The Multilateral Fund is the financial mechanism of the Montreal Protocol and provides financial and technical assistance to Article 5 (developing) countries to enable their compliance with the Protocol’s control measures. The Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund has approved funding to Croatia in the amount of US$4,006,330 to date 2019-12-31. As at 2018-12-31, US$4,006,330 had been disbursed to Croatia. For more information please refer to the Multilateral Fund website.
NB: Croatia received the indicated funding from the Multilateral Fund during the time it was classified as a party operating under Article 5 of the Montreal Protocol. Croatia is currently classified as a non-Article 5 party and therefore no longer eligible for financial and technical assistance from the Multilateral Fund.
