Program Goal: The Environmental Development Program (EDP) is based on the principle of sustainable development, that is, environmental protection and socio-economic development are complementary and enhance one another. The goal of the program is to make a significant contribution in environmental protection and
enhancement and in the sustainable development and utilization of natural resources in line with the government’s policy thrusts.

Program Objectives: EDP caters to the environmental financing needs of both government and private sectors in:
* Improving the quality of the environment in ways that also assist industries to achieve production efficiency and competitiveness as well as regulatory compliance.
* Enabling local government units to manage environment and natural resources in ways that increases their income and their capability to respond to the needs of their constituents; and
* Developing and managing natural resources sustainability in ways that provides communities with basic needs including potable water, sanitation services, waste management and reliable and affordable electricity; and opportunities to alternative livelihood and enterprise development.

Program Components:
* Credit Programs – to finance investment requirements
* Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) – to assist CDM eligible projects in securing carbon credits which can be utilized as additional fund to accelerate loan amortization payment and/or security for the loan
* Technical Assistance – to assist borrowers in project preparation and for capacity improvement of bank staff in program management

CLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISM

Carbon credits from CDM-registered projects as security for the loan or for acceleration of loan amortization payments.

Eligible Projects:
Projects that reduce Greenhouse gases emission such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Hydroflourocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and Suphur Hexaflouride (SF6).
