Objectives

The overall objective is to support the GPP-STREAM partners to transfer the lessons learnt to all implementation phases of the policy instruments addressed and to create a community of stakeholders that can mainstream GPP practices.
The sub-objectives include:

1. Identify, collect and share best practices and support tools for the adoption of green public procurement oriented towards resource efficiency within the responsible bodies of the policy instruments.
2. Improve the integration of GPP objectives and actions within the funding programmes and sectoral/development plans.
3. Improve the capacity of national, regional and local administrations to align their actions in order to enhance GPP implementation.
4. Improve the capacity of monitoring GPP implementation triggered by the implementation of specific policy instruments and plans.
5. Stimulate the adoption of green demand for goods and services along all phases of policy instruments’ implementation, including those that are affected but not directly managed by the authorities that developed the instruments.
