SPG wins 3-year mandate to support Latin American and Caribbean countries to develop their NDC Investment Plans January 2017

by Pablo Llopis Benito

Can we put together and win an IDB proposal for a three-year framework contract opportunity to finance the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) throughout Latin America?

Yes, we can!

After several litres of coffee and an awesome team effort, we successfully delivered a massive proposal (with 65 CVs and 288 budgets!), which has SPG in the lead of a consortium that includes Inclam CO2 and Lavola. The main objective of this mandate is to support Latin American and Caribbean countries to develop their NDC Investment Plans, which will be composed of potential investment projects based on prioritised sectors and targets. The project focuses on 26 countries and the following 7 sectors: transport, energy, housing, infrastructure, forestry, agriculture, and waste management. IDB has awarded this framework contract to five consortia in total, for which we have estimated a total volume of USD 3 million (the Bank has not provided information on the names of the five consortia on on the total volume and geographic distribution of available funds). The IDB financing of NDCs will be assessed through IDB’s new initiative NDC Invest.

So… Let’s NDCize LatAm!
