Sustained partnerships between international Donors and the EIB are improving people's lives, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and advancing the international development objectives of the European Union.
Through its global presence and the mobilization of grant funds from Donor Mandates, the EIB finances projects, companies and initiatives in some 130 countries outside of the European Union. As this inaugural EIB Donors in Action book illustrates, the contributions of our Donors make a big difference, enabling the EIB to do more in challenging environments around the globe.
