Applied tools : • Training are project based (when available funding from projects)• Certification includes a self evaluation and an in-situ evaluation done by an evaluator• Marketing – any certified businesses with Eco-Romania is marketed through all our channels (website, brochures, travel shows, etc.)• Monitoring – feedback from clients and direct discussions with

businesses (re-evaluation every third year)

Challenges: • Lacking of strategic support from the ministry side• Funding for a national programme
