Sweden’s first contribution to EIB trust funds dates back to 2010. This Scandinavian country has committed a total of €19 million to two EIB trust funds. Sweden is a leading donor to the Eastern Partnership Technical Assistance Trust Fund (EPTATF) and also provides development assistance to countries in the EU’s Southern Neighbourhood via the FEMIP Trust Fund (FTF).
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.
