RECP Finance Project

In this project, the NCPC-SA hosts capacity building workshops and tools to support small and medium companies (SMEs) to access finance.

Through the workshops (currently held virtually) the NCPC-SA facilitates access to funding mechanisms that support implementation of Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) – including energy efficiency, clean energy, water and input materials projects.

Some of the workshops focus on the development of business plans for projects that would be attractive to financial institutions.

• Financial institutions and government institutions attend and present at the workshops.
• SMEs have the opportunity to engage with these institutions and get advice.
• The NCPC-SA can then offer technical support to SMEs in developing bankable projects.

Interested companies need not wait for the next workshop, but can email ncpc@csir.co.za for assistance with financial linkages.
