The Mediterranean Hot Spots Investment Programme – Project Preparation and Implementation Facility (MeHSIP-PPIF)
is part of the "Horizon 2020 Initiative"
aiming to de-pollute the Mediterranean
by the year 2020.

The identification of “priority hotspot investment projects” was conducted by the EIB in cooperation with the UNEP/MAP and the National Action Plans. The environmental infrastructure projects targeted for MeHSIP-PPIF support cover municipal waste, urban wastewater and industrial pollution.

This Website provides an overview of the projects currently forming the ‘Horizon 2020 Project List’, which includes projects across the south Mediterranean partner countries and allows each visitor to navigate through using specific search criteria (link to Project Search).

The initial idea was first to identify regionally significant and bankable projects and then to give these projects strategic priority in order to push them forward to implementation.
In support of this, the FEMIP (Facility for Euro-Mediterranean Investment and Partnership) – funded Mediterranean Hot Spots Investment Programme – Project Preparation and Implementation Facility (MeHSIP-PPIF) is underway.
