Serbian Energy Efficiency Project

The Government of the Republic of Serbia (GOS) has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) to support the Serbia Energy Efficiency Project. The objectives of this Project are (a) to reduce the local and global environmental impact of the use of dirty fuels for heating buildings in Serbia, and (b) make heating more affordable by improving end-use energy efficiency.

WORLD BANK'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED FIVE PROJECTS FOR SERBIA

Projects support regional development in Serbia, competitiveness of agriculture sector, flood retention, transport infrastructure and safety improvements and energy efficiency



The World Bank is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world. We are not a bank in the common sense. We are made up of two unique development institutions owned by 184 member countries-the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) Each institution plays a different but supportive role in our mission of global poverty reduction and the improvement of living standards. The IBRD focuses on middle income and creditworthy poor countries, while IDA focuses on the poorest countries in the world. Together we provide low-interest loans, interest-free credit and grants to developing countries for education, health, infrastructure, communications and many other purposes.
