Portugal became an EIB donor partner in 2005 and has since contributed a total of €2 million to EIB trust funds. As a contributor to the FEMIP Trust Fund (FTF), Portugal facilitates private sector development and infrastructure in the EU’s Southern Neighbourhood. The country also supports infrastructure projects in sub-Saharan Africa via the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (EU-AITF).
Donor partnerships provide an effective vehicle for donors looking to deliver sustained impact in developing countries. They enable donors to work with the EIB to unlock projects with high socio-economic returns, reaching out to people and places with additional support for targeted development outcomes. EIB activities outside the EU account for around one third of EU development aid. All contributions to EIB donor funds are considered Official Development Assistance (ODA) eligible.
