INDUS POLLUTION PREVENTION

closed

The objective of the Industrial Pollution Prevention Project is to assist in the implementation of the government's policy on pollution abatement and promote cost-effective pollution abatement from industrial sources. The project will focus on the most polluting industrial sectors, and comprises three components: (a) an institutional component; (b) an investment component; and (c) a technical assistance component. The institutional component is designed to support a program of strengthening of the State Pollution Control Boards. The investment component is designed to support subprojects by individual firms for pollution abatement, with a focus on waste minimization, and adoption of cleaner methods of production. The technical assistance component is designed to support: (i) the establishment of a clean technology institutional network; (ii) extension services for the identification of waste minimization and abatement methods for small scale industry; (iii) preinvestment studies; and (iv) finance for other training and consulting services, including the training requirements for the preparation of environmental statements by industries.
