The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) champions sustainable development by promoting green growth strategies that integrate economic, environmental, and social goals. It provides technical expertise and policy support to governments and businesses, focusing on fostering low-carbon, resource-efficient economic models. Through its projects and partnerships, GGGI seeks to drive transformational change that balances economic advancement with ecological preservation and resilience.
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.

Since 2019, the Colombian Government and GGGI have been supporting the development of the bioeconomy sector and the implementation of the long-term Green Growth Policy (GGP).
This has been achieved via technical interventions such as the development of:
Such experience can be summarised in the development of 3 tools: i) the Accelerator Mechanism for Bioeconomy Businesses (MAPBIO), ii) the Open Innovation Challenge, and iii) the Bioeconomy Taskforce.
It took a 5-year journey to improve the design of these three critical tools for developing Colombia’s bioeconomy sector.
This learning curve represented a significant investment in research, hands-on learning, thoughtful design, and rigorous validation through practical application. Sharing this unique experience and lessons learned represents an essential chance for other countries to adapt lessons learned by the Colombia country program while saving investment in time and money in the design of bioeconomy interventions.
Bioeconomy is gaining international attention from donors, investors, and politicians. Now, it is easier to hear about the necessity of promoting bioeconomy Indigenous alternatives for Brazilian communities to maintain the Amazon Forest.
GGGI can contribute to the acceleration of bioeconomy workstreams around different countries. However, there is currently no established portfolio of programs in this area, especially in LAC and Africa, where there is an opportunity window to develop the bioeconomy sector due to its natural capital, research capabilities, rural community engagement, and donor willingness to work in those regions.
After GGGI’s spring meeting of 2024, there is a recognized need to create a flagship publication based on the expertise of GGGI Colombia, which aims to disseminate the tools, lessons learned, and recommendations that have been produced to support the effective development of bioeconomy projects.
GGGI will gather all the technical-knowledge documents generated over the experience of providing technical support to the government.
For example, the 25 high-added value bioproducts accelerated by MAPBIO and the Open Innovation Challenges or the series of recommendations for interinstitutional articulation made by the bioeconomy taskforce initiative.
GGGI Colombia will also review bioeconomy research papers and other international cooperation programs that support the development of the bioeconomy sector, generating an updated publication that includes the latest main findings.
In addition, we will conduct interviews with significant individuals who were involved in the program to get knowledge and insights regarding the outcomes and valuable insights received (MAPBIO beneficiaries, task force ministries representatives, and universities, among others).
The flagship will contain the following sections (subject to be modified):
To present the insights of the report and receive feedback, GGGI (together with LAC/Colombian representatives) will present the results and methodologies developed at the Global Bioeconomy Summit 2024, that will take place in Nairobi, Kenya.
During the workshop, GGGI will screen activities, interests, and opportunities for bioeconomy initiatives in prioritized countries from the Latin American / the Caribbean – LAC, African, and Middle East and Northern Africa – MENA regions, to propose programs, mechanisms, and tools.
Additionally, it will create a comprehensive list of funding sources, partners, and stakeholders to implement bioeconomy projects in these countries. Failure to pursue this technical intervention wastes the accumulated knowledge and resources earned through years of effort and exposes countries to obstacles while learning by doing.
GGGI seeks to recruit a bioeconomy flagship consultant to support GGGI Colombia team to gather and analyze relevant documents, lessons learned and good practices, identify key stakeholders, prioritize and conduct interviews, and organize information in a comprehensive manner in order to support the Colombia Team in writing the flagship publication.
