The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) invites consulting firms to submit proposals under a Master Services Agreement (MSA) to provide technical assistance, capacity building, and external review services to support prospective issuers in preparing for and executing green, sustainable, and thematic bond issuances under the Global Green Bond Initiative (GGBI) framework.
1. Workstream A — Green/sustainable bond issuance readiness

2. Workstream B — Capacity building, market awareness, and training
Training design & delivery: Assess training needs and conduct workshops, executive sessions, and webinars on institutional readiness, thematic bond issuance processes, and international market standards.
Knowledge products & peer exchange: Develop practical toolkits, technical guides, e-learning materials, and case studies, while facilitating peer-learning networks among sovereign, subnational, and public financial institution counterparts.
3. Workstream C — Post-issuance: Allocation and impact report verification
