EDF-Green build on lessons learned from the EDF-agriculture (EDF- a), such as small-scale irrigation infrastructure that is not yet common in Iraq, and from EDF-renewables (EDF- r), such as opportunities to encourage uptake and use of renewable energy technologies.

EDF-Green (EDF-g) – aside from supporting SMEs in expansion and job creation - contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation by specifically supporting SMEs producing green products/providing green services or in greening their processes and practices.
