European Investment Bank
About
The European Investment Bank (EIB), the lending arm of the European Union, is dedicated to supporting sustainable economic growth globally. The EIB is a key partner in initiatives like the Blue Mediterranean Partnership and has supported projects such as the Tanzania Gender and Blue Economy facility. In West Africa, the EIB has signed a €20 million loan to improve financial inclusion for women and young people in Mauritania's blue economy, specifically targeting the seafood value chain. These efforts not only protect marine and coastal environments but also foster resilient and inclusive economic development.
