GED relates to a development that foremost applies strategies that consider the reduction of carbon emission and pollution, reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.
The GED program builds upon the four-year-long cooperation between DTI-ROG and the GIZ ProGED Project. The program aims to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs by helping them adopt climate-smart, environmental-friendly, and inclusive strategies and measures by aligning with the green value chain approach to identify hotspots for greening.
Greening refers to the use of processes, business practices, and technologies to improve the efficiency in the use of power, water and resources, reduce adverse impacts on the environment, improve solid and wastewater management, reduce water and air pollution, reduce climate-related risks, and produce green products and services.
The DTI may offer the following:
- Conduct of GED learning and sensitization events
