SUMMARY
Despite the adverse global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, GGGI outperformed its CRF targets for
2020 and ambitions in its Refreshed Strategy 2015-2020. Among its key achievements were the
completion of a record number of 119 advisory outputs that informed the development of green growth
policies, the delivery of 52 advisory outputs that informed decisions on green growth investments, and
the adoption of 54 policies prepared by GGGI by Members and partner governments. By the end of
2020, GGGI had successfully catalyzed a cumulative total of USD 2.06 billion from 67 green
investments deals since 2015. This increase was the result of the USD 476 million in green investment
commitments catalyzed in 2020. Despite the pandemic, GGGI delivered 198 capacity building
activities (with 42,415 participants mainly through virtual events) and published 155 knowledge
products in the form of reports, toolkits, methodologies, and knowledge sharing with the aim of
advancing the global green growth agenda and global and national actions. Also, 82 projects in 2020
included design features that addressed the various elements of social inclusion including poverty
reduction, social safeguards, and gender equality.
For the first time, GGGI published the attribution and contribution Strategic Outcome (SO) ex-ante
project impacts in 2020 and its cumulative program impacts between 2017 and 2020. These initial SO
impact results are collected for the first time and contain some “order-or-magnitude” estimates which
will be improved in the next one to two years. There were other additional results that boosted GGGI’s
achievements in 2020. GGGI supported Members and partner countries on green pandemic recovery

plans through the development of New Green Deals and the provision of various tools and frameworks
to guide policy responses. In terms of resources mobilization, GGGI signed new earmarked funding
agreements worth USD 79 million in 2020 of which GGGI will implement USD 67.2 million. Another
major area of work for GGGI in 2020 was on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)
enhancement where the organization provided a range of support to 29 Members and partner countries.
GGGI continues to thrive and focus on the benefits generated by lessons learned to continue to improve
our project management and business processes and stays motivated by a continuing commitment to be
a results-based organization with increased scalability and “impactfulness” in its programmatic
interventions and results.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of the 2020 Results Report is to present the programmatic and business (non-
programmatic) results and achievements that the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) delivered in
2020, primarily through its Work Program and Budget (WPB) 2019-2020. The Report includes the
new country scorecards, which provide a health assessment summary of each country program
covering its project performance, budget performance and key results achieved. This Report covers
a total of 148 country and global projects that were implemented in 2020.
Despite the difficulties and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, GGGI delivered a very solid
performance in 2020 outperforming its annual CRF targets as well as its ambitions and targets in
the Refreshed Strategy. Among its key achievement were the completion of a record number of 119
advisory outputs that informed the development of green growth policies, delivery of 52 advisory
outputs that informed decisions on green growth investments, and Members and partner
governments adopted 54 policies prepared by GGGI. By the end of 2020, GGGI had successfully
catalyzed a cumulative total of USD 2.06 billion from 67 green investments deals since 2015. This
increase was the result of the USD 476 million in green investment commitments that were catalyzed
in 2020. GGGI contributed to and played a key role in strengthening capacity and advocacy of its
Members in respect to green growth. Amid unprecedented externalities, GGGI was committed to
delivering 198 capacity building activities (with 42,415 participants mainly through virtual events),
and publishing 155 knowledge products in the form of reports, toolkits, methodologies, and
knowledge sharing with the aim of advancing the global green growth agenda and global and
national actions. Furthermore, 82 projects reported addressing the various elements of social
inclusion including poverty reduction, social safeguards, and gender equality. On the back of this
strong performance, GGGI also reported for the first time its attribution and contribution Strategic
Outcome (SO) ex-ante impacts in 2020 and its cumulative impacts between 2017 and 2020.
Although these initial SO impact results are still raw figures which will be improved in 1 to 2 years,
they show that GGGI has already exceeded its 2022 SO attribution impact targets for SO1, SO5 and
SO6. GGGI also expanded its membership by two countries in 2020 to include the Kyrgyz Republic
and Cote d’Ivoire bringing its total membership to 39 with operations in more than 30 countries.
There were other additional results that boosted GGGI’s achievements in 2020. GGGI supported
Members and partner countries to green pandemic recovery plans, including through the
development of New Green Deals and the provision of various tools and framework to guide policy
responses. In terms of resources mobilization, GGGI signed new earmarked funding agreements
worth USD 79 million in 2020 of which GGGI will implement USD 67.2 million. Another major area
of work for GGGI in 2020 was on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) enhancement where
GGGI provided a range of support to 29 Members and partner countries.
In 2020, GGGI continued to improve its business processes and systems including improving the
Project Cycle Management (PCM) 2 and 3, strengthening its project monitoring and reporting system,
modification of GGGI Online, its new project management information system and upgrading its
digital communications virtual meeting system. The Institute’s motivation was underpinned by a
continuing commitment to be a results-based organization with increased scalability and
impactfulness in its programmatic interventions and results. Overall, GGGI outperformed its goals
and delivered strong results in 2020, reflecting the organization’s ability to respond swiftly with
effective measures to maintain its program delivery and ensure sound financial and business
performance during a very difficult year.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This is a report on GGGI’s 2020 corporate results and impacts that were achieved in the second year
of its biennium WPB 2019-2020. The results achieved were measured against the output, outcome
and SO impact indicators and targets in the Refreshed CRF 2015-2020. These results are used to
track the progress and delivery of GGGI’s strategic goals, and to be transparent and accountable to
donors, development partners and stakeholders on its performance and achievements.
The year 2020 was difficult all around as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded to become the most
serious and unprecedented global economic, social and health crises of all time, which directly
impacted Members and caused disruptions to GGGI’s business operations. Nevertheless, under the
circumstances, GGGI responded swiftly and effectively focusing on supporting green recovery plans
for Members, adopting smarter ways to do business, and improving project implementation. More
importantly, GGGI demonstrated a solid performance despite the circumstances and achieved results
that outperformed its Strategy and CRF targets not only for 2020 but cumulatively for the last six
years.
The year 2020 was a transition year for GGGI as it crossed over from completing its first 6-year Strategy to the implementation of the new 10-year Strategy 2030 from January 1, 2021. During the year, GGGI took major progressive steps to shift its results reporting to the country program level focusing primarily on the outcomes and SO impact achieved in every country program using the Impact Pathway Approach (IPA). The impact pathway is the GGGI term for a results framework or theory of change at the country program level. It shows key outcomes and impact of the country program, grouped by programmatic solution areas, and aims to progressively capture all key outcomes/impacts from 2017-2030, aligning with the period of targets in GGGI’s Strategy 2030. To enable this, we have ensured the adoption of SOs in our project portfolio and proposals, and it will therefore emerge in our results reporting through the new Country Program Results Report (CPRR) that we have adopted. The end game is to have impact pathways and results in terms of SOs for every country program in 1 to 2 years. In addition, we have included for the first time the use of country scorecards in this report which presents a broader range of data and information than previously. These include key CRF results such as policy and investment work, actual budget spending and resources mobilized to assess the health of a country program. The 2020 annual results were compiled and aggregated from the End of Year (EOY) Country Program Reports submitted by the Country Teams in two parts: first, the submission of SO impact estimates through the CPRR; and second, the CRF results and progress of previous years’ green investment commitments using the modified online questionnaire in GGGI Online. The Strategy Unit in the Office of the Director-General (ODG) is responsible for processing and validating the results data and putting together the Results Report. The report consists of 9 chapters which cover: an overview of GGGI’s strategic and results framework,
WPB 2019-2020, 2020 projects in alignment with NDCs and SDGs, 2020 corporate results and
impact, other key results, COVID-19 impact and recovery, the organization’s institutional
effectiveness and efficiency, and the country scorecards.

2.0 STRATEGY AND RESULTS FRAMEWORK
GGGI’s 2020 corporate results represent its program and business achievements during the second
year of the biennium WPB 2019-2020 which was implemented within the framework of the
Refreshed Strategic Plan 2015-2020. The Refreshed Strategy has set the strategic direction and
program priorities for GGGI over the past six years since 2015, and 2020 was the final year of its
implementation. The Strategy focuses GGGI’s programmatic interventions on six SOs, which represent
the target impact areas where GGGI will make direct and indirect contribution to its Members and
partners’ achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and NDCs.
The six SOs are:
i. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction.
ii. Creation of green jobs.
iii. Increased access to sustainable services such as clean affordable energy, sustainable public
transport, improved sanitation, and sustainable waste management.
iv. Improved air quality.
v. Adequate supply of ecosystem services.
vi. Enhanced adaptation to climate change.
The Strategy is cascaded down for implementation and action at the country level through the 5-
year Country Planning Frameworks (CPFs) and 2-year Country Business Plans (CBPs) which set the
countries’ program and project priorities in consultation with 39 Member countries and regional
integration organizations. The 2020 country and global programs and projects were developed
through the CPFs, CBPs and Global Business Plans (GBPs)1 in the WPB 2019-2020 within GGGI’s
Results Based Management (RBM) Framework and value chain – see Figure 1.
Figure 1: RBM Framework
The SOs sit above and are supported by three Intermediate Outcomes (IOs) which define the three
broad focal areas of GGGI’s interventions, as follows: (1) IO1: Strengthening national and sub-national
green growth planning, financial and institutional frameworks; (2) IO2: Catalyzing increased flows of
green investments; and (3) IO3: Capacity building and multi-directional knowledge sharing and
1 GBPs sets 2-year global programs and project priorities.

learning. GGGI’s programs are designed to deliver one or more of these three IOs under four core
thematic areas, namely, energy, sustainable landscapes, water and sanitation, and green cities. GGGI’s
programs and projects are delivered within the above thematic areas at the outputs, outcomes and
impact levels along the value chain following the PCMs 1-5 process. These levels of results, which
are reported annually through the End of Year (EOY) projects results reports, are then aggregated,
and measured against the CRF 2019-2020 and presented in both the annual results report and the
annual report. For the first time in 2020, GGGI began reporting on our SO impact achievements at
the country program level using methodologies and targets that were implemented progressively
since 2017 (Figure 2).
Figure 2: GGGI’s RBM Development
Source: IEU, Strategy 2015-2020 Review
GGGI’s value chain cuts a wide swathe from green impact assessment to strategy and planning, to financing and implementation and knowledge sharing. By linking policy and implementation along the value chain, GGGI supports its Members to develop and implement green growth plans and strategies adopted by governments, translated into green investment plans and financing vehicles aligned with national priorities and supported by knowledge sharing and best practices and finally on the right side – the design, financing, and implementation of green growth projects. GGGI was in transition in 2020 as it ended the implementation of the Refreshed Strategy 2015-
2020 in December and commenced the implementation of Strategy 2030 in January 2021. GGGI
has for the first time reported its 2020 results at the country program level using the IPA and a new
CPRR format. A total of 25 CPRRs that were focused primarily on outcomes and impacts were
submitted by Country Teams from which the attribution and contribution ex-ante SO impacts of the
country programs were aggregated. These ex-ante impacts serve to demonstrate the scale of GGGI’s
contribution in supporting the green growth transformation of 39 Members and partners. This
exercise is just the beginning with room for improvement, but the aim is for all Members and partners
to be fully reporting their SO impacts by the end of 2022 and each with their own impact pathway.
This is also the first time that country scorecards are being introduced, which provide a snapshot of
the key results and budget performance for each country program.

3.0 WORK PROGRAM AND BUDGET 2019-2020
The WPB 2019-2020 is the main programming and budgeting tool for implementing GGGI’s
strategies outlined in the Refreshed Strategic Plan 2015-2020. GGGI’s total budget expenditure in
2020 was USD 43 million funded through a mix of core and earmarked funds.
The WPB 2019-2020 has two components: (1) a policy component which lays out the planning
directions and strategic goals cascading from the CPFs and CBPs that GGGI will pursue during the
biennium period 2019-2020, thus shaping the programs and projects to be implemented; and (2)
the allocation of the budget, including financial and human resources, to support the implementation
of approved programs and projects, and enable GGGI’s operations.
The WPB 2019-2020 was the first WPB to be developed and implemented under the new envelope
method, and 2020 was its second year under its biennium timeline. Unlike previously where GGGI
implemented a program/project-based budget which saw the development and approval of fully
developed program/project proposals and their budgets at the start, the envelope method saw the
allocation of budget envelopes to each country comprising a mix of core and indicative earmarked
funding. Countries then developed their projects through the PCM 2 and PCM 3 process, for
implementation during the biennium budget period.
In 2020, the EOY corporate results reporting process covered a total of 148 projects, compared to
131 in 2019, and 70 in 2018 and 49 in 2017. This represents a significant increase in the scale
of GGGI’s project interventions over the last 4 years as shown in Figure 3 below.

4.0 ALIGNMENT OF PROJECTS TO THE STRATEGIC OUTCOMES AND SDGS
Figure 5 shows the alignment of the 148 projects implemented by GGGI in 2020 to the six SOs.
Each project in the GGGI 2020 projects portfolio reported a link to an average of 2 SOs. The graph
reflects the volume of projects that GGGI is delivering under each of the six SOs. SO1 on GHG
emission reduction has the highest level of project alignment with 69%, followed by SO6 on
enhanced climate adaptation at 32%. SO5 on supply of ecosystem services has the least alignment
at 14%. Most of the projects that GGGI implemented in 2020 were focused on GHG emission
reduction. When compared to the SO alignment of projects in the WPB 2017-2018, a major
difference is the 11% increase in the number of projects aligned to SO6 showing the increase in
GGGI’s footprint in climate adaptation activities.

Figure 6 shows the alignment of GGGI’s 148 projects implemented in 2020, with the SDGs
demonstrating GGGI’s strong support for its Members and partners. It is noticeable that GGGI’s
projects have the strongest alignment with SDG 13 on climate action at 45%, followed by SDG 7 on
clean energy at 28%, and SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities at 13.5%.

5.0 2020 CORPORATE RESULTS AND IMPACT
5.1 2020 Corporate Results
This chapter presents a summary of the 2020 corporate results and impact achieved by GGGI
primarily through the implementation of the WPB 2019-2020. These results and impact
demonstrate with evidence that GGGI’s work is leading to the adoption of green growth policies,
mobilizing green investment commitments, and enhancing green growth knowledge and institutional
capacity for Members and partners. In 2020, GGGI raised the reporting of its corporate results from
output to the country program level using the CPRR. The CPRR includes for the first time the
reporting of country program ex-ante SO impact using the SO methodologies that were adopted in
2019. The details of each CPRR can be accessed here. Each country program result is presented in
a country scorecard format in section 9.0 and forms the heart of the 2020 results report. The country
scorecards provide a condensed summary of each country program, its budget performance and key
results and achievements including its reported program SO ex-ante impact. The consolidated 2020
SO impact and corporate results are presented separately below.
5.2 2020 Strategic Outcome Ex-Ante Impacts
Table 1 presents the consolidated SO attribution and contribution ex-ante impact achieved through
GGGI’s programs and projects in 2020 as well as for the period 2017 to 2020. These SO impact
figures are the aggregate total of the SO impact reported in the CPRRs that were submitted for 25
country programs. These are raw figures that have come out of our initial calculations and they will
be further revised as we progress along. They contribute to the achievement of the 2022 and 2025
SO impact targets in Table 22. The SO impact was calculated back to 2017 to coincide with the
2017 baseline used in the modeling for setting the Strategy 2030 SO impact targets. Regarding
GGGI’s SO impact performance against the 2022 attribution targets in Table 2, it has exceeded the
SO1, SO5 and SO6 targets (in blue) in terms of cumulative impact which is a positive start to the
implementation of Strategy 2030. Through this effort, GGGI has now developed the consolidated
database for its cumulative country program impact since 2017, which will be added to the results
of each passing year in the future.

The reported attribution impact is an estimated ex-ante impact resulting exclusively from GGGI’s
project activities that have direct causal links to the SOs. Not all GGGI activities have direct causal
links to the SOs. Activities that have direct causal links to the SOs include the development of
bankable projects and investment proposals for which GGGI has received investor commitment and
the design and implementation of National Financing Vehicles (NFVs) for the mobilization of green
investments. Contribution impacts capture the level of impacts that GGGI activities contribute to
achieving its Members’ and partners’ NDCs and SDG targets. Activities that qualify under contribution
impact include policy development, investment, knowledge sharing and capacity development.
However, the figures for both types of SO impact are still incomplete because they are based only
on completed outcomes that have the necessary information to enable their SO impact calculation.
The SO impact results achieved and compiled so far are encouraging given the technical complexity
and institutional capacity constraints faced when rolling out this first-of-kind reporting format. The
attribution and contribution impact reported in Table 1 during the reporting period and the
cumulative attribution SO impact achieved between 2017 and 2020 are best compared to the 2022
attribution impact targets in Table 2. The individual SO impact which help demonstrate how GGGI
is helping the green growth transformation of Members’ and partner’ economies are explained in
more detail below:
SO1: GGGI’s primary goal is to support development interventions that result in low GHG emission
development pathways to reduce global warming. With 69% of the 2020 projects aligned to SO1
(see Figure 4) across countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean region, the Middle
East and the Pacific, together they attribute for 102 MtCO2e of potential emissions being avoided
as well as contribute to 1532 MtCO2e to achieving the respective countries NDCs, national and
sectoral targets. Examples of such projects include the USD 9.5 million investment for the solar PV
conversion of 400 telecom towers in Colombia which will generate GHG reduction of 88,850 tCO2eq
during its project life and the USD 45 million investment for a 50MW solar PV plant in Bataan,
Philippines, which will generate GHG emissions reduction of 867,589 tCO2e during its 20 years
project life.
SO2: GGGI targets green jobs as a co-benefit of promoting economic activities to contribute to the
preservation or restoration of the environment and reducing their carbon footprint. In light of the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused massive job losses and unemployment across
the globe, the creation of green jobs is a priority focal area of support for Members’ and partners’
14 | P a g e
green economic recovery and green New Deals. With 30% of 2020 projects aligned with SO2, they
attribute for 20,000 green jobs in 2020 and contributed 530,000 green jobs to countries’ national
plans and targets. Examples of such projects include the 5-year credit guarantee lending program
for agriculture SMEs in PNG which will generate 4,483 green jobs and the USD 60 million investment
for a Cactus Green Park in Kigali, Rwanda which will generate 26,880 green jobs.
SO3: The development of renewable energy and promotion of energy efficiencies, access to improved
sanitation facilities, access to solid waste management services and access to sustainable public
transport services are all designed to mitigate climate change and avoid potential GHG emissions.
But they also generate co-benefits to the service users and beneficiaries. With 30% of 2020 projects
aligned to SO3, the reported SO attribution impact in 2020 includes 150,000 people having access
to renewable and clean sources of energy, 200,000 people benefitting from the improvement in
sanitation services, 910,000 people benefitting from improved waste management services, and
770,000 people benefitting from access to sustainable public transport. GGGI’s SO contribution
impact has also enabled a larger number of people to benefit under NDCs and national and sectoral
targets set by the governments. Examples of such projects include the Nepal green citywide inclusive
sanitation plan in Mahalaxmi City which will provide access to sanitation services for 300,000 people
and the solar PV pilot ground source pump heating system at public schools in Songinokhairkhan
District, Ulaanbaatar City, Mongolia, that will benefit 250,000 students and schools’ staff, and the
USD 60 million investment for the municipal solid waste to energy plant in Bac Ninh, Vietnam which
will benefit 684,000 people.
SO4: Although 16% of 2020 projects are aligned with SO4, their impact in terms of clean air in
urban areas and cities were excluded in the absence of a methodology that is still under development.
SO5: This concerns the supply of ecosystem services that directly relates to agriculture, land-use
change and forestry which globally accounts for 27% of total GHG emissions.3 The focus is on the
land area of deforestation avoided, re-forestation achieved and sustainable land-use in agriculture
and other land-based activities. With 14% of 2020 projects aligned with SO5, they attribute for 24
million hectares and contribute to the achievement of the countries related to NDCs, national and
sectoral targets. An example is the Colombia long-term deforestation control and sustainable forest
management policy adopted by the government which will cover 1.22 million hectares for
conservation.
SO6: This concerns the number of people supported to cope with climate change through
interventions in enhanced climate adaptation in all economic sectors covering populations exposed
to adverse impacts of climate change. With 32% of 2020 projects aligned to SO6, they attribute for
1.8 million beneficiaries under these projects. An example of such a project is the introduction of
‘green business practices’ toolkits in the Philippines to help Shared Service Facilities cooperators
move towards sustainable and climate-resilient businesses that will benefit 165,000 people and
support 305 Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
The impact calculations for completed outcomes that currently do not have the necessary information
available will be done in the future when the information is available. Both the attribution and the
contribution impact outcomes are relevant in evaluating GGGI’s work and in capturing the impact
from the organization’s interventions. The calculation of SO impact is technically complex and
challenging but good progress has been achieved in this first cycle of the SO reporting. The aim is
3 GGGI, 2020. Technical Report No. 13. Achieving Green Growth and Climate Action Post-COVID-19.
15 | P a g e
that by the end of 2022, each Member and partner country will be fully reporting its SO impact and
have its own impact pathway.
5.3 Key CRF Results Delivered in 2020
Table 3 below provides a summary of the key corporate results delivered by GGGI in 2020 against
the CRF targets.
5.3.1 Intermediate Outcome 1: developing green growth and national policy frameworks.
Under Intermediate Outcome 1 (IO1), GGGI delivered 119 advisory outputs that informed the
development of green growth policies with GGGI’s support against a target of 30 (Figure 7). These
119 advisory outputs were accrued in 29 countries. The types of advisory outputs include green
growth assessments, NDC Action Plans, climate change plans, strategic plans, green jobs assessment,
development plans, technical reports, etc. These advisory outputs once adopted will have a direct
impact on the decisions and policy actions of Members and partners to advance their green growth
agenda and goals toward project development, investment financing and implementation.

GGGI also facilitated and supported the adoption of 54 green growth policies in 15 Members against a target of 20 (see Figure 8). These Members and the number of policies they adopted include Burkina Faso (4), Cote d’Ivoire (2), Cambodia (6), the Caribbean region (1), Colombia (12), Ethiopia (1), Indonesia (11), Jordan (1), Kiribati (1), Lao PDR (1), Mozambique (1), Nepal (3), PNG (5), Uganda (4) and Tonga (1). Altogether, the number of adopted policies that GGGI facilitated between 2015 and 2020 was 152 in total against a target of 80 in the Strategy. Examples of adopted policies include the Kiribati Agriculture Strategy that aims to ensure food security and green jobs in Kiribati, the Electric Mobility Strategy of Bagmati Pradesh in Nepal which lays out goals, objectives and investment pathways, as well as associated policy provisions for Bagmati Pradesh to significantly transform and electrify its transport sector from 2020 to 2028, adoption of the Roadmap for Greening Industrial Parks in Ethiopia and adoption 8 Sub-National Development Plans for enhanced deforestation reduction and control in Colombia.

Additional results achieved under IO1 include:
• A balanced scorecard was used to measure the extent to which the 54 adopted green growth
policies were likely to lead to transformational change (in the countries concerned) under
four criteria including the alignment of the policy to the four elements of green growth,
namely: economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability and social
inclusion, whether resources were allocated for its implementation, whether arrangements
were made for its implementation, and whether it is related to specific actions or investments.
Out of a random sample of 8 Members, the average score was 4 out of a maximum score of
4. This result indicates that the adopted policies are likely to have a strong transformational
impact on the Members concerned.
• A balanced scorecard was used to measure the extent to which the 54 adopted policies are
aligned with the four elements of green growth under four criteria including whether an
or climate action and social inclusion including gender equality. Out of a random sample of
8 Members, the average score was 4 out of a maximum score of 4. This result indicates that
the adopted policies are strongly aligned with green growth and will directly progress the
Members’ green growth ambitions and transformation.
5.3.2 Intermediate Outcome 2: Catalyzing Green Growth Investments
Under Intermediate Outcome 2 (IO2), GGGI works directly with its Members and partners to catalyze
investment financing from both the public and private sectors to fund green growth projects. GGGI’s
work focuses primarily on developing NFVs to mobilize investment funds, bankable projects,
investment proposals, designing de-risking mitigation instruments, and enabling policies and
legislations which ultimately increase public sector and private sector capital flows towards the
development of green investment projects.
While it seemed challenging at the beginning, at the end of 2020, GGGI had successfully catalyzed
a cumulative total of USD 2.06 billion in green investments since 2015, up from USD 1.6 billion in
2019 (Figure 9). Since 2015, a total of 24 countries has completed a cumulative total of 70

11 projects in 9 countries, of which 39% was funded by the public sector, and 61% by the private
sector (Table 4). Although the 2020 result was below the annual target of USD 700 million, it has
continued to build upon the growing scale of cumulative green investments that GGGI has catalyzed
since 2015. Figure 9

the Indonesia USD 127 million (13%) forestry conservation and restoration project consisting of GCF
REDD results-based payment funding (79%) and private sector Landscape Finance Facility and
Lestari Capital Funding (18%). The balance is spread among the remaining 7 countries. Apart from
the above projects, the remaining 6 investment deals had values of around USD 52 million and less.
Figure 10 shows the source of the cumulative total of USD 2.06 billion in green investments by
region. Asia accounted for the largest at 46%, followed by Africa at 29% and Latin America and
the Caribbean region at 26%.
In addition, GGGI has also developed a current pipeline of green investments valued at over USD
1.05 billion. This pipeline will directly determine the scale of green investments that GGGI could
potentially catalyze in the future. For an organization that runs on an annual budget of around USD
56 million, the scale of green investments that GGGI has catalyzed represents a reasonably good
value and impact. Although, we have not been able to meet the annual investment targets in 2019
and 2020, in part because it is taking more time than expected to deliver projects through to financial
commitment, and because we are increasing the number of Members with investment projects and
the number of projects. With the present investment pipeline, we expect to see larger size deals in
the future. In addition, we have noted that GGGI was attempting to do investment projects in too
many areas which led to high costs of acquiring the necessary expertise, and very limited efficiencies
of scale. For that reason, we have introduced a limited number of programmatic solutions. We expect
to see a larger number of similar investment projects related to specific, more narrowly defined,
programmatic solutions, resulting in more efficiencies.

Source: 2020 CPRRs
Additional results under IO2 include:
• GGGI also achieved 52 completed advisory outputs that informed decisions on green growth
investments exceeding its target of 25. These advisory outputs included NFVs, bankable
projects and investment proposals. The NFVs are essential financing mechanisms established
for Members and partners with GGGI’s support to catalyze and channel green finance, grants,
and other forms of equity to designated green growth projects. Bankable projects are
20 | P a g e
projects with sufficient cash flow to cover all project-related costs as well as a reasonable
rate of return for investors. Investment proposals are usually developed for an investment
opportunity to attract potential investors.
• A key challenge in the promotion of green investments are the inherent market imperfections
that are barriers to investment. One of GGGI’s focal areas of intervention is to break down
these investment barriers and create an enabling environment for investment. This involves
determining how to create the necessary financial conditions, removing the identified
investment barriers, attracting domestic and international finance, and ultimately catalyzing
interests and commitments for investment. In this regard, GGGI in 2020 delivered 46
advisory outputs that aim to improve the enabling environment for green investments,
against a target of 10. These advisory outputs which include de-risking instruments, enabling
regulations and tax incentives aim to remove barriers to investment and improve the
feasibility of investment projects.
5.3.3. Green Climate Fund (GCF)
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has become a critical source of climate finance. GGGI has become one of GCF’s major Readiness delivery partners. GGGI assists National Designated Authorities (NDAs) in developing and implementing the Readiness Programme which aims to develop policies, strategies, and mechanisms for low-emission climate-resilient investments. The goal of the readiness work is, of course, for countries to access GCF’s climate finance. GGGI also helps to expand funding windows for developing countries to directly access GCF funds by supporting the accreditation of national entities. Currently, 28 countries have requested GGGI as a Readiness Delivery Partner, to implements readiness projects in 25 countries i.e., Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Colombia, Cote d’Ivoire, Fiji, Guyana, Indonesia, Jordan, Lao PDR, Morocco, Mongolia, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Philippines, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Uganda, and Vanuatu. Our teams on the ground have completed readiness support in 8 countries (Vanuatu, Mongolia, Thailand, Rwanda, Lao PDR, Guyana, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia). Although GGGI is not an accredited entity, we have been working with our partner governments and national accredited entities to develop funding proposals for submission to the GCF. To date, the total value of the projects supported amounts to over USD 1 billion, of which GCF contribution is over USD 600 million. In 2020, GGGI helped develop 3 funding proposals worth over USD 160 million (i.e., Indonesia REDD+ Results Based Payments for Results Period 2014-2016, Fiji AgroPhotovoltaic Project in Ovalau, and Mongolia Green Finance Corporation) that were approved by the GCF Board. GGGI has done this through technical support on concept development and/or the conduct of feasibility studies for funding proposal development.
5.3.4 Update on the status of green investment commitments catalyzed in 2017 to 2019
GGGI tracks the progress and status of the green investment commitments catalyzed with GGGI’s support from previous years, since 2017. Overall, out of the 53 green investments catalyzed, around two-thirds of the projects have progressed beyond the initial investment commitment stage to secure signed investment agreements or the disbursement stage. This shows that the majority of GGGI’s projects is progressing toward implementation after GGGI’s exit. Out of the 10 green investments catalyzed in 2017 for a total of USD 524 million, two projects have been completed, namely the Bangalore (India) Metropolitan Transport Cooperation with USD 80 million mobilized in 2019, and the USD 0.67 million seed funding for National Green Energy Fund (NGEF) provided by the
21 | P a g e
Government of Vanuatu while the Costa Rica Environmental Bank Foundation (FUNBAM) project was terminated because of a change in government policy. Out of the 21 green investments reported in 2018 valued at USD 462 million, the Senegal Rice Husk Waste to Energy Project for 3 rice mills with an installed capacity of 1.5MW, the Vanuatu NGEF financing the energy component of MFSL’s 100M Green Affordable Housing Scheme and Thailand First SME-only NEFP target at replacing Lighting, Motors and Variable Speed Drives has been cancelled. Also, in 2018, the Mozambique Solar Irrigation Systems for 150 Farms in Manica Province was completed along with the Cotco Metal Works project in Thailand. In 2019, out of the 22 projects that were catalyzed totaling USD 356 million, two projects, namely the Fiji Solar PV project in Ovalau (4.7 MW) and Indonesia Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Emission Reduction were completed while the other 19 projects are still ongoing.
5.3.5 Intermediate Outcome 3: Multi-country knowledge sharing and capacity building
Intermediate Outcome 3 (IO3) underscores the importance of both knowledge development and
sharing, and capacity building to advancing the global green growth agenda and regional and
national action of Members and partners. Our theory of change in relation to IO3 is that sharing of
knowledge, lessons and experience through capacity building, institutional relationships and
partnerships and knowledge networks will drive learning, understanding, reduce knowledge gaps
and ultimately spur action on green growth. This highlights GGGI’s strategic role as a broker of
green growth knowledge and learning between countries and regional integration organizations.
In 2020, GGGI delivered 198 capacity building activities benefiting a total of 42,415 participants
including government officials and partner and stakeholder representatives in Member and partner
countries and regional integrational organizations (Figure 11). It is noted that the numbers of
participants were significantly higher in 2020 compared to 2019 although the number of events
was fewer because most of them were organized virtually, allowing more people to participate. Online
events allow more people to join in which increases event attendance and participation. Examples of
capacity building activities include training events, workshops, seminars, study tours and on-the-job
mentoring. Based on the evaluation feedback, the participants benefited from knowledge transfer
and skills development which enhanced Members’ and partners’ capacity to develop green growth
policies, investments and improve project implementation. Ultimately, this will help the countries
develop and sustain their capacities to manage their own green growth transformation and
sustainability. Figure 11

The primary purpose of knowledge development and sharing is to build the capacity of partner
governments and local agents to support the development and implementation of green growth
policies and investments. In 2020, GGGI delivered 155 knowledge products against a target of 70.
Examples of knowledge products delivered include publications (such as the GGGI Technical Report
No. 13: Achieving Green Growth and Climate Action Post-COVID-19, GGGI Insight Brief No. 3: Green
Deals to Accelerate Climate Action Post-COVID-19, and Technical Report - Employment Assessment
of Renewable Energy: Power sector pathways compatible with NDCs and national energy plans)
training modules, toolkits, methodologies and collaboration on global knowledge platforms like
Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP).
Additional results under IO3 include:
• Approximately 27% of all capacity building activities shared experiences and lessons from
other countries.
• GGGI’s business model encourages the delivery of programs and projects on a platform of
partnerships with stakeholders other than its government counterparts. In 2020, 31 projects
brokered 59 partnerships.
• The extent to which GGGI’s capacity building activities have directly strengthened Members’
and partners’ capacity to develop and implement green growth policies and investments was
measured using a 6-point balanced scorecard with an average score of 7.1 out of a maximum
score of 10. The six criteria include skills and knowledge relevance and gain, use of
knowledge gained, alignment with country objectives in the WPB, and inclusion of
government and public sector officials.
• A 6-point balanced scorecard was used to measure the extent to which knowledge products
produced and disseminated by GGGI are aligned with the four elements of green growth and
have a quality impact. The average balance scorecard assessment for all countries was 5.6
out of a maximum score of 6.
• Two new member countries joined GGGI in 2020, Cote d’Ivoire and the Kyrgyz Republic,
increasing GGGI’s total membership to 39.
• Out of the 148 projects in 2020, 31 projects brokered 59 partnerships.
5.3.6. Gender Mainstreaming
GGGI now tracks the number of GGGI projects that have addressed the social inclusion elements of
green growth including poverty reduction, social safeguards and gender equality. In 2020, 82 out
of 148 projects reported to have addressed these elements in their design and implementation in
aiming to provide broader development benefits to their target population. Examples of projects
with gender equality initiatives include:
i. GGGI supported the Government of PNG (DFAT supported) on the CRGG project whose
broader vision is to eventually see inclusive CRGG priorities systematically mainstreamed into
regular planning, budgeting and project management systems of provincial governments. A
gender and social assessment coupled with a Gender Action Plan (GAP) was developed in
2020 which identified key entry points for mainstreaming gender-inclusive considerations
throughout the project, and potential projects for W+ certification standards. One of the
selection criteria used to determine provincial priorities was inclusion and women’s
23 | P a g e
empowerment, with the result that of the 9 identified project ideas, 3 have the potential to
create increased social and economic benefits for women.
ii. The Government of Burkina Faso through the NDC CAEP successfully incorporated gender
and social inclusion into the NDC revision processes. GGGI supported the gender and social
analysis of the NDC sectors (and gender action plan per sector), capacity building on gender
mainstreaming in the NDCs, inclusive stakeholder consultations with civil society
organizations and women’s groups, and collection of sex-disaggregated data. These inclusive
approaches have resulted in the articulation of clear gender and social targets in the country’s
NDC implementation plan.
iii. Through the Viet Nam Green Bond Readiness Program, GGGI supported the Government of
Vietnam in incorporating gender equality and social safeguards from its inception phase. In
2020, the program did a rapid gender assessment, facilitated broader stakeholder
engagement in the design of the bond and financing criteria aligning it with the country’s
gender and social policies. The social and gender considerations have been incorporated in
the country’s Corporate Green Bond Pilot Issuance, the overall regulatory framework for
green bond development, and across the project outputs.
GGGI continued making incremental steps toward the capacity to effectively manage and measure
results on gender and social inclusion by preparing its new Gender and Social Inclusion Strategy
2021-2025 and Action Plan 2021-2022. A key focus is to strengthen the application of gender
equality and poverty markers on GGGI’s programs through capacity building and appointment of
Regional GESI Focal Points. The Strategy is well aligned with the 2030 Strategy and outlines an
impact framework for GESI and linkages to GGGI’s Programmatic Solutions. Introduction of sex-
disaggregated indicator on beneficiaries of GGGI programs in its Corporate Results Framework 2021-
2022 is another important step towards enhanced impact measurements and reporting.

6.0 COVID-19 IMPACT AND RECOVERY EFFORT
This chapter is intended to report especially on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on GGGI’s
business operations, and the specific measures it took to support the green recovery plans of
Members, partners, and regional integration organizations.
The year 2020 was not a normal year for GGGI by any means. The global shock from the widespread
health, trade and socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 was unprecedented. The pandemic spread
with alarming speed, infecting millions of people and forcing a global lockdown in 120 countries,4
bringing economic activity to a near standstill as countries-imposed restrictions on cross-border and
internal movement to halt the spread of the virus. Governments have had to respond boldly to the
fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic giving priority to immediate short-term measures to contain and
reverse the public health crises, flatten the epidemic curve through border lockdowns and travel
restrictions, and implement emergency economic rescue and recovery packages to address
widespread unemployment, debt, and fiscal problems.
Since mid-2020, GGGI has supported the design and implementation of the green COVID-19
recovery plans of Members and partner countries coinciding with the green economy approach
discussed above. The COVID-19 recovery integration into the Roadmap 2021-2025 and WPB 2021-
2022 programming have enabled GGGI to achieve both the short-term objective of economic
recovery and the long-term one of economic growth that is socially inclusive and environmentally
sustainable. The diverse programs and projects range from climate smart agriculture to agri value-
chains, off grid energy, green urban infrastructure, forest restoration, digital solutions for energy
efficiency, waste management, electric mobility, smart cities, circular economy, sustainable forest and
agriculture value chain, and green tourism development. These are all supported by accelerated
access to green investments and aligned with increased climate actions to implement the NDC
commitments ensuring that the COVID-19 recovery addresses the needs of women, indigenous
populations, and the poor. Given that small and medium enterprises provide most of the
employment, particularly for lower income groups in developing countries, GGGI has developed
programs to support entrepreneurs build green businesses and create green jobs. Such programs,
called Greenpreneurs, are particularly relevant to support recovery from the pandemic, and GGGI is
implementing such programs in the Pacific and Caribbean small island developing states, with
support from Qatar Fund For Development (QFFD), as well as in a number of additional countries,
including Colombia, Philippines, and Vietnam.
GGGI supported 26 Members and partners in 2020 to revise and enhance their NDCs for
resubmission to the Paris Agreement and has prioritized supporting Members and partners to green
their recovery from the pandemic, in a manner that accelerates climate action. In July 2020, GGGI
published a report that analyzed opportunities for a green recovery5, as well as a model Green New
Deal appropriate for developing and emerging economies6. In Mexico, GGGI developed detailed
green recovery recommendations at the sub-national level for three states, published in January

In addition to the above, GGGI also developed four main tools and frameworks to support Members
and partners formulate their Green COVID-19 Recovery Plans and Green New Deals Together with
the six approaches presented in Figure 13, they form the foundation of GGGI’s growing expertise to
strengthen its position as trusted green growth advisors to our Members and partners during and
in the post-COVID era. The four tools are:
7 GGGI, CAID
26 | P a g e
i. Employment and economic analysis tool – to assess the occupations and skills requirement
at different levels of the renewable energy sector value chain.
ii. Green economy model – to generate integrated cost-benefit analysis by intervention types
such as project and policy.
iii. Marginal abatement cost analysis tool – to assess the cost of low carbon technologies and
measures per ton of carbon abated.
iv. Green growth index and simulation tool – to assess green growth performance integrating
SDG indicators and targets relevant to the four dimensions of green growth including efficient
and sustainable resource use, natural capital protection, green economic opportunities, and
social inclusion.
As widely experienced by many international development organizations around the world, the
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic also directly and indirectly challenged GGGI’s business operation
and the implementation of its programs and projects. First, the country’s environments became
difficult to do business in with the lockdowns, social distancing, curfews, and health risks. The border
lockdowns had restricted international travel for staff and limited the hire of consultants. In a lot of
instances, expatriate staff had to return to their home countries and work from a distance for
prolonged periods. GGGI’s core funding was also reduced by USD 3.9 million while there were delays
in the signing of some earmarked project agreements which delayed project implementation.
GGGI responded swiftly and efficiently to adapt and adjust its operations to address these profound
changes and plug the funding gap. GGGI had to adapt and resort to the use of digitized
communications tools and technology to maintain connectivity across the organization around the
world and with development partners to sustain programming and operations and green growth-
related development dialogue. Other key measures included strengthening project monitoring and
implementation, cutting back on staff mission travel, initiating a 5-month salary cut, write back of
staff leave provisions, freezing core funded staff recruitment and capital expenditures, and tightening
financial controls on operational expenditures. These measures not only resulted in a very strong
programmatic performance and results in 2020 as is explained in the report, but they also reduced
the operating deficit to USD 1.69 million only.

7.0 OTHER KEY RESULTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
In 2020, GGGI achieved other additional key results and achievements that fall outside the ambit of
the CRF. These key results are covered in this chapter.
7.1 Resources Mobilization
GGGI’s operations are made possible through the support of a growing number of resource partners that share the Institute’s goals and objectives. GGGI actions center on developing more sustainable, stronger, and more diversified funding for GGGI operations – including maintaining core (unrestricted) funding and prioritizing multi-year programmatic and project earmarked (restricted) contributions to enhance funding predictability.
GGGI’s core funding is provided by the Governments of Denmark, the Republic of Korea, Norway, and the United Kingdom. GGGI has also benefitted from its growing number of resource partners that provide earmarked funding for specific programs and projects. The increased flow in earmarked funding has seen a significant increase in earmarked spending from USD 9.5 million in 2015 compared to USD 23.5 million in 2020. This robust level of core and earmarked funding allows GGGI to be mission-focused on emerging areas of work – laying the foundation for the transition to GGGI’s Strategy 2030.
The trajectory of GGGI earmarked spend (Figure 13) is expected to continue in future years, with USD 79 million in new earmarked funding agreements approved in 2020, of which GGGI will implement 67.2 million. This compares with new earmarked funding agreements of USD 37.1 million in 2019 and USD 12.2 million in 2018 (taking out WGEO commitments). Notably, GGGI also entered into its first funding agreements in 2020 with Agence Française de Développement (AFD), New Zealand Aid Program, Qatar Fund for Development, and USAID.
Figure 13. Trend in new signed earmarked commitments, 2015-2020
New earmarked funding was secured for operations in 34 countries in 2020 (see Table 5), compared with 25 in 2019, 14 in 2018, 6 in 2017, 1 in 2016, and 1 in 2015.

8.0 MAXIMIZING ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY
GGGI’s ongoing efforts to improve its financial stability and strengthen its business processes are
designed to enhance its performance, effectiveness, governance and brand.
8.1 Balance between LDCs and MICs and program allocations
To enhance its presence in the LDCs that are GGGI’s members, GGGI has established 2020 targets
to allocate 50% of the core country program budget to member LDCs (see Table 7). In 2020, core
funding to LDCs was 48%, compared to 51% in 2019, showing a 3% reduction which is 2% below
target. Similarly, GGGI has established 2020 targets to allocate 87% of the core country budget to
member LDCs and MICs combined. In 2020, core funding to member LDCs and MICs increased to
95%, from 80% in 2019, and 9% above target. A recently introduced target is to allocate 60% of
the core country program budget to vulnerable countries including LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS
(UNOHRLLS definition) for which GGGI achieved 51%, which is 9% below target. The percentage of
spending on non-programmatic activities was 16% in 2020, well below the target of 21%.

N/A 84% 51% 60%
% of spending on non-programmatic activities 22% 20% 16% 21%
8.2 Business Process Improvements
GGGI has made concerted efforts to improve its business processes through the iGROW business
reform. The aim is to ensure our business model is geared towards the delivery of our intermediate
outcomes and SO impacts, enabling us to become a more nimble, flexible organization as well as to
make GGGI an attractive place to work. In 2020, some of the major actions taken include the review
and strengthening of the PCM process, including the modifying of the new PCM 2, 3 and 4 Manuals,
the piloting of the new EOY country program level results reporting that include SO impact reporting
using the Impact Pathway Approach. An iGROW survey was also undertaken to gather staff responses
to the available business processes and tools and get their feedback on usability and areas for
improvement.
8.3 Enhancing efficiency
Implementation of the WPB in 2020-2021 reflected a commitment to the efficiency of internal
support functions, particularly the performance of human resources management, legal, finance, and
facilities services in line with the reform agenda. GGGI is further strengthening the foundation for a
country-based operation business model and ability to respond to the needs of its partners, by
empowering staff in the field and those closer to the clients, to make necessary decisions on GGGI
operations. To track the performance of enhancing efficiency, GGGI has also established 2020 targets
for the percentage of spending on non-programmatic activities (see Table 7). The results for 2020
show a decrease in the percentage of total budget spending on non-programmatic activities
decreased from 20% in 2019 to 16% in 2020, coming in well below the 2020 target by 14%.
31 | P a g e
9.0 COUNTRY SCORECARDS
GGGI has for the first time GGGI has introduced Country Score Cards in its EOY results report which
are presented in this section by region, namely Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Pacific, the
Middle-East and Africa. There are 34 country scorecards altogether (when reading the scorecards,
blank spaces imply countries have not results to report or that information was not available).
These scorecards which were developed for every Member provide a snapshot of each country
programs’ including the number of projects implemented, project status and performance,
information on budget vs expenditure, SO impact estimates for both 2020 and 2017-2020
cumulative total, key CRF results including green investments mobilized, resources mobilized, and
poverty and gender markers. Unlike previous years when reporting was done at the project level, the
reporting of the 2020 results has been aggregated at the country program level focusing primarily
on outcomes and impacts drawing on the countries’ CPRRs.
The details of the countries’ SO impact contribution can be accessed through the individual CPRRs.
Not all country programs have CPRRs and for 2020, 25 of the 27 eligible country programs have
CPRRs which can be found here. The country programs that have CPRRs are based on their size and
maturity. To lessen the burden of reporting, small and mostly new country programs that have
budgets lower than USD 100,000, were excluded from submitting a CPRR in 2020. For example,
Côte d'Ivoire, Mozambique, Thailand, Sri Lanka, China, Qatar, Paraguay and the Caribbean Regional
Program were excluded but all these countries will have CPRRs and a country IPA to report their
