Project context, objectives and description
GGGI and MEFCC (now EFCCC) signed an MOU on CRGE Cooperation on 8 March 2016, which establishes the framework of cooperation and collaboration in the promotion of programs, research and joint activities in support of capacity building and green economic growth for Ethiopia. The MOU agreement is further reinforced by the Project Agreement made by the two Parties on the CPF (2016-2020), signed on 19th May 2016, which establishes the required working arrangements for supporting the successful implementation of CRGE, to further support green growth and to further mitigation according to the Government’s set Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). This work is grounded in the following pillars: Green growth planning; Green Investment Services; Capacity Building and Evidence-based decision-making.
This is the context in which GGGI and the Ministry of Environment Land and Sea of the Republic of Italy (IMELS) have initiated cooperation in the field of Climate Change Vulnerability, Mitigation and Adaptation in Ethiopia, formalized in a Contribution Agreement, signed on 29 September 2017. This agreement is further supported by an MOU between the MEFCC and IMELS, on Cooperation in the Field of Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change, signed 12 September 2017.
The overall objective of the project is:
- To support the GoE with identifying and promoting bankable projects and technology transfer opportunities, providing ad hoc capacity building activities in the field of renewable energy, early warning systems, sustainable agriculture and water resource management, with the aim of supporting sustainable development, local job creation and fostering international partnerships.
