The GGGI Strategy 2030 accelerates progress of GGGI country programs in poverty eradication and gender equality
through Global Operational Priority 5 (GOP5). The Corporate Results Framework (CRF) 2021-2025 captures GOP5
through Intermediate Outcome 4: “Green Growth Solutions Support Member and Partner Countries in Reducing Poverty
and Achieving Gender Equality”. This is measured by two indicators: a) number of beneficiaries assisted through GGGI’s
poverty aligned projects (by sex); and b) number of women supported through GGGI’s projects with targeted gender
interventions (by sex). Achievement of GOP5 is further supported by CRF Output 4 on gender and poverty mainstreaming,
measured by a) percentage of new projects that address poverty reduction and inclusiveness (with target 75%); and b)
percentage of new projects delivering intended gender equality results (with a target of 75%).
Aligned with the 2030 Strategy Framework, GGGI launched the Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Strategy
2021-2025 to focus attention on entry points for GESI integration in GGGI’s programmatic and internal operations.
Implementation of the Strategy is guided by biennial GESI Action Plans. A progress report was produced to conclude
implementation of the GESI Action Plan 2021-2022, which focuses on enhanced awareness of GESI requirements,
measured by an increase in application of the gender and poverty markers across GGGI’s program. However, there is
also a recognized need to focus attention on the quality of GESI integration at the GGGI by enhancing capacity across
programmatic solutions to identify GESI entry points in project design.
The GGGI Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Community of Practice (GESI COP) designed a participatory process for
development of the GESI Action Plan 2023-2024.This included all-staff and senior management surveys, and seven Focus
Group Discussions across divisions. The process helped identify success stories, gaps, needs, and barriers to effective GESI
integration across staff, management, specific regions and roles.
The GGGI continues to set high ambition for achieving our targets, improving capacities, and increasing outcomes for
gender equality and poverty eradication. The GESI COP is launching the corporate wide GGGI GESI Action Plan 2023-
2024 to commit to our level of ambition as an organization in harnessing co-benefits for a just and green transition.
