The primary objective of this consultancy is to analyze how Colombia can scale its EIP program by reviewing its legal, regulatory, and institutional readiness to support the scale-up of EIPs across the country and to assess the potential growth in the market for EIP and their technologies. This includes assessing whether existing policies and governance mechanisms enable or hinder the adoption of good practice measures in line with national and international EIP frameworks. The analysis should identify practical recommendations for closing policy and institutional gaps, enhancing inter-agency coordination, and supporting industrial parks and their tenants in achieving sustainability and competitiveness objectives. It would also identify financing options and highlight the benefits and costs for converting to an EIP for greenfield and brownfield EIPs.
