The EBRD is committed to improving municipal and environmental services in its
countries of operations, in line with its mandate to promote environmentally
sound projects.
At the EBRD, the MEI sector covers direct revenueearning services, such as
water supply, waste-water collection and treatment, solid waste management,
district heating, natural gas distribution and urban public transport.
Infrastructure, such as urban roads, and environmental clean-up operations,
which are not directly revenue-earning, are also included. Generally, the
provision, financing and management of these municipal and environmental
services are the responsibility of local or regional governments. The MEI
sector also covers environmental services, such as industrial and hazardous
waste management, that may be organised nationally or outside local government
responsibility.
