The southern Mediterranean neighbourhood faces significant challenges, including high unemployment rates, bureaucratic obstacles, and vulnerability to climate change. Traditional businesses often struggle to innovate and grow. The green economy offers sustainable solutions, but its adoption is hindered by limited funding, regulatory challenges, and cultural barriers.
The Green Forward programme, funded by the European Union, aims to foster a green and circular economy in the Southern Neighbourhood region, encompassing countries in the Middle East and North Africa. It is designed to strengthen the capacity of business support organisations (BSOs) to act as key ecosystem enablers, bridging the gap between policy and SME levels. This initiative is committed to fostering sustainable economic growth and innovation through comprehensive support and collaboration, promoting an inclusive green economy.
The programme is implemented in partnership with key local and international stakeholders, including governmental bodies, non-governmental organisations, and private sector partners. Collaborative efforts ensure the comprehensive support and scalability of the programme’s initiatives.
