Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is commissioning technical support to help the Government of Peru strengthen climate governance, protect biodiversity and manage forests more sustainably, while mobilising financial resources through two linked projects on climate goals and responsible forest use.
The contract notice, published on 10th December 2025, sets out a package of support for Peru’s public institutions. According to the technical support notice, GIZ plans to assist Peru’s government in three closely connected areas:
The work will be delivered through two main projects, both centred on Peru’s climate goals and the responsible use of forests. While the notice gives only headline information, the structure indicates an integrated approach: climate policy, conservation and finance are treated as parts of the same agenda rather than separate streams of activity.
For advisers and consultancies working on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues, this points to continued demand for services that combine climate strategy with natural resource management and public finance expertise.
A notable feature of the Peruvian contract is the explicit pairing of climate governance with “sustainable biodiversity and forest resource management”. That reflects a wider shift in public procurement towards strengthening the institutions that oversee protected areas and forest landscapes, not just funding field projects.
In August 2025, a Ministry of Planning issued a prior information notice for a national consultant for wildlife evaluation. That assignment focuses on an institutional evaluation of the Congolese Agency for Wildlife and Protected Areas and co-management NGOs for four protected areas, with an emphasis on their capacity to manage environmental and wildlife laws.
This Congolese example illustrates how climate and biodiversity goals depend on the strength of specific agencies and their partners. Evaluating whether they can enforce regulations, coordinate across protected areas and work with non-governmental organisations is as important as designing new conservation projects.
The same institutional angle appears in forest restoration work. In September 2025, INTERNATIONAL CONSERVANCY invited consultants to join the World Bank-funded Amazon Sustainable Landscapes Project, with a brief to map and consolidate information on environmental restoration projects within federal conservation units.
That Brazilian-focused work underlines the demand for technical expertise in assembling reliable, comparable data on restoration efforts. Without that information, policymakers struggle to target funding, track progress or integrate biodiversity and climate plans. The Peruvian notice sits within this broader pattern: better governance of forests and biodiversity requires analytical support, institutional scrutiny and clear flows of information.
The Peruvian contract also highlights “mobilization of financial resources” as a core objective. That elevates climate finance from a separate funding stream to a central part of climate governance itself.
Other recent procurements show how strongly public bodies now link environmental outcomes with the capacity of financial institutions and local authorities.
In July 2025, the European Union, represented by the European Commission on behalf of and for the account of Honduras, published a contract notice for technical assistance for green finance. That programme aims to provide specialised, investment-oriented advisory services to state-owned development banks in Honduras, helping them promote green finance, improve operational efficiency and attract responsible private sector investment.
In November 2025, the Directorate of Financing Development in the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas in Indonesia issued a prior information notice for capacity building for sustainable financing. Consulting services there will develop and deliver training modules to enhance local governments’ ability to access sustainable financing in five Indonesian pilot cities.
Together with the Peruvian contract, these notices show public authorities and international partners focusing on three linked needs:
The Peruvian technical support, by combining climate governance, forest management and finance mobilisation, mirrors that shift. Any advisory team delivering the work will need to understand how climate strategies interact with budget processes, development banks and external funding sources.
Governance and advisory work is only one part of the picture. The Peruvian tender emerges alongside more operational investments aimed at improving how forest projects function on the ground.
In December 2025, the Prog Nacional de Conservacion de Bosques para Mitigacion del Cambio Climatico in Peru launched a contract notice for the acquisition of smartphones as part of the Integrated Forest Landscape Management Project in Ucayali, financed by a World Bank grant.
On the surface, this is a straightforward equipment purchase. But the fact that smartphones are being procured specifically for an integrated forest landscape project points to the growing use of digital tools in monitoring and managing forests, from field data collection to communication with communities and enforcement teams.
Set against this backdrop, GIZ’s technical support contract can be seen as complementary to such investments. Where the smartphone procurement equips people working in forest landscapes, the climate governance and biodiversity support aims to ensure that national policies, institutions and financing arrangements are aligned with those realities on the ground.
The details of GIZ’s Peruvian programme will become clearer once the technical support contract is awarded and the projects move into implementation. For now, the notice signals that Peru’s government and its partners are seeking support that cuts across climate governance, biodiversity and forest resource management, and the mobilisation of financial resources.
The similar notices in Congo, Brazil, Honduras, Indonesia and within Peru itself suggest that this is not an isolated case. Public bodies are commissioning a mix of institutional evaluations, data consolidation exercises, green finance advisory work and capacity-building programmes, alongside practical investments in equipment and technology for forest management.
For prospective suppliers, the direction of travel is clear: public-sector buyers are looking for teams that can bridge environmental policy, institutional strengthening and sustainable finance. For observers of climate and biodiversity policy, the Peruvian tender will be one to watch as a marker of how climate governance and forest management are being reshaped through international cooperation and targeted technical support.
