Under the GEFF II Tajikistan programme, borrowers who invest in high-performance and environmentally friendly technologies may be eligible for an investment grant. Such grant support, by partially compensating investment costs, enables businesses to modernise production, boost competitiveness, expand operations, and create new jobs, while simultaneously reducing negative impacts on the environment.
Investment grants encourage the adoption of innovative solutions, sustainable resource use, and improved product quality. Borrowers may receive a grant upon successful project completion and independent verification, provided that the project meets the programme’s eligibility criteria.
The grant amount may be up to 15% or up to 25% of the project’s investment costs — depending on the chosen technologies and the expected results contributing to climate change mitigation or adaptation. The grant is paid out following an independent assessment and verification report confirming the project’s objectives and results.
What costs are eligible for grants
Grant support is available to residents, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), for implementing investment projects that aim to improve energy efficiency, water efficiency, adopt renewable energy sources, develop a circular economy, and promote sustainable agriculture. The grant can cover both core expenses and related works or services.
Grants are not provided to suppliers and manufacturers of green technologies if they use programme loans to replenish working capital.
The grant amount is always calculated based on the lesser of two figures: the actual amount of the received loan or the total project investment costs (excluding VAT and other taxes).
The grant amount to be disbursed to the borrower is determined by an independent Verification Consultant and documented in the Verification Report. Grant eligibility and disbursement are confirmed by an independent party on behalf of the EBRD.
