Mid-term Evaluation of GGGI’s Strategy 2030

Mid-Term Evaluation of GGGI’s Strategy 2030. The Evaluation is intended to support learning and accountability by:

Assessing the continued relevance of the strategic goals and global operational priorities outlined in Strategy 2030, and identifying the critical internal and external factors contributing to, or hindering progress in, the operationalization of these strategic goals and global operational priorities; and

Assessing progress during the first four years of Strategy 2030’s implementation (i.e., 2021-2024), including progress towards the intended results, including high-level targets, as well as the technical rigor of GGGI’s Corporate Results Framework (CRF).

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) -www.gggi.org- is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies.

GGGI’s Strategy 2030 sets the organization’s course for the period 2021-2030, outlining the strategic goals, Global Operational Priorities, and approach for GGGI, working in partnership with others, to achieve the vision of “a low-carbon, resilient world of strong, inclusive, and sustainable growth”. Strategy 2030 identifies two closely interlinked, and mutually reinforcing, strategic goals to be achieved by 2030:

• The economies of its Members will have transformed into a low-carbon and resilient economic development model with GGGI’s support to maximize their green growth outcomes, Nationally Determined Contributions and Sustainable Development Goals implementation;

• GGGI will be well positioned as a world-class, effective, and agile intergovernmental organization that is respected, financially sustainable, efficient, transparent, accountable, and considerate of its people.

To achieve these goals, Strategy 2030 focuses on eight Global Operational Priorities:

1. Catalyzing and accelerating access to climate finance/green investments for Members’ public and private sectors;

2. Supporting GGGI Members in strengthening policy planning, regulatory frameworks, and institutional capacity to achieve green growth outcomes;

3. Achieving a sustainable and circular economy while securing healthy natural systems;

4. Making cities and communities sustainable, livable, and resilient through supporting green jobs, services, and green infrastructures;

5. Accelerating progress in eradicating poverty and gender inequality through GGGI’s country programs;

6. Developing sustainable, stronger, and more diversified funding for GGGI operations;

7. Driving, growing, and empowering green growth communities through knowledge transfer; and

8. Becoming an efficient, high-performing, and agile organization.

The first five Global Operational Priorities correspond to Strategic Goal 1, and the remaining three Global Operational Priorities correspond with Strategic Goal 2. Strategy 2030 is complemented by a Strategy 2030 five-year roadmap and several other strategies, at an organizational, regional, and country level.

Carry out the mid-term tvaluation of GGGI’s Strategy 2030. The Evaluation is intended to be used by GGGI’s Management Team, the MPSC and the Council to inform whether a revision of Strategy 2030 is necessary. Additionally, the Evaluation will inform the development of a Roadmap for the Implementation of the remaining five-years of Strategy 2030 and several other operational strategies.
