Child Project 1.3 (GEF ID 9691)

ENVITECC seeks to accelerate investments in wastewater treatment and POPs elimination and reduction with the aim of embedding pollution prevention and reduction techniques, technologies, and practices into the management practices of private and publicly owned businesses in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Lebanon, Montenegro, Morocco, Tunisia and Türkiye (in the case of Türkiye, only the Chemicals and Waste window will be applicable).

Child Project 1.3 is designed as an “Environmental Technology Transfer Programme” to facilitate investments in mitigating pollution mainly from point but also from non-point sources. Investments will be made in Best Available Techniques/ Best Environmental Practices through a combination of grants from the GEF and co-financing from the EBRD and, where possible, complemented with investments from other co-financiers and/or sponsors equity.
