Green Finance Models: Assessing Finance Product Capacity to Lower Barriers to Green Building in East Africa

The document was prepared as a companion piece to the Sustainable Building Finance: a practical guide to project financing in East Africa under the UN-Habitat Energy Efficiency in Buildings in East Africa initiative. The intent is to test a number of the finance mechanisms/strategies described in the Sustainable Building Finance Guide for their applicability to East Africa, and assess their ability to overcome barriers to delivering green/energy efficient buildings and local low-carbon energy networks.
