The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) allocated sovereign loan to Georgia of up to EUR 3.03 million represents an increase in financing under the existing project GrCF – Tbilisi Solid Waste Project (Original Project), BM.GE reported.

The incremental loan proceeds are to be used for a wider upgrade of the leachate system in Tbilisi City’s landfill, a component included in the Original Project.

The Project is part of Green Cities Framework 2 (GrCF2) and follow-on investment from Tbilisi’s Green City Action Plan (GCAP). The project addresses the GCAP-identified need for improvements in the City’s solid waste system. It reduces environmental pollution from the landfill and employs the best available technology in line with the EU standards.
