ETI score: 62
The proposed Loan will contribute to the Green and Inclusive TI qualities. The G&G Initiative will enhance the Green TI quality by increasing investments in GET-eligible technologies by local companies, thereby fostering the development of a green, low-carbon economy in the South-west and Pelagonia regions, and supporting the regions' decarbonisation efforts by facilitating the transition away from coal-powered energy production. Tailored advisory services to help businesses adapt and grow, acceleration programmes for start ups, and targeted training programs specific for up-skilling and reskilling of the affected local population, including women and youth will support Inclusive TI quality.
