In Ethiopia, there is currently a big push for the rollout of industrial parks across the
country (16 parks by 2025, with 5 already completed and operational). Accordingly,
GGGI has been asked to work on greening strategies for the parks. Our industrial
parks program for 2019 has three main workstreams:

1. Design a road map for greening industrial parks (to be applied to all parks) –
policy

GGGI Ethiopia Industrial Zone 2. Design a business case for the use of industrial sludge and salt (in two GGGI Online
Development industrial parks) – bankable project

3. Design a business case for the use of solar PV (in one industrial park) –
bankable project

For projects #2 and #3, we are in the relatively early stages of project development,
confirming the technical aspects to determine the viability and scope of the business
cases.

GGGI Rwanda:

 In October 2018, GGGI participated in the 5 th Green Industry Conference organized by UNIDO and UNESCAP and also organized a side even
on “Greening Industry through Green Growth Programs”

 GGGI also participated in UNIDO’s previous Green Industry Conference, most notably the one held in Ulsan, Korea in 2016.

 UNIDO recently became the 5 th Steering Committee member of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) together with GGGI, World
Bank, OECD and UN Environment, and UNIDO’s green industry related knowledge is being transferred to GGKP’s Green Industry Platform.
 
I met with UNIDO’s Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production team back in May 2017 (in Vienna), and in Rwanda we are currently working
with one of their national centers to see whether we can work on engaging the industrial sector more in our program.   The national centers used to
be called National Cleaner Production Center (NCPC) and then changed their name to Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production Center (RECP)
and recently further rebranded their name to Cleaner Production and Climate Innovation Center (CPCIC) in Rwanda.  My understanding is that
UNIDO has “spun off” their green industry related activities to GGKP and other platforms, and is concentrating on eco-industrial parks.  
Previously, I have had limited interaction with Stephan Sicars and Nilgun Tas at UNIDO.

GGGI India
India team has held discussions with UNIDO for collaborating on industrial energy efficiency. We are also exploring the possibilities of working
on Tea sector mitigation interventions where GGGI has conducted a study.
