Workshop on Resource Conservation Techniques in SMEs

This workshop aims to conduct an initial assessment and identify and document key elements of a resource efficiency audit framework. The project will be implemented in a step-by-step manner.

Pakistan’s URAAN Pakistan National Economic Transformation Plan 2024–2029, guided by the 5Es framework, prioritizes energy, environmental sustainability, and export competitiveness. The National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Policy 2023 calls for energy audits, assessments, energy management systems, and workforce capacity building, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs). These national policy directions underscore the need to strengthen practical skills for identifying resource losses and improving the efficiency of SME operations.

This workshop will build participants’ capacity to identify resource efficiency improvement opportunities in SMEs through practical instruction, case examples, and group exercises. Participants will examine energy, water, and material use; practice basic resource-use assessments and documentation; identify the elements of a resource efficiency audit framework; and prepare initial SME-level improvement actions.
