Emad Hassan, Project Manager of the Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), said the program seeks to offer sustainable financing to customers via banks through a carbon emission reduction mechanism in addition to assessing the achievements realized by the beneficiaries.
