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 supports stakeholders through complementary and integrated workstreams – Green Growth Planning & Implementation and Knowledge Solutions – that deliver comprehensive products designed to assist in developing, financing, and mainstreaming green growth in national economic development plans.

The Guyana-Norway partnership of 2009, and the establishment of the GRIF in 2010, were part of an ambitious exercise to advance Guyana’s low carbon development plan (the Low Carbon Development Strategy, which was released in 2009, and updated in 2011 and 2013), and to maintain Guyana’s extremely low rate of deforestation. GGGI has partnered with the Government of Guyana (GoG) and the Government of Norway (GoN) to provide administrative support to the Guyana-Norway Partnership. GGGI will work to: (i) improve monitoring and reporting of Guyana-Norway Partnership projects and activities; (ii) support GRIF Committees and stakeholders to fulfil their roles and responsibilities; and (iii) improve access to information on GRIF activities.
