Since 2014, GGGI has supported the DNP in its goal to advance a green growth vision and transition plan for Colombia that can support the achievement of climate goals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). GGGI has been instrumental in the development of several energy sector initiatives aimed at promoting renewable energy and energy access. One of the key aspects of GGGI's green growth policy in the energy sector is the development of a sustainable energy policy framework and the promotion of renewable energy projects. Since 2020, GGGI has supported MinEnergia, the Institute for Planning and Promotion of Energy Solutions for Non-Interconnected Areas (IPSE) and selected private sector developers to advance Colombia's energy transition and provide sustainable and affordable energy solutions to vulnerable rural communities and households. This technical assistance was funded by the UK Government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy through the UKPACT program. In May 2024, GGGI was awarded by the Mitigation Action Facility Fund to develop the detailed project preparation of the "Sustainable Power and Resilience for Colombia's Energy Communities" project. This initiative, currently in the detailed project preparation phase, is funded by the Mitigation Action Facility Fund (MAF, formerly the Nama Facility) and focuses on capacity building and the development of financial instruments for small-scale distributed energy systems called Energy Communities. **OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT**: GGGI seeks to recruit a knowledge-sharing and capacity building consultant to ensure that all capacity building products of the Energy Communities project are designed in a clear and objective manner for specific target audiences.
