The FC component of this project had established a fund to provide loans to manufacturers for adopting energy and resource efficiency (EE and RE) technologies at lower interest rates. By establishing business cases for cleaner production technologies, the project had intended to catalyse the development of private sector financial instruments that textile SMEs could utilise to invest in RE and EE technologies beyond the project’s duration. The TC component had aimed at improving regulations and addressing enforcement and compliance issues through capacity building and policy interventions. Capacities of ministries, textile manufacturers, green technology service providers, and the banking sector had been intended to be strengthened. Approximately 3 mio. tCO2e had been expected to be mitigated over the 5-year duration of the project. Due to the increased demand for specialized technology, the local market for industrial technologies for the textile sector had been intended to be built.
