The Multi-Donor Action “EU Support to Better Governance and Business Environment in Pakistan” is jointly co-financed by the European Union and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ as part of the BMZ-funded project “Promotion of Improvement of Labour, Social and Environmental Standards in Pakistan’s Textile Industry (TextILES II)”.
The project aims to boost the competitiveness of Pakistan export-oriented SMEs through green and inclusive growth. It focuses on strengthening policy frameworks, supporting SME-led green transitions particularly those involving women and facilitating targeted green investments via public-private dialogue platforms.
