This
project addresses the critical need to improve environmental practices and enterprise
management in the Jiangsu Province. Through training, technical assistance,
and advisory services, FIT is enabling Township and Village Enterprises (TVEs)
to reduce pollution and improve workplace health and safety through application
of low cost/no cost solutions. An Environmental Revolving Fund (ERF) provides
loans to enable selected TVEs to install more capital-intensive clean production
technologies. These enterprises in turn serve as demonstration plants, delivering
training and technical assistance to other area TVEs in environmental management.
Through the project, a team of local trainers and environmental specialists
has been developed to provide ongoing support. Communities in Jiangsu are benefiting
from measurable reductions in water, air and soil pollution. |
