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.
One of CAID’s projects that aims to support knowledge sharing is the Green Growth Performance Measurement (GGPM) Project. The GGPM has two interlinked components – the Green Growth Index and the Simulation Tool. This consultancy is related to both Index and Tool. The Simulation Tool is designed to allow users to enhance their knowledge of how countries’ green growth performance can be influenced by different policy options within these dimensions. The Green Growth Index and Simulation Tool are integrated approaches, so the validity of the underlying models and assumptions of the latter depends on the policy relevance of indicators that frame the former. The Index serves to benchmark countries’ green growth performance through a common set of variables based on publicly available and credible data. Because the Index is based on a robust sustainability framework, it can highlight achievements of many relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are linked to green growth. For more information on the Green Growth Index, visit http://greengrowthindex.gggi.org/.
The consultant’s assignment will include various tasks that will contribute to the successful and timely delivery of the outputs of the GGPM in 2025, which include:
1. Assess the similarities and differences among indicators on the following three aspects: definitions, frameworks, methods, and design/review processes of existing, green-related global indices. The assessment framework will be guided by this GGPM working paper: https://greengrowthindex.gggi.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/GGPM-Working-Paper_No.-3-May-2020.pdf
2. Assess the frequency of using SDG indicators in green-related global indices and the purpose of this focus.
3. Assess the frequency of reviewing and updating the indicator framework green-related global indices.
4. Draft a report for the above-mentioned assessments.
This is an individual consultancy assignment to support the GGPM team in GGGI headquarters in preparing the technical reports and articles on the Green Growth Index and Simulation Tool.
The assignments will be completed, and the final outcomes will be delivered to the GGGI as follows. Payment will be made upon the completion of all deliverables (in no particular order).
