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.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
GGGI Cambodia implements a country program that provides policy and investment advice to national counterparts in the field of waste and wastewater management, renewable energy, sustainable finance, and green growth planning. A central area of work is the development of Cambodia’s thematic bond market. Since 2021, GGGI has provided technical support to MEF and SERC to build a credible and growing sustainable bond market. As of early 2026, firms listed on the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) have raised approximately USD 700 million in total capital across 15 corporate bond issuers and 12 equity issuers, with SERC projecting an additional USD 300 million in fundraising during 2026 (SERC, 2026). The Cambodia Sustainable Bond Accelerator (CSBA) has supported over USD 60 million in green bond issuances since its launch in 2023, with a pipeline exceeding USD 100 million as the program advances into Phase III. These gains reflect Cambodia’s growing capital market ambitions and align with the NDC 3.0 financing requirement of USD 32.2 billion for 2026–2035.
The assignment aims to provide full-time technical and coordination support to the GGGI Cambodia Country Program from June to December 2026. The consultant will support MEF and SERC in advancing thematic bond transactions and issuer readiness. The assignment also covers GCF readiness implementation, resource mobilization, and policy advisory contributions aligned with GGGI’s 2026 program priorities. Key targets include supporting a USD 200 million climate investment mobilization pipeline, maintaining a probability-weighted green investment of approximately USD 40 million, supporting the multi-year GCF readiness proposal currently under revision and clarification with GCF, and advancing CSBA consortium delivery across LOLC, SNTJ, and GAEA.
