8.2. Potential Sources of Donor Funds
European Bank
for Reconstruction and Development
The Western Balkans Investment Framework, including EU and bilateral donor funds,
will finance regional priorities of the EU's Economic and Investment Plan in
the energy, environment, social, transport, and digital infrastructure sectors as well as
energy efficiency (REEP) and private sector development activities.
The EU and other donors will also provide bilateral funds for investments in municipal
infrastructure, advisory programmes and the competitiveness and digital
transformation of SMEs.
As part of the Green Economy Financing Facility (GEFF) programmes, funding could be
provided to support technical assistance and investments in green and renewable
energy.
Additional support from Multi-Donor Accounts will also be explored.
The SSF Work Plan 2021-2022 prioritises work in the principal areas of the EBRD'S
Strategic and Capital Framework - green, equality of opportunity, digitalisation, key
sectors of operations and economic governance. Funding for projects in Bosnia will be
considered from the Western Balkans Regional Allocation of the Work Plan and the
Innovation and Transformation Pool within the Work Plan, specifically for projects
which are innovative/transformational which EBRD has not implemented before.
