Cleaner Production Centre (CPC)

About CPC
The CPC is a unit under ERSI. The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) and the Division of Technology, Industry and Economics of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP DTIE) combined their expertise and resources in an innovative joint initiative that established National Cleaner Production Centres in 1994, in many developing countries in Africa and Asia. The centres were established to help developing countries and countries with economies in transition build their own local cleaner production capacities

The centre conducts training programs to develop capacity for cleaner production. It promotes and demonstrates the use of cleaner production techniques and technologies that benefit both industry and the environment.
