According to EBRD website, the EBRD is considering a EUR 400 million framework operation for on-lending to several participating financial institutions in Turkey to finance private and public sector subborrowers investing in small scale renewable energy and resource efficiency projects. TurSEFF III will be the third phase of the TurSEFF framework and builds on the successful implementation of the first two phases. Under the third phase of TurSEFF, the operations will also be expanded to northern Cyprus. The programme in northern Cyprus will be implemented under a different name and will focus entirely on financing of SMEs. 

This project aims to: 

i) further increase financial intermediation for resource efficiency and renewable energy
investments
ii) include public sector investments as well as leasing companies in the programme and;
iii) further improve the financial insitutions`skills in recognising and assessing a wider range of sustainable energy projects.

If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent. You can contact the PCM at pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form, http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en. You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html.
