PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC) created the GREENPYME technical assistance program to provide advisory services to companies, such as training and energy audits, in order to help increase their competitiveness by reducing their energy costs.
GREENPYME helps companies to improve their energy efficiency (EE) and invites them to use low carbon energy sources. The IIC works together with financial institutions and associates at local level, in order to reduce some of the main barriers preventing the sustainable development of companies and, in the long term, to contribute with the mitigation of climate change. GREENPYME has been designed to deal with the main barriers preventing investments in EE measures in companies, such as: (1) lack of information and awareness; (2) lack of capacity or poor capacity; (3) shortage of financing; (4) insufficient availability of products and technologies.
Upon the completion of Round 1 of the GREENPYME Bolivia Program launched in four cities (La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz and Tarija) in 2012, the IIC is starting Round 2, where participating companies will be offered, among others, training workshops intended to benefit the end user of energy audits as well as to raise awareness about EE issues.
