Grant Description

USAID will invest $500,000 in the Environmental Health and Safety+ Center program, the goal of which is to advance low-carbon sustainable manufacturing practices in India's industrial sector while improving health and safety conditions inside factories and community conditions related to air, water, and carbon emissions.

The program will establish an Indian owned and operated, financially and operationally viable EHS+ Center.

The overall EHS+ Center activity builds professional capacity in a range of manufacturing practices, including environmental, health and safety, and energy and carbon management.

This program will include additional intensive energy efficiency workshops that will target the most energy intensive industrial processes in some of India's most energy intensive industrial sectors - ensuring carbon emissions reductions. (IM # 100351, $500,000 direct GCC-CE).
