Financing

The initiative is open to all potential donors.

Any potential assistance from the European Commission would have to come from the proposed European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and therefore a clear link to the ENP and its Action Plans is indispensable.

Future Commission assistance is likely to continue to stimulate investment from International Financial Institutions through use of instruments such as Technical Assistance and interest rate subsidies. For infrastructure construction, the bulk of investments will continue to be provided through IFIs loans and contributions from other donors.

Other partners may chose to use the financial instruments at their disposal to further the aims of the initiative.
