The EBRD launched the programmme “EBRD Green Cities” (https://www.ebrdgreencities.com/) in late 2016 with the mission to build a better and more sustainable future for cities and their residents. The programme achieves this by identifying, prioritising and connecting cities’ environmental challenges with sustainable infrastructure investments and policy measures.

This Programme aims at promoting youth entrepreneurship and enhancing youth participation across the region through a holistic approach reflecting the multi-faceted challenges of young people, and including two interlinked components, i.e. access to finance and access to know-how. Advisory services in the form of consultants, e-learning and training, all with a view to fostering youth entrepreneurship and financial inclusion in the region will be provided.
