He said the government and the project partners would try to promote the project by letting entrepreneurs know the benefits the project would bring them.

Frans Verspeek, team leader for SWITCH-Asia network facility, said such a problem was not only the one that was being faced in China but also in other Asian countries.

Verse said sharing the experience in conducting the projects was the main purpose of the program's second networking meeting from Oct. 12 to 14 in Beijing.

Wiley said changes were reported at the meeting that the projects could be operational in one or two years.

"We hope the SWITCH program will influence governments as well, because after they see actual results in particular sectors, they can encourage on a large scale by their own power to modify the environmental regulations in their countries," Wiley said.
