## Description
The Green and Inclusive Growth Centre of Expertise (GIG CoE) is intended to be one of five Economic Development Centres of Expertise (COEs) being established at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to support delivery of the UK's new International Development Strategy.
COEs will offer demand led and efficient mechanisms to access the best expertise in the UK and globally from multiple sources including from within FCDO and XHMG, to support economic development.  Consistent with commitments in the Development White Paper on locally-led development, COEs should also include local suppliers and expertise as a core part of the COE offer - potentially twinned/partnered with UK/international expertise.
COEs will deliver strategic and responsive, short- or longer-term interventions. Intervention design and delivery should be driven by well specified problems, rather than pre-designing interventions to fit all contexts. A longer term 'deep' offer will be developed with the UK's priority countries. COEs are also designed to be an interoperable portfolio response, meaning that instruments within any one COE should be easily combined and brought together, to deliver "fit for context" solutions.
As part of a renewed GIG COE offer, the FCDO is designing a new programme – UK Centre for Green and Inclusive Growth (GIG). This programme aims to build directly upon the success of the following FCDO flagship programmes which currently make up the first phase of the GIG CoE:
•	The International Growth Centre (2018-2026) 
•	Growth Gateway (2019-2026) 
•	Manufacturing Africa (2017-2026) 
•	Work and Opportunities for Women (2016-2025)
GIG will aim to contribute to inclusive and sustainable poverty reduction and enhance climate resilience by providing technical assistance to developing countries in target sectors: mainly manufacturing and services, are likely to include agri-processing, green construction materials, textiles, electric vehicle production parts and assembly, environment-friendly packaging; and the services that complement these sectors and account for much of the value-add in the supply chain (e.g. design, logistics, e-commerce, and professional services). These are areas where the UK has domestic expertise. Focusing on these sectoral drivers of green and inclusive growth in the real economy has been shown by predecessor programmes to address a market failure in overcoming the binding constraints to green and inclusive economic growth (e.g. low private sector productivity, lack of responsible business practices, lack of inclusion - particularly women’s economic empowerment). 
GIG is intended to provide world-class research, analysis and expertise on green and inclusive growth that is responsive, flexible and value for money. GIG will not work on infrastructure, trade, financial services, telecommunications, transport services or frontier tech which are covered by other Centres of Expertise underway.  It is likely that non-ODA will be de...
