Advisory & technical assistance
Technical assistance is a key instrument for improving the quality of lending operations and enhancing their development impact.
It is an integral part of the appraisal and implementation process for FEMIP loans, and provides the analytical data needed to understand the economic and financial development issues of the Mediterranean partner countries.
The technical assistance offered by FEMIP is based on two funds:
- The FEMIP Support Package: supports existing projects that have already been identified. This assistance can be delivered at various stages of the project, from preparation through to completion.
- The FEMIP Trust Fund: provides upstream technical assistance for loan operations, which is not necessarily linked to an EIB investment.
See details of how to apply for technical assistance.
