The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is expected to be commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Economic Development and Cooperation (BMZ) to implement the bilateral technical cooperation project Sustainable Intermediate Cities II (Ciudades Intermedias Sostenibles, CIS II) in Ecuador between May 2021 and April 2024. The project"s objective is to support Ecuador in achieving measurable progress in implementing the AHSE 2036 and the urban related Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). CIS II builds on the first phase of the project, which ran until April 2021. The first project phase focused on supporting the Ecuadorian government in the elaboration of the Sustainable Habitat Agenda Ecuador (Agenda Hábitat Sostenible Ecuador, AHSE 2036), ensuring its conformity with the 2030 Agenda, the New Urban Agenda, and the Paris Agreement.
BMZ intends to extend the CIS II project until August 2026 and to integrate co-financing by the European Union (EU). Under the Team Europe Initiative (TEI), the European Union (EU) is actively supporting Ecuador in the process of "greening" its economy in the frame of the "Green Deal for Ecuador". The objective is an inclusive, sustainable and resilient economy, stimulated by innovations and investments at decentralised level. Urban settlements and developing the bankability of low carbon and climate mitigation projects - play a key role in achieving this objective.
CIS II aims at strengthening the capacities of key national and local agencies involved in the development and implementation of public policy on sustainable urban development in the framework of the New Urban Agenda (NUA), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the project aims to promote measurable progress in the implementation of sustainable urban development policies, in line with the AHSE 2036. Additionally, the project seeks to contribute to the generation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) in areas relevant to and from the actions of cities.
Key objective of the CIS II extension is to increase the capacity of municipal administrations in project preparation for sustainable urban infrastructure projects ready for financing, to enable cities to develop projects themselves and access climate finance (demand). In addition, by advising and training public banks (BDE, others) in the development of financial instruments for sustainable urban infrastructure projects, climate finance is made available to cities (supply).
Public counterparts of the CIS II project are the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (MIDUVI), the Ministry of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition (MAATE), the Ministry of Finance (MEF) and the National Development Bank (BDE), which has as the Ministry of Economy and Finance and municipal governments (GADs) as its shareholders.
Potential private sector partners are private banks that will be involved into the intervention, in particular Produbanco and Banco Procredit Ecuador, which are developing their green loan portfolio and have already expressed interest in supporting matchmaking with the private sector.
Representatives of civil society are important stakeholders to promote participatory governance at local level and to support local administrations as implementing partners, which are Decentralised Autonomous Governments (GADs) at provincial, municipal and parochial (three) levels and their representatives: AME (Ecuadorian Association of Municipalities) and CONGOPE (Consortium of Autonomous Provincial Governments of Ecuador) Universities, Middle Cities and the Private Sector.

Beschreibung der Beschaffung
The contractor is expected to implement the following work packages (WP):
1) Strengthening cities" competencies
The WP aims to strengthen capacities of cities in Ecuador to implement sustainable development infrastructure projects. This includes identifying sectors and potential projects, carrying out capacity development activities, and creating or strengthening municipal structures with the capacity to implement projects. The opening step in implementing TA (Technical Assistance) is to identify projects eligible for technical assistance. The work focuses on identifying climate change projects in several cities of Ecuador and assessing their bankability. In order to make urban infrastructure projects bankable, it is necessary to understand the specific technical gaps between current state of the projects (including project documentation) and climate change lending requirements of financial institutions. An appropriate project implementation infrastructure in a municipality with adequate mandate, financing, staffing, management and monitoring frameworks are prerequisites for effective project development. The service will provide support the creation or strengthening of a PIU in each municipality.
2) Development of the portfolio of "Climate friendly projects"
The goal of the WP is to gain clarity on the selected projects in terms of maturity, technical quality, etc. and transform them into bankable projects. In order to make urban projects bankable, it is necessary to understand the specific technical gaps between the current state of the projects (including project documentation) and financial institutions climate change requirements for lending. In addition, it is necessary to provide support and guidance in order to maximize positive climate, environmental- and social impacts of the project as well as climate action eligibility according to IFI criteria, as well as reliable data and documentation to support this claim. This will be achieved through optimal ownership and if necessary, tariff models to ensure financial and economic feasibility, as well as optimal preparation of procurement processes in line with international standards.
3) Technical assistance to financial institutions
The WP focuses on getting a clear picture of the situation of the financial sector in the country (at a local, regional and international level) in terms of climate change and urban development funding and technical assistance needed to support local banks to become green (this is to use financial resources to fund projects with positive impact towards climate change and sustainable development). In addition, the work will raise awareness among the banks on requirements and capacity development needed within the banks to provide finance to climate change projects and to access to financial sources for this purpose.
TA will be provided to BDE to create 2 financial instruments for environment friendly urban infrastructure. Using the GAP analysis as input, support will be provided to establish two financial instruments for specific priority sectors identified by the BDE in coordination with GIZ. The experiences generated will be shared with the other banks so that they can define and establish a roadmap for setting up their own financial instruments in the future.
4) Capacity Development for Support entities
The purpose is to build up capacities in Ecuadorian institutions supporting them to develop climate change projects with focus on sustainable infrastructure in urban areas and knowledge sharing tools that could feed the WP2 of knowledge management.
To ensure that municipalities have support for the identification and development of climate change projects and banks can have access to assistance for the assessment of projects or review of credit lines it is necessary to create or strengthen capacities of local institutions that could assume the role to provide technical support and capacity building on climate change and sustainable development.
To achieve the desired results, the service provider will work closely with GIZ and three institutions: the National Development Bank BDE, civil society institutions and universities.
