Project Description

The project establishes a Cleaner Production (CP) Facility to provide funding and global support to build local capacity for seven regional CP programs, each implemented and managed by a regional team responsible for its own target and strategy. The Facility 1) assists the regions in ramping up CP Advisory Services activities; 2) supports regional efforts to build CP capacity, with a target of two regions by end of FY10; and 3) creates a Knowledge Management base that will accelerate knowledge transfer between HQ and the regions, promote the business case for CP among real sector clients across regions and industries, and scale up CP delivery through local financial institutions. Objectives for the regional CP programs include: 1) encouragement of current and future IFC clients to undertake CP audits; 2) replication of CP practices and projects among other industry players, creating a scale effect across industrial sectors and improving local standards; and 3) creation of investment opportunities for IFC in the climate-change area.
