Economic Policy and Sustainable Finance

The consultancy will cover all PAGE engagement in Guatemala on strengthening Guatemala’s green public finance framework through two complementary activities: 1.Sustainable Budgeting Approach (SBA): Effective application and contextualization of the SBA in Guatemala, contributing to national capacity-building, data readiness, and the practical integration of the SBA methodology into budgeting processes. The consultant will facilitate institutional learning and support the long-term adoption of sustainable budgeting practices by the Ministry of Public Finance and other relevant entities. 2.Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP): Design and delivery of a structured training course for public officials on SPP, providing practical tools and guidance tailored to the Guatemalan context. The course will strengthen participants’ ability to apply SPP principles through the national procurement platform, GuateCompras, and promote their integration into institutional procurement practices. Where relevant, it may also make use of UNEP’s capacity-building resources and sectoral SPP frameworks (e.g. construction, food, ICT) to illustrate concrete options for implementation and links to UNEP’s ongoing regional and global initiatives. Together, these results will advance institutional capacity, promote policy coherence, and support the mainstreaming of green public finance in Guatemala.
