Supporting the achievement of Peru's climate goals and promoting the sustainable use of biodiversity and forest resources:
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH will assist the Government of Peru in reaching these goals by strengthening technical capacities, supporting the implementation of national strategies, and promoting the mobilization and effective allocation of financial resources toward these objectives.
The planned activities will be implemented through two projects mandated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ): i) Coordination of the Peruvian-German Climate Alliance and Climate Finance (CAPAC, 04/2024-04/2028), and ii) Protection and Sustainable Use of Forests and Biodiversity in the Amazon Region (ProAmbiente, 09/2025-08/2028)
The project CAPAC aims to reinforce the operational effectiveness of Peru's regulatory and institutional framework, along with its coordination, planning, and financing mechanisms, as well as the capacities and competencies of key actors in climate governance, in order to improve the implementation of mitigation and adaptation measures under its NDC measures.
The project CAPAC advises the relevant sectoral ministries on how they can update, implement and monitor the adaptation and mitigation measures in their areas of responsibility while simultaneously supporting interministerial coordination. Additionally, the project improves cooperation between the Ministries of Environment and Finance as well as regulatory conditions to make available private and public funding for implementing mitigation and adaptation measures.
The project CAPAC has three components, all of which are relevant for this consultancy:
1. Technical Secretariat of the Peruvian-German Climate Partnership. The objective is to strengthen the Secretariat"s capacity to more effectively support the Peruvian-German Climate Partnership.
2. Strengthening Comprehensive Climate Change Management: strengthening climate governance and the implementation of the NDC.
3. Implementation of the Climate Financing Strategy: Strengthen technical capacities to channel and mobilize public or private, national or international financial resources for the implementation of the NDC.
The project CAPAC targets officials and decision-makers from relevant government institutions and the private sector, as well as other actors in national climate governance.
The project ProAmbiente aims to improve the responsible use and protection of tropical forests and their biodiversity including financing mechanisms in the Peruvian Amazonia.
In four Peruvian Amazon regions, the project supports multi-actor platforms that involve all key stakeholders in forest management and nature conservation measures. It contributes to sustainable forest use by indigenous communities and promotes environmentally friendly coffee and cocoa production, as well as local conservation efforts. Products such as timber, coffee and cocoa should no longer lead to deforestation and the use of digital tools will make traceability and verification easier. The project also promotes access to financing for responsible business models which will improve local living conditions.
The project ProAmbiente has four outputs, of which the following is relevant in this context:
Capacities to access public and private financing for stakeholders with businesses/economic units that promote the sustainable use of forests and biodiversity.
The project ProAmbiente targets officials and decision-makers from relevant national and subnational government institutions, value chains and producer associations and the private sector, as well as other actors in forest management and biodiversity conservation.
