GGPA Project

The Green Growth Potential Assessment (GGPA) is a diagnostic tool developed by GGGI and consisting of a combination of data analysis and stakeholder consultation in order to identify and prioritize a country’s opportunities for green growth. The assessment serves several purposes. First, the GGPA provides policy advice to governments based on empirical analysis, determining the priorities for potential green growth interventions. Second, the GGPA gives recommendations by which means to address the identified priorities, tailored to an individual country’s context. Third, the GGPA can also serve governments to translate international commitments, such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), into local action. Fourth, the assessment helps GGGI identify areas in which the organization will focus its work, identifying options for specific programs and projects in a given country. Finally, the GGPA serves as a communications and engagement tool. The assessment process and its results help foster interest in partner countries to engage further with GGGI.
