Oiko analysed the potential for bioeconomy opportunities in Paraguay, identifying growth in selected markets for high priority value chains for the bioeconomy

The project analysed the potential for bioeconomy opportunities in Paraguay, identifying growth in selected markets for high priority value chains for the bioeconomy. Gaps in policy, institutional and financial requirements were identified in order to capitalize on the selected bioeconomy opportunities. The analysis resulted in the identification of three (3) value chains in the bioeconomy connected to the forestry sector where Paraguay could substantially increase its growth over the next 5-10 years. Based on the analysis, strategic repositioning options for Paraguay will be identified, including which segment(s) could be targeted, and the necessary investments as well as policy, regulatory and institutional changes that would be required to support the development of Paraguay’s productive capacity within the segment.

Description of actual services provided by your staff within the assignment:

  • Market analysis of the global evolution and future trend of the selected sectors.
  • Identification of Paraguay’s current global positioning.
  • Identification of more attractive, higher value-added segments that Paraguay could target.
  • Identification of policies, supporting institutions, and infrastructure that Paraguay requires (at a minimum) to compete successfully and appropriate greater value in current markets and penetrate new markets.
  • Consultations with the public and private sectors.

Development of an Implementation Plan, Financing Strategy and M&E Framework associated with the Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change in the Caribbean

The CCCCC has engaged OIKO to undertake consultation with fourteen (14) CARICOM Member States and develop an appropriate comprehensive Implementation Plan, Financing Strategy, M&E Framework and reestablishment of a RCCCC towards operationalizing the Climate Change and the Caribbean: The Revised Regional Framework.

The development process was such that the regional framework, and the deliverables of this consultancy, were considered living documents owned by a cross section of stakeholders including Governments, nonstate actors, communities. It was necessary as well for this development process, to be gender sensitive and culturally appropriate. The deliverables of this assignment were presented to the CARICOM Community Council and the Heads of Government as such should be audience appropriate.

  • Undertake a comprehensive Desk Review, execute an inception meeting, and subsequently prepare an Inception report including desk review findings, a detailed methodology, timelines and delivery milestones, stakeholder mapping and risk management strategies
  • Undertake stakeholder consultations in accordance with stakeholder mapping and consultation plan to investigate, assess, and document mitigation and adaptation measures and or actions taken by various sectors, both nationally and regionally, towards the implementation of the Revised Regional Framework.
  • Produce an Implementation Plan (IP) along with an associated Financing Strategy (FS) and a Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting Framework (MERF) aimed at operationalizing the Revised Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change (2019-2029).
  • Develop a draft Terms of Reference and an Annual Work Plan (AWP) of the RCCCC that actions the Revised Implementation Plan and updated TOR in line with existing reporting structure of the CARICOM Secretariat.
