Using donor finance in a disciplined manner is integral to the Bank's business model and is a key enabler of its strategic goals. The Bank must meet donor expectations to maintain continued support.

Under its Strategic and Capital Framework 2026‐2030, the EBRD reaffirms its commitment to supporting a green economy transition and mobilising private capital at scale, including through innovative blended finance structures.

EBRD works with some 50 multilateral and bilateral donors, with about 50% of the Bank's investments drawing on donor support. The Green Partnerships team manages a portfolio close to USD 3 billion and collaborates with partners across three continents to advance climate and environmental action.
