INTRODUCTION :
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 a 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 private sector to help build economies that grow strongly and are more efficient and sustainable in the use of natural resources, less carbon intensive, and more resilient to climate change.
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.
The organization also focuses on knowledge development and management activities which build a strong theoretical and empirical basis for green growth, while providing concrete options and guidance for policymakers; as well as building the conditions for public and private green infrastructure investments.

The Republic of Senegal became a member of the GGGI in 2014.
Since 2016, the GGGI supports the Government of Senegal in its transition to green growth through its dedicated country program.
Over the past years, the Senegal country program has expanded rapidly in areas of climate smart agriculture, secondary green cities development, climate policy and carbon finance.
In 2021, GGGI signed three grant agreements for projects entitled:

Fast-tracking investment in nature for the green recovery of Senegal: designing and operationalizing the Green PSE (2021-2022), funded by the MAVA Foundation.
Designing Policy Approaches Under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (2021-2022), funded by the Ministry of Climate change of the Kingdom of Norway.
Empowering local non-state actors and vulnerable communities for climate action and resilience (2021) funded by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa.
