Mission report: advisory support and capacity building to IDCOL in financing its energy efficient brick kiln projects

CCAC, UN Environment Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) and Frankfurt School of Finance & Management join hands to implement the project titled ‘Technical assistance for financing brick kiln improvements in Bangladesh’. The main objectives of the project are: 

• to provide targeted technical assistance to a small group of financial institutions (FIs) to tackle barriers to SLCP finance that will, in particular, reduce emissions of black carbon and other SLCPs, as well as air pollution, in the target country
• to create a roadmap for transition to modern brick kiln technologies.

This report contains an overview of current local brick market, policy landscape and lessons learnt during the project mission that took place in Bangladesh during October 2017.
