Today we signed an LOI confirming the TaiwanBusiness–EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund’s support for our new work in Sub-Saharan Africa.

We're very grateful for our Taiwanese #EBRDdonors and their trust in our shared mission.

Thank you to Italy, @MEF_GOV, for the contribution of €1.5M to the Ukraine FIRST Cooperation Fund!

These resources will help Ukraine recover, strengthen resilience and support sustainable development, building on Italy’s previous commitments.

With Taiwanese support, we’re helping Armenian refugees integrate into the labour market. We’re partnering up with TUMO centre to provide training in digital & ICT fields, boosting employability and restoring livelihoods.

Great to sign with @MBousquetEU another EFSD+ guarantee programme today at the Strategic Board in Brussels. The €52.5m #Growth4All is @EBRD ‘s 1st EFSD+ programme in the Western Balkans region, and importantly will support #SMEs in earthquake impacted regions in Türkiye. 🇪🇺💪

[MOFE - Korea @moefkorea_eng]

First Vice Minister Kim Byoung-hwan signed a letter of intent on the #EBRD's Crisis Response Special Fund (#CRSF) worth $50 million with Jurgen Rigterink, Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (@EBRD), on February 6.

[The EBRD @EBRD]

Our partnership with @moefkorea_eng has been strengthened further after its latest commitment of USD50 million for #SupportingUkraine.

The Republic of Korea has been one of our #EBRDdonors since 1993 and has emerged as a key partner in recent years.

@JRigterink

[The EBRD @EBRD]

From strength to strength with our #EBRDdonors!

Our @BowmanEBRD and @Taiwan_in_UK representative Kelly Wu-Chiao Hsieh signed a €4m contribution today in our HQ.

With Taiwanese support, we're making our regions safer, greener and more inclusive.

[Ines Rocha @ifc_ines]

Delighted to be @DutchMFA in The Hague today with @JRigterink and @PMGrotenhuis marking the strong collaboration with The Netherlands 🇳🇱 & @EBRD. The Netherlands has been a leading #EBRDdonor in support of Ukraine 🇺🇦from food security, vital infrastructure and energy security.

Focusing solely on disasters in contexts affected by fragility, conflict, and violence undermines disaster risk reduction and resilience building.

Disaster response efforts can be a useful entry point to bridge divides and reduce tensions. https://t.co/0eX9kqxuXG

Lax rules and poor monitoring inflate #cookstove offset benefits, generating fake #CarbonCredits.

When projects claim very high numbers buyers should ask hard questions, says SEI’s @rob_bailis.

@ChinaGSProject @stadenesque Thank you for the lengthy coverage of this topic. I didn't hear you mention the Contingent Reserve Arrangement when discussing NDB. Pls touch upon it in future.
