Description
The general objective of the initiative is to contribute to the energy transition and to sustainable and inclusive economic growth by promoting green business activities and employment in Lebanon. This initiative does this by: promoting the development of green businesses: precisely because the centralised energy management is unreliable and inefficient, green solutions are more promising; it is a question of supporting them in terms of better structuring, access to credit and growth. Training of the necessary skills and professional profiles: paradoxically, there are companies that are looking for employees and cannot find them, and training centres that train people who cannot find any work. The promotion of an enabling regulatory and institutional environment: in particular, policies in favour of green investments are needed (e.g. regulation of EPC-Energy Performance Contracting), in order also to foster a renewed relationship of trust at country level. The three-year initiative aims to: Raise awareness among 300 Lebanese companies on the advantages of green business and train 50 companies in the elaboration of their Green Business Plans (Result 1) Accompanying 20 companies in the implementation of their Green Business Plan, through technical, managerial, legal, networking and credit assistance with lenders in Lebanon; economic support of the project to 10 Green Business Plans according to additionality and impact criteria (Result 2) Support 3 training centres in the preparation of professional profiles needed for the development of green enterprises and in the formalisation of job placement mechanisms starting from the identification of companies’ needs of competences (Result 3) Stimulate multi-stakeholder dialogue and the proposal of 3 guidelines for the improvement of policies in the areas of energy transition, business development and job placement (Result 4)
