European Western Balkans Joint Fund

Since the launch of EWBJF, the Fund has contributed to the construction of more than 1,060km of new roads, including regional ones and new motorway sections connecting the Western Balkans to major European transport corridors. The Fund facilitated the installation of 187MW of renewable energy capacity in the Western Balkan region. Today, 2.4 million people have access to improved drinking water and close to 100,000 students benefit from improved school facilities. The EBRD’s interventions through the WBIF also enabled improvements in the energy sector with investments in renewables and energy efficiency projects for residential households and businesses, contributing to a significant reduction of CO2 levels in the region.
