The SWITCH-Asia programme is the single largest programme to support sustainable consumption and production in developing countries. The EU aims to see the benefits of this investment. The Proposal Guidelines, therefore, state that the EU, with SWITCHAsia, aims to achieve regional impact in the area of sustainable consumption and production. Each single SWITCH-Asia project, but also the programme as a whole, needs to report on the impact of its activities.
The Proposal Guidelines point out that the EU, with SWITCH-Asia, aims to achieve regional impact in four areas:
1. Increased use of environmentally-friendly technologies and practices by SMEs;
2. A switch to consumption of products that are less environmentally damaging;
3. R einforcement and implementation of legal environmental and safety instruments;
4. Development and application of effective economic instruments that enhance SCP.
