The networking facility focuses on cross-cutting issues and supports uptake of sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices by:
- Raising awareness of SCP practices so that public and private consumers, the general public and government institutions are better informed on, have a better understanding of and broadly adopt SCP practices;
- Building capacity in green economy modelling and assessment and related knowledge for national-level implementation and building of relevant institutions;
- Increasing awareness of opportunities for green financing and the options available to enable micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises and their financial institutions to develop relevant expertise in green investment opportunities and financing requirements;
- Building technical capacity in green product operation and maintenance, where needed.
To achieve this, the networking facility offers activities that allow stakeholders in the country to communicate and share experiences and best practices and that allow for the knowledge gained from project implementation to be distilled for application in upscaling and replication and the relevant policies to be taken up by a wide range of government actors.
