Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) is collaborating with IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, on accelerating the adoption of green building practices through the promotion of voluntary green building certification programs based on the EDGE (“Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies”) software, standard, and certification system.
Shared Aspirations
GIIF and IFC are establishing a framework for greater collaboration in pursuit of their shared aspirations to move the real estate industry on to a lower-carbon, more resource-efficient path.
GIIF’s Commitment
To this end, GIIF is committing to catalyze and has already completed one EDGE certification in the first year of this announcement.
Capacity Building
IFC will provide GIIF with an education session on the principles and applications of the EDGE software, standard, and certification system.
Knowledge Sharing
GIIF will promote sustainable design practices, and with IFC jointly present the benefits of using the EDGE software, standard, and certification system at mutually agreed conferences, seminars, and other events, and through papers, articles, or research.
