Abstract	Cleaner production (CP) can be good business. To address constraints related to financing CP and to look for ways to overcome them, the United Nations Environment Programme, Division of Technology, Industry and Economic (UNEP/DTIE), has been implementing since 1999 a project "Strategies and mechanisms for promoting cleaner production investment in developing countries". The project is coming to an end in February 2003. Through field testing and adaptation and in partnership with experts in industrialised and developing countries and economies in transition, it has generated a series of guides, checklists and training packages. Over 3,000 persons attended the over 100 1- or 2-day courses delivered by national institutions in five demonstration countries. The project has also contributed to making preventive approaches and efficient resource management part of awareness raising and training activities by some development finance institutions and the UNEP Finance Initiatives. Proposals on innovative financing schemes have been made in several workshops for banks and donors in 2002. In addition to the special financing issue of the Journal of Cleaner Production (published in March 2003), articles on links between CP, financing and accounting have been contributed to professional publications.Although the project's demonstration activities have focused on five countries in Africa, Asia and Central America, its conclusions, recommendations and outputs are of direct relevance also to other developing countries and economies in transition. The integration of preventive strategies into investment decision making processes is a challenge both in the industrialised and in developing countries in the region. This paper summarises the lessons learned through the project and presents the recommendations, tools and instruments available for adaptation and use by CP promoters, financial institutions and business schools.
