PROJECT BACKGROUND
Based in Seoul, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is an intergovernmental organization founded to support and promote a model of economic growth known as “green growth,” which targets key aspects of economic performance such as poverty reduction, job creation, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. GGGI works with countries around the world, building their capacity and working collaboratively on green growth policies that can impact the lives of millions. The organization partners with countries, multilateral institutions, government bodies, and the private sector to help build economies that grow strongly, more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon-intensive, and more resilient to climate change. GGGI supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams that deliver comprehensive products designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans.
GGGI has a diverse portfolio of programs in developing countries around the world. These in-country programs, together with global products and services, focus on delivering results through an integrated approach of evidence-based green growth planning and implementation aligned to countries development priorities.
As part of the implementation of the Peruvian NDC targets and Adaptation Plan, GGGI will provide technical assistance to Profonanpe to develop a concept note for an adaptation project/programme.
PROFONANPE implemented the Coastal Marine Adaptation Fund project executed in the cities of Huacho (Lima) and Máncora (Piura), directly reducing the vulnerabilities of 700 people (20% women), from small fishing communities by adopting sustainable fishing practices, diversifying livelihoods, enhancing food security and increasing revenue per ton sold. Likewise, the program allowed the acquisition of Climate-Resilient Fisheries technologies, reinforcing the gender approach in the fishing sector and its involvement in new sources of income associated with artisanal fishing-related entrepreneurship and development of educational frameworks through the ‘Resilient Fishing program’, among others.
This process will take two stages. The first stage will prepare technical inputs to advance in the definition and development of information required for the concept note including development of technical studies and workshops with key stakeholders and the second stage will undertake a prioritized pre-feasibility study and fully develop the concept note of the adaptation project. A consultant will be required to conduce the Activities of the Project and finalize in the preparation of the Concept Note in coordination with GGGI and Profonanpe.
The project components preliminary are:
1. Desing of the Artisanal Fishing entrepreneurship catalytic facility
Working in partnership with PROFONANPE, along with key government Ministries and existing private sector networks, GGGI will design the “Artisanal Fishing entrepreneurship catalytic facility” an incubation and acceleration program to accelerate innovation and enhance entrepreneurship with particular emphasis on artisanal fishing and women- and youth- led enterprises.
The initiative will provide support to entrepreneurs and startups in different stages of growth. For artisanal fishing entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses, the initiative will offer an incubator program. It will provide initial training in key entrepreneurial skills needed to take a business idea to fruition, including the already implemented model of biofertilizer productivity models from fishing waste, tourism, marketing, and traceability in the artisanal fishing value chain for prioritized areas.
Through an ongoing mentoring program, those businesses keen to progress innovative ideas will be supported along their journey to making their ideas a reality. For existing artisanal fishing enterprises to scale up their operations or expand into a new phase or growth area, an accelerator program will be offered to provide technical assistance and seed capital grant funding on a demand-driven basis to the facility to crowd in private investments as well as matchmaking with investors looking to invest in their sector.
2. Strengthen sustainable fishing ecosystem practices, institutional capacities and regulatory frameworks
Building capacities and tools to promote the (i) implementation of EWS, both at the level of strengthening the institutions capacities and technology that collect and process oceanographic information and strengthening local capacities in the prioritized sites, (ii) replicate and strength adaptation measures (in areas with high levels of artisanal fishing activity), (iii) Incorporate climate change adaptation measures into state management instruments, such as budgetary programs and sectoral strategies, (iv) promote sustainable fishing gear regulatory changes including the regulations that allow mixed sustainable activities such ecotourism, fishing waste.
Therefore, this assignment has three specific Activities:
-
Conduct field studies and 2 consultation workshops with key stakeholders to identify areas of intervention, verify beneficiaries’ vulnerabilities and validate proposed interventions.
