MONGOLIA: DEVELOPMENT OF BEE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR PRIVATE STAKEHOLDERS

INTRODUCTION TO GGGI

The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Global Green Growth Institute (“GGGI”) was established as an international intergovernmental organization in 2012 at the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. GGGI is dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. GGGI Members currently include Angola, Australia, Bahrain, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Denmark, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Guyana, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kiribati, Kyrgyz Republic, Lao PDR, Mexico, Mongolia, Nicaragua, Norway, Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Qatar, Republic of Korea, Rwanda, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Uganda, United Arab Emirates (UAE), United Kingdom (UK), Uzbekistan, Vanuatu and Viet Nam, and it is in the process of expanding its membership. GGGI works with partners in the public and private sector in developing and emerging countries around the world to transform their economies into a green growth model. GGGI has started supporting several countries to green their COVID-19 recovery plans and develop their Green New Deals to build back better while advocating for NetZero pledge. GGGI has its headquarters in Seoul, Republic of Korea, and conducts operations in several countries in Asia, the Pacific, Latin America, Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

MONGOLIA – COUNTRY CONTEXT

GGGI and the Government of Mongolia formally initiated cooperation in November 2011 through the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism. In June 2013, Mongolia began the process of becoming a GGGI Member country, and its membership came into full force in July 2014. From 2012 to 2014, GGGI provided technical assistance in the areas of public transportation assessment, energy systems analysis, and national green development planning. Building upon this work, GGGI and the GoM initiated several projects supporting the implementation of the country’s green development priorities and contributions to climate action—particularly in the fields of renewable energy, energy efficiency, public and residential building design, climate policy and climate finance.

GGGI works in cooperation with Ministry of Construction and Urban Development (MCUD), Mayor’s Office of Ulaanbaatar City (MUB) on base of a grant agreement from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for the Implementation phase 1 of the “Energy Performance Contracting for Residential Retrofitting in Ulaanbaatar City” project (the Project) financed by the Mitigation Action Facility (MAF), formerly NAMA Facility.

GIZ is implementing the Project developed by GGGI in cooperation with the Mayor’s Office of Ulaanbaatar City, ICLEI – East Asia Government for Local Sustainable Development, and the GIZ. The Project is led by the GIZ while GGGI provides support during the implementation phase 1 of the Project.

The Project envisions transforming the residential building sector in Mongolia to be energy efficient and facilitating implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. It is designed to jump-start a large-scale thermo-technical retrofitting (TTR) program and create the market conditions to scale up investments in energy efficiency. The Project consists of technical cooperation (TC) and financial cooperation (FC) to break the deadlock of financing Mongolia’s residential building energy efficiency. The FC component introduces the Building Energy Efficiency Facility (BEEF) with a revolving nature to mobilize funding from public and private sectors and scale up the residential retrofitting. Within the scope of the Project, at least 150 precast building blocks will be retrofitted, and a revolving BEEF will be established to help cover the upfront costs of the TTR and mobilize funding from both the public and private sectors to scale up retrofitting. TC will be a crosscutting component to facilitate the FC and transform the sector.

The technical and financial assistance under project will help to build up the institutional and technical capacities of key stakeholders (such as MCUD, MUB, Housing and public utilities of Ulaanbaatar city (OSNAAUG), Homeowners Associations (HOA), Construction companies etc.) regarding the building energy efficiency. There are institutional and technical deficiencies in terms of preparation and implementation of TTR measures.

The TC activities are targeting the following objectives:

  1. Support in development and adoption of policies that enable investments for energy efficiency including tariff reforms: The existing legal and regulatory framework remains vague and not consistent across the board. Policies and the legal environment need to be further enhanced to prevent conflicting clauses and most importantly expressly define and include incentive mechanisms for promoting energy efficiency.
  2. Building institutional and technical capacity of public and private sector stakeholders: Mongolia has reasonable policies for climate change mitigation and energy efficiency but lacks in implementation. This is largely due to a lack of institutional and technical capacity.
  3. Public awareness and education: The regulatory reforms and shifts are meaningful only if the residents are aware of the rationale, accept the shifts, and voluntarily implement them. The energy demand of the residents largely depends on the awareness and shift in behavior/habits of the residents.
  4. TTR: Implement refurbishment work of at least 135 residential panel building blocks.
  5. Post Project: In addition to benefits of the TTR to residents, the TC component will aim at transformational changes in the policy environment, institutional capacity, and public awareness. The project’s TC and TA components target revision and adoption of three laws and capacity building of key stakeholders.

In Implementation Phase 1, the groundwork of the project will be laid to achieve five different Outputs of the Project. One of them (Output2) is the development of capacity building programs on building energy efficiency for key public and private stakeholders of the Project.

For this reason, two separate capacity needs assessments were conducted in June-July 2023 for key public and private stakeholders of the project to identify the capacity gaps and to provide recommendations for developing of a training program to be implemented in the Phase 2 of the Project.

Based on the capacity needs assessments two training programs should be developed separately, one for the public, another for private stakeholders. This ToR is for the development of a capacity building training program for private stakeholders (see Annex 1).

For this purpose, an individual Consultant will be assigned with the following responsibilities and tasks.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The objective of this assignment is to develop a training program for the private stakeholders focusing on building energy efficiency. The details of the training program to be developed are provided in Annex 2 (10 training modules).

The Consultant is expected to conduct all requisite activities in consultation with the GGGI/GIZ team.

DELIVERABLES AND WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

The consultant shall be responsible for all outputs and activities described in the ToR. The assignment is expected to start on Sep 27, 2023.

The Consultant will be responsible for the following:

  • Develop a training program according to the training modules and topics described in Annex2. The lessons have to be developed with required presentations and handouts. Depending on the volume, each topic should be designed to be taught for 45 to 90 minutes.
  • For the practical training for construction workers develop a skills-based training course with the aim to improve the knowledge and skills to perform energy efficiency improvements on new and existing buildings on high quality standard.
  • Develop training tests for classroom and practical trainings to test the knowledge and practical skills acquired after the training. Depending on the volume at least 7 to maximum 13 tests should be elaborated for each topic or technological steps. Each test question shall have at least three answer options.
