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.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) are implementing a technical assistance project funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), entitled “Strengthening the National Designated Authority, Direct Access Entity Candidate, Country Programming Process and Development of Strategic Frameworks for Low-Carbon Development in Paraguay.” This initiative seeks to strengthen Paraguay’s capacity to access, manage and coordinate GCF resources, track climate finance flows, integrate climate action into planning and budgeting, and catalyze private sector investment in climate change mitigation.
Key objectives include:

• Strengthening the capacity of the MEF as Paraguay’s National Designated Authority (NDA) to effectively coordinate and manage GCF financing and track climate finance flows.
• Supporting AFD’s accreditation process to meet GCF standards and criteria.
• Operationalizing the Green Taxonomy of Paraguay, providing clear definitions for green assets and investments, and fostering transparency and investor confidence.
• Integrating climate indicators and targets into Paraguay’s National Development Plan 2050, including a strategy to promote the creation of green jobs and sustainable economic growth.

Within this framework, GGGI, in coordination with the MEF, is promoting capacity building for climate finance tracking through the development of a Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) System designed to integrate and process information from various institutional sources and to support the traceability, analysis and visualization of climate finance-related flows and actions.

The proposed governance model envisages a significant role for the General Directorate of Information Technology and Communications (DGIC) in the system’s technological components. Accordingly, the consultancy shall ensure that the solution can be technically received, operated and maintained within the institutional environment, without transferring to the DGIC functional responsibilities for data methodology, quality or approval, which shall remain with the competent areas of the Vice Ministry of Economy and Planning (VEP) and with the data source owners.

OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The Senior Systems Analyst / MRV Implementation and Integration Specialist will provide specialized technical assistance to the MEF during the implementation, integration, testing, go-live and handover of the MRV System, acting as liaison between the functional areas, the DGIC and the development firm, and ensuring that requirements, interfaces, documentation and technological components comply with applicable institutional standards.
The general objectives of the consultancy are:

• To provide technical coordination among the functional areas, the DGIC, data owners and the development firm, and to manage the functional and non-functional requirements of the MRV System.
• To map source systems, data and interfaces, and document interoperability needs with MEF systems and other authorized sources.
• To review with the DGIC the solution architecture, security requirements and the development, testing and production environments.
• To coordinate integration testing and user acceptance testing (UAT), go-live and the initial stabilization period of the system.
• To ensure documentation and knowledge transfer to MEF teams, and to assess the operational sustainability conditions of the MRV System.

DELIVERABLES AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE

The Senior Systems Analyst / MRV Implementation and Integration Specialist will report to the GGGI Project Manager and to the MEF/VEP Focal Point. For all aspects of architecture, interoperability, security, infrastructure, environments and go-live, they will coordinate technically with the MEF’s General Directorate of Information Technology and Communications (DGIC).
