Green IndustryTransfer of Environmentally Sound Technology (TEST) in the South Mediterranean Region
UNITED NATIONS INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION
Towards clean competitive industry
MED-TEST is a UNIDO green industry initiative
supported by the GEF and the Italian Government
to address priority hot spots of industrial pollution,
identified in the Mediterranean Strategic Action
Plan (SAP-MED).
MED-TEST is a component of the “Strategic
Partnership for the Mediterranean Large Marine
Ecosystem (LME)” of UNEP-MAP aiming to support
governments in implementing national strategies
for reducing industrial discharges.
The MED-TEST project (2009-2011) targets Egypt,
Morocco and Tunisia, with the potential to be
extended to other countries of the MED Region.
Project task
Capacity-buildingfor national partners
Demonstration projectsat pilot industries
Dissemination and replicationat national and regional level
National capacities built and hands-on experience gained by local experts on TEST integrated approach
• Existing processes optimized
• Economic benefits and sustainability of TEST demonstrated
• Reduction of pollution discharges into the Mediterranean Sea
• Investment portfolio for clean technology
A motivated cadre of professionals from the South Mediterranean region will become engaged in commercially based TEST replication activities.
Expected results
Enterprises of the South Mediterranean Region are facing numerous challenges in their effort to maintain or increase their competitiveness on the local market, access international markets with good quality products, comply with environmental standards and reduce their operational costs.
The MED TEST project has been designed to assist enterprises in dealing with these challenges and in building a long-term sustainable business strategy.

TEST integrated approach
TEST tools and the management pyramid
TEST is building on management of change within each level of the management pyramid:
• The operational level • The management system level, and • The strategic level
The TEST approach integrates and combines the essential elements of traditional tools such as Cleaner Production Assessment (CPA), Environmental Management System (EMS), Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), Technology Transfer and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), applied on the basis of a comprehensive diagnosis of enterprise needs (initial review).
The introduction of the TEST integrated approach at the enterprise level follows this sequence:
• The existing situation is improved by better management of the existing processes.
• The introduction of new cleaner technology (or if not sufficient also of optimized end-of-pipe solutions) is considered.
• The lessons learned from each TEST project’s implementation is reflected in the respective company’s business strategy.
