The overall objective of the project is to increase the quality and flow of environmentally sound investment projects in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, thereby supporting the goals of MEAs. With a view to achieving this objective, Technology Transfer Networks (TTN) Phase II will 1) strengthen and expand the network of national agencies called TTN Local Desks; 2) decentralize content management of the SANet web site and enhance information inflow from GEF recipient countries; and 3) demonstrate successes in leveraging investments with small co-finance incentives and disseminate information of success cases for further replication. The key to the TTN framework is the Local Desks, which, as an interface, links needs and opportunities at the country/ regional level to information and know-how exchange at the global level.
