PROJECT BACKGROUND:

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as green growth, which targets key aspects of economic performance such a poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability.

GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions.

The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and the private sector to help build strong economies that are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.

GGGI supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams that deliver comprehensive products designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans.

GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world.

These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to countries' development priorities.

The achievement of Ecuador's NDC targets requires a substantial increase in the volume of public and private, national and international climate finance invested in the country.

As a result, the Government of Ecuador, under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (from now on referred to as MAATE) and Ministry of Economy and Finance (from now on referred to as MEF), has embarked on an ambitious effort to increase the mobilization of international climate finance and private investments for a climate resilient and low-carbon development.

The Green Climate Fund's (from now on referred to as GCF) project called "Mobilization of international climate financing and private investments for climate-resilient and low-carbon development in Ecuador" will help Ecuador in achieving its goals.

The project aims to enhance Ecuador's strategic framework to increase the mobilization of international climate finance and private investments for advancing the implementation of the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and its low-carbon development.

One of the anticipated outcomes of this project is to enhance the capabilities of Ecuadorian financial institutions in the effective integration of environmental, social, and governance standards into banking processes, systems, and instruments.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT:

The Consultant's role is to enhance the capabilities of Ecuadorian financial institutions in effectively integrating environmental, social, and governance standards into banking processes, systems, and instruments.
