In 1999, UNEP started a four-year project aiming at increasing investments in Cleaner Production in developing countries. The project demonstrates how such investments can be stimulated by helping financial institutions understand the importance of Cleaner Production and helping Cleaner Production experts develop creditworthy investment proposals.

The Project's Web Site offers:

• Information: Providing and encouraging world-wide exchange of information and knowledge on the challenges and opportunities, as well as on the main actors in financing Cleaner Production investments.
  
  
• Links: Forging alliances with Financial Institutions, Organisations and research institutions promoting Cleaner Production investments.
  
  
• Investment Window: Featuring Success Stories and Investment Opportunities.
  
  
• Training and Tools: Enhancing skills and knowledge with the support of top-level international expert partners.
