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.

To achieve the project objectives, GGGI is seeking an Individual Consultant to:

1. Facilitate five KEF design decision workshops in a structured, inclusive and decision-oriented manner;
2. Support the KEF PSC and invited participants to effectively review and deliberate on the findings and recommendations already submitted by GGGI through the KEF analytical reports;
3. Support decision-makers to engage effectively with complex policy, legal, governance and financial design questions and associated trade-offs;
4. Ensure workshop deliberations are grounded in available evidence, project analysis and the Kiribati context;
5. Accurately document decisions, rationale, trade-offs, dependencies, and any unresolved issues arising from each workshop; and
6. Produce a final consolidated decision record to inform subsequent legal drafting, policy/manual development, and KEF operationalisation planning.

The Consultant will serve as a facilitator and process support resource only. Decision-making authority will remain with the KEF PSC (and any higher Government decision-making processes, where applicable).

The Consultant will provide the following services and outputs:
