The successful Lithuanian Energy Efficiency financial instrument features in one of two case studies recently published by fi-compass.

The new publication highlights how the combination of grant with the financial instrument has played an important part in the implementation of the Modernisation Loan programme.

With details of the range of grant support and the integrated delivery programme, the case study is designed to provide practitioners with the information they need to design similar programmes, adapted to their own local needs.

A second case study features the FOSTER financial instruments set up in the Occitanie region of Southern France. A multi-sector fund of funds has enabled the managing authority to develop financial instruments adapted to different sectors and supporting businesses at all stages of their lifecycle. A total of 10 financial instruments have been set up with different financial intermediaries within a single streamlined governance structure.
