Not just another database, this interactive map is conceived as a gateway providing information on IGE-related activities (including their objectives, status, results, partners, funders and budgets) implemented with EU support. It gives a comprehensive picture of the SWITCH regional projects in Asia, the Mediterranean and Africa, which are presented for the first time side by side.

Synergies with other relevant EU-funded programmes, such as the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), the Green Economy Coalition (GEC) and the Ten Year Framework of Programmes on SCP (10YFP), will be shown progressively through the collection of their specific IGE-related projects. 

Each individual project or programme is linked to its related Sustainable Development Goal(s) SDG-and 10YFP programme, showing the concrete contribution of the EU to the sustainable consumption and production (SCP)-related objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Projects can be searched using keywords or using pre-set filters according to the following criteria:

• Country (the country in which the project takes place)
• Donor (the country or region in which the project’s funder is based)
• Sector (Agriculture; Building Materials Industry; Chemical Sector; Crosscutting issues; Electrical Equipment Industry; Energy Efficiency; Fabricated Metals Industry; Food and Beverage; Machinery Industry; Renewable Energy; Research and Eco-innovation; Service Industry; Textile and Leather Industry; Tourism Industry; Utilities Sector; Waste Management; Wood-based Industry; Multi-sector)
