developed countries. They have then returned home to install solar panels and batteries, maintain and repair them, changing lives in their villages forever. Moreover, they have trained others in neighboring villages to do the same. 

Populations in rural villages are projected to be the first and hardest hit by climate change. The project will contribute to (i) bringing a positive change in the status of older rural women, making them genuine actors in local development; (ii) raising awareness of the need to combat climate change and protect the environment, (iii) reduce urban/rural inequalities and improve the living conditions of beneficiary households, (iv) reduce gender inequalities in rural areas through the involvement of women as key actors and beneficiaries of the project implementation, and (v) accelerate local development through increased income-generating actives in villages. Empowering elderly women to contribute to the reduction of the negative environmental impacts from the use of fossil fuels in Burkina Faso  through the promotion of clean technologies and low-carbon energy source.
Supporting the Implementation of the Green Growth Framework for Fiji - Phase 2 The Republic of the Fiji Islands comprises of over 320 islands. 
The two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu make up three 
quarters of the land areas and 70% of the population reside 
on Viti Levu. Fiji’s economy is driven by tourism, agriculture, 
fisheries, manufacturing and the financial sector. Climate change 
has become a growing concern for Fiji’s economy and the 
livelihood of its people.
Key challenges facing Fiji include:
• 
Vulnerability to external shocks, including climate change and 
financial crises. 
High dependence on imported fossil fuels.
Declining terrestrial and marine biodiversity, resulting from 
unsustainable land management and coral reef degradation. Difficulties in the provision of sufficient infrastructure and 
services in both urban and rural contexts.
Fiji has a huge potential in green growth, including increasing 
renewable energy generation capacity, and moving toward more 
sustainable transportation services and technologies. In 2014 the 
Government adopted the Green Growth Framework for Fiji to 
plan for implementation of green growth across the economy. Support Fiji to align its national targets under the National 
Development Plan with its NDC targets under the Paris 
Agreement and to plan for implementation. Provide technical assistance support to help Fiji implement 
its green growth plans as elaborated in the Green Growth 
Framework and National Development Plan

Structuring of a used tire value chain and a used tire material recovery sector in Morocco With the European Tyre Recycling Association (ETRA) as a technical partner, GGGI is aiming to support the implementation of the two following measures:

1- Support the structuring of the used tyres value chain in Morocco;

2-  Support the enabling conditions for the development of a used tyres material recycling ecosystem in Morocco.

Therefore, the increasing global demand for products derived from the material recovery of used tyres, the development of a used tyres material recovery ecosystem will complement the existing energy recovery activity Indeed, the implementation of a national used tyres value chain will enable the sustainable sourcing of raw materials to produce new products from the recovered material as well as the production of energy for local industry. SO1 GHG emission reduction: A structured used tyres value chain and material recovery ecosystem will reduce GHG emissions by reducing used tyres incineration in open air, ceramic kilns or to fuel hammams, as well as by increasing the use of recovered material in industrial products.

SO2 Creation of green jobs: A structured used tyres value chain is a prerequisite to the development of a new ecosystem for used tyres material recovery. Both the value chain and ecosystem will enable the creation of direct green and inclusive jobs.

SO3 Increased access to sustainable services (sustainable waste management): A structured used tyres value chain and material recovery ecosystem will contribute to inclusive and sustainable waste management while providing local facilities with transporting, sorting and recycling.

SO4 Improved air quality: In absence of a formal used tyres value chain, tires are often used by the informal sector to fuel public bath houses (hammams) and ceramic kilns. The structuring of a value chain and material recovery ecosystem will ensure social, security, health and environmental safeguards that are not currently in place.

Policy Alignment for Green Growth The current phase of Cambodia’s Rectangular Strategy and National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) and will end in 2018. Achieving Cambodia’s international commitments – articulated through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), as well as green growth aspirations – reflected in the National Green Growth Policy (2013) and National Green Growth Strategic Plan (2013-2030) – will necessitate integrated and coherent policy planning and implementation. The design of the Cambodia’s overarching planning document – which will be released in 2019 – thus provides a window of opportunity to align and prioritize policy priorities to fast-track the achievement of development and green growth objectives. Critical success factors in this program include: Green growth interventions need to be built into sectoral plans and budgets as the NSDP is formulated based on sectoral mandates and priorities. the incorporation of green growth in the Rectangular Strategy, NSDP and relevant sector plans is based on robust technical analysis; and The implementation of these targets is aided by institutionalized and systematic monitoring and investment prioritization Strengthen national planning processes through prioritizing and integrating green growth priorities towards the achievement of Cambodia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contribution.
Greening MSMEs and promoting green-preneurship MSMEs, numbering almost a million, represent more than 90% of all registered business enterprises in the Philippines and account for more than 60% of national employment. They are considered engines of inclusive growth as they provide income opportunities for Filipino workers and their respective households yet,  MSMEs, particularly those in the rural areas, face significant challenges such as technical and financial capacity limitations  to sustain and expand operations; and external constraints such as affordable access to electricity and logistical services and  vulnerability to climate change impacts.  The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) supports the development of MSMEs through the provision of equipment grants under the DTI Shared Services Facilities Program while the Climate Change Commission (CCC) promotes climate smart industries under the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) of the Philippines. The PIN project supported two initiatives: 
Scoped potential interventions to develop bankable projects for micro-enterprises in the agriculture value chain to improve climate resilience, improve productivity, and create jobs and income for rural communities and agriculture workers. The detailed scoping study was concluded as a form of project proposal submitted to the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to leverage impactful funding on the same purpose, with an expectation to start a scaled-up project in the Province of Oriental Mindoro in 2020.  

Promoted "green initiatives" for MSMEs by developing “green business indicators” for incorporation in the DTI-SSF Program and encouraged green entrepreneurship through the introduction and delivery of "green growth modules" for SSF Cooperators, MSMEs, and DTI personnel.
Development of the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) System In Burkina Faso To achieve these stated objectives, Burkina Faso needs increased capacity and ability to meet its MRV obligations under the enhanced transparency requirements under the Paris Agreement, whereby Burkina Faso can identify its major GHG emitting sectors completely and comprehensively to prioritize its climate actions in sync with its development priorities.

The key results and outcomes expected from the overall MRV project are:

·         Outcome 1: Established national MRV system enabling the country to meet its obligations under the enhanced transparency framework of the Paris Agreement, to support the country identify mitigation and adaptation areas to facilitate leveraging green investment and achieve its NDC. This includes entrenched institutional arrangements and agreements for data sharing necessary to meet the country’s obligations under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. This will also enable the country to measure and monitor indicators that can contribute to achieving the SDGs.

·         Outcome 2: Enhanced country-capacity to prepare accurate GHG inventories. These include identifying the appropriate MRV requirements for assessing its capacity development needs, identifying the required climate finance needed, and accurately measuring, reporting, and verifying its NDC components. The overall approach of the GGGI project is to: 
(i) be complementary to other ongoing initiatives, focusing on areas not yet explored (energy, industrial processes), (ii) take care of gaps not filled by other initiatives in their sectors of intervention, (iii) ensure the coherence and harmonization of the entire national system, particularly by working to bring different methodologies closer together, (iv) work towards sustainability of the system, through its ownership and ownership by national stakeholders (processes in several ongoing initiatives are led by foreign structures).

Distributed Ledger Technology Powered Improved Cookstoves Finance Facility (DLTICS) Scaling-up the distribution of Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) in Myanmar is hindered by financial and logistical barriers. (i.e. lack of capital and poor money value chain communication). To address this issue, the distribution of Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS) will be funded through a carbon credits financial mechanism. The financial and ICS distribution mechanisms will be linked using the blockchain technology. This technology will allow us to scale up ICS manufacturing and distribution by overcoming the financial and carbon credits accounting constrains of a common ICS project. The project objective is to reduce mangrove deforestation caused by cooking fuelwood demand on the coastal areas of Myanmar by distributing 1 million improved cooking stoves (ICS) to 500,000 coastal families in Ayeyarwady region. This project is aligned with IO1. Strengthened national, sub-national and local green growth planning, financing and institutional frameworks
Women-Adapt: Enhancing women smallholder farmers´adaptive capacity and scaling up climate-resilient food production systems in Côte d'Ivoire The women of the north of the country are vulnerable to Climate change and especially putting them into a food insecurity situation. Our goal is to reduce crop loss and reduced productivity which exposes women to a high risk of food insecurity. The desired impact is that vulnerable and food-insecure women in the Poro, Tchologo and Bagoue regions of Côte d'Ivoire have developed strong resilience and have been able to adapt to the effects of climate change and variability. Smallholder farmers (of which 70% women) in the Poro Region strive to achieve or maintain food and water security due to their exposure to climate hazards (droughts and rainfall variability). The project will adopt a gendertransformative approach to strengthen farmers´ adaptive capacity and overcome technical, organizational and financial barriers through multistakeholder collaboration. This will be achieved through low-impact technologies and food production diversification. MINADER and WFP will help smallholder's access weather index-insurance, financial and market services to protect and stimulate production, while MINEDD will support the shift to sustainable food production systems by monitoring the implementation of risk mitigation measures.
