Technical Assistance for Green Value Chain<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In Morocco, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) account for 95% of companies, 40% of production, and 46% of employment, but only 20% of GDP and 30% of exports.<\/p>\n

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with donor support has established the Green Value Chain (GVC), a \u20ac90 million credit line to local Private Financial Institutions (PFIs) to on-lend to Moroccan SMEs operating in value chains to invest in high-performing equipment that integrates energy, water, and resource efficiency.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the GVC Facility supports local SMEs to:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tMove from low value-added to high value-added production in terms of know-how and skills;<\/p>\n

\u2022\tLink to more advanced aggregators for more competitive and increasingly export-oriented value chains.<\/p>\n

ACS is a partner to DAI on the Facility and provides technical assistance to banks and sub-borrowers to finance their projects and estimate their potential impact in terms of energy efficiency, water use, and waste recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
