Quality of growth matters

Why green growth?

Deliver economic growth that is both

environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive.

Through the green growth model, countries seek

opportunities for economic growth that are:

• low-carbon and climate resilient;

• prevent or remediate pollution;

• maintain healthy and productive ecosystems; and

• create green jobs, reduce poverty and enhance

social inclusion.

Overview of GGGI

GGGI Refreshed Strategic Plan

GGGI Refreshed Strategic Plan

Strategic Outcomes

1. GHG emission reduction

2. Creation of green jobs

3. Increased access to sustainable services

4. Improved air quality

5. Adequate supply of ecosystem services

6. Enhanced adaptation to climate change

Thematic Areas

GGGI Refreshed Strategic Plan

Rationale for Refresh

o New developments since the adoption of the Strategic Plan�The Paris Agreement

�Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

o Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and SDG targets now provide an excellent framework for the transition towards a green economy for our members.

GGGI Refreshed Strategic Plan

Strategic Outcomes Energy Contributions

1. GHG emissions reduction Reduction in GHG emissions through transfer to renewable energy production and energy efficiency

2. Creation of green jobs Green jobs from production of renewable technology components in partner countries

3. Increased access to green affordable energy

Expansion of access to energy by all through additional renewable energy production

4. Improved air quality Reduction in particulates per million through transfer from coal and fossil fuel to renewable clean energy production and energy efficiency

5. Adequate supply of ecosystems ensured enhancing and protecting ecosystem services in urban areas

Enhancing and protecting ecosystem services in urban areas

6. Enhanced adaptation to climate change

Improved resilience of infrastructure

Rwanda’s Country Planning Framework

o National Ownership

o Align with national policies and priorities

o Match with GGGI's expertise, experiences and value change

o Seek synergies with other Development Partners

The CPF is guiding GGGI’s activities in Rwanda from2016-2020 and is consistent with GGGI’s strategic plan 2020 andRwanda’s transformative and development pathways.

Outcome 1:Rwanda’s urbanization is guided by green growth principles

To achieve this outcome, we:

o Integrated green growth strategies in national urbanization programs

o Provided support in green infrastructure investment, green building and sustainable construction materials;

o Enhanced capacity for green city development in Rwanda,

o Planned and developed a conceptual masterplan for a Green City Pilot to demonstrate the feasibility and relevance of green growth strategies for urban development.

(please refer to some lists of achievements on a separate sheet on your desk)

Outcome 2: Resource efficient, low carbon Technologies and Infrastructure solutions are understood and prioritized in urban development

To achieve this outcome, we are:

o Supporting the development of green technologies and infrastructure solutions for sustainable economic and urban growth;

o identifying bankable new technologies and infrastructures to pilot, transfer and share knowledge;

o supporting capacity development, and promoting technologies and solutions that are gender sensitive.

Outcome 3:Sustainable financial instruments support green growth projects

To achieve this outcome, we are:

o Supporting the Green Fund (FONERWA) by providing technical advisory and assistance in mobilizing resources;

o Planning investible projects, developing new financial tools, de-risking factors, engaging with the private sector, and potential investors;

o Strengthening the capacity of the Green Fund (FONERWA) Secretariat, management, and other government institutions to ensure that financial instruments for green growth projects are efficient, effective and sustainable.

GGGI Rwanda

o Implementation tool for EDPRS 2 and the Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy

o National-level framework identifying roles and responsibilities for the development of the 6 secondary cities

o Guiding document for urbanization and infrastructure development based on green growth

o Integrated vision for job creation and poverty reduction.
