Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning

**CONTEXT**:
GGGI works in the Andean Region through Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru in-country programs collaborating with governments to promote green growth policies and investments.

GGGI collaborates with the Government of Peru to scale green growth efforts through partnerships with key ministries, including the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. GGGI implements Key initiatives include the Climate Finance Strategy and Green Finance Roadmap (funded by the Green Climate Fund) and a biodiversity conservation project for the Amazon (starting in 2025, supported by UK PACT).

GGGI has been working with the Government of Colombia to advance sustainable development through collaborations with ministries like the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Treasury and Public Credit, and other key entities like Bancamia and Finagro. GGGI Colombia has significantly expanded its reach by adopting a portfolio-based approach. It works on various scales to implement Sustainable Forests, Solar PV, Climate-Resilient Agriculture, Climate Action, and Green Investments. Projects emphasize fostering public-private partnerships at both national and subnational levels. These efforts are integral to addressing climate change and promoting renewable energy and sustainable agriculture practices across the country.

In Ecuador, GGGI collaborates with the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Ecological Transition (MAATE) and the Ministry of Economy and Finance to drive climate-resilient, low-carbon development. Efforts are centered around Mobilizing Climate Finance and Private Investments and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to enhance climate action and sustainable development.

Across the Andean Region, GGGI’s activities have grown substantially, requiring systematic monitoring and reporting aligned with corporate and programmatic frameworks. Additionally, supporting the resource mobilization pipeline is critical for ensuring sustained impact and efficient implementation of projects across these countries.
