The European Investment Bank has launched a technical assistance fund that aims to bolster the bank’s operations in Eastern European countries.
The Eastern Partnership Technical Assistance Trust Fund seeks to speed up and improve the quality of implementation of EIB-financed projects in the European Union’s eastern neighbor countries.
The fund will back pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, institutional and legal appraisals, environmental and social impact assessments, project management, and borrower support throughout the project implementation process. It will also back upstream studies and horizontal institutional activities.
