Changing people’s livesFor over two decades the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has been working with the international donor community to accelerate transition towards market-oriented economies and a set of values that we all share. Democratic foundations, private sector development, a competitive and transparent business environment and sustainable growth are just a few of the elements that underpin economic and social prosperity. Our donors have successfully supported this aim and that is why the Bank has ingrained the use of grants into its core business, ensuring efficiency and strategic resources for our operations.

The progress and results of our joint work, for which we express gratitude and pride, are detailed in the online Donor Report, where they are echoed in videos by the voices of the very people whose lives have been improved through our actions.

In 2013 donors provided significant grant funding totalling almost €349 million to complement and support investments where they are most needed in all sectors across our entire region, especially infrastructure, sustainable energy and small business. Efforts focused in particular on the early transition countries, the Western Balkans and the southern and eastern Mediterranean region.

This support funded over 600 technical cooperation assignments. In Georgia, the city of Rustavi now has a sanitary landfill serving about 120,000 citizens and the first recycling plant in the country; in FYR Macedonia and Kosovo, two private companies have invested in several small hydropower plants providing a source of renewable energy for remote areas; in Jordan, a family-run poultry agribusiness employing over 750 people has improved its operations and increased production. These are just a few examples of what we have achieved by working together.

The changes that, together with our donors, we have initiated from Casablanca to Vladivostok are proof of the success of our partnerships. Notably, in 2013 two countries of operations, Kazakhstan and Russia, established donor funds supporting EBRD projects in their respective countries. Also, Turkey co-financed a lending and advisory programme dedicated to Turkish businesswomen, together with the European Union (the Bank’s largest donor). These developments highlight enhanced involvement by some transition countries in the EBRD’s business model and suggest a path that others might take in the near future.

Donors also drive innovation while responding to developmental need: in financing instruments, for example by supporting risk-sharing products which foster climate change mitigation and adaptation measures or small business programmes; in policy dialogue activities, such as promoting local currency use to reduce exchange rate risk and involving the private sector in food security; and through continuous strategic guidance to improve the way donor funds are managed at the EBRD.

Backed by our donors, the Bank started to tackle important challenges: the Sustainable Resource Initiative, launched in 2013, will increase investments in the efficient use of energy, water and materials, and the Small Business Initiative is designed to streamline our approach to small enterprise finance and advisory support. These new programmes will need donor funding to address market imbalances, introduce new financial instruments and encourage institutional reforms.

With continued donor generosity in the face of shrinking public finances, which demonstrates our accountability as a trusted partner, the Bank is taking concrete steps to improve our governance, planning, communication and strategic approach to providing better value for public money.

Our promise of greater efficiency is reflected in our 2014 priorities. These include strengthening grant management, measuring the impact of advisory activities, and improving prioritisation in the use of resources from the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund, which complements donor funds and underpins the Bank’s priorities. In order to meet our development objectives in the coming years, we will require further coordination and a stable source of funding from our donor partners.

Motivated by our common achievements and invigorated by mutual support, we can confidently face the challenges ahead and bring sustainable change to transition economies.

DONOR REPORT

Whatare donor partnerships?Donor governments and partners make a vital contribution to the transition process by providing funds that act as a catalyst for EBRD investments and support other Bank activities on the ground. Donors are particularly active in those parts of the EBRD region facing the biggest obstacles to recovery and growth, and in the infrastructure, sustainable energy and small business sectors.

Donor support for EBRD activities comes from bilateral donors, multilateral donor funds, the Bank’s shareholders and the European Union. In 2013, bilateral donors provided nearly €119 million in TC and non-TC grants.

Donor instruments

Donor funding at the EBRD takes the shape of technical cooperation (TC) and non-TC grants.

TC grants focus on specific tasks in support of a particular project or programme such as project preparation and implementation, training, sector support, building a client’s know-how and technical skills, policy dialogue and providing other forms of assistance. In 2013, donors approved €142.5 million of TC grants that supported over 600 TC assignments.

Non-TC grants include investment grants, performance fees and incentives that encourage financial institutions to extend EBRD loans to sub-borrowers, risk-sharing and concessional loans.

DONOR REPORTCASE STUDIES

ACCELERATING TRANSITION IN INFRASTRUCTURE

Reliable basic infrastructures for transport, energy and other services are crucial for economic development. In the countries where the EBRD works, this frequently involves costly upgrades and represents a priority issue for the Bank. Donor assistance can help to address the challenges in the infrastructure sector and make a real difference to people, enterprises and facilities.

GEORGIA: ENGURI DAM KEEPS THE POWER FLOWING

In Georgia, the Enguri hydropower plant is again providing more than 40 per cent of the country’s electricity needs, thanks to the EBRD’s 15-year mission to renovate the world’s second biggest arch dam. The project was co-financed by the European Investment Bank and the European Union, with additional technical cooperation (TC) support from the European Union and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).

GEORGIA: SAFE WASTE MANAGEMENT IN RUSTAVI

Nobody wants to know where their rubbish goes. But the way it is dealt with can make the difference between a livable urban environment and a dangerously contaminated one. The EBRD, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Austria and the ETC Fund have backed a safe, new landfill and Georgia’s first recycling line in the city of Rustavi.

ADDRESSING ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CLIMATE CHANGE

The EBRD has been at the forefront of donor climate finance, with new funds set up in 2013 totalling €112.5 million in resources supporting action on climate change. Mitigation measures include increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy, while adaptation strategies focus on capacity-building programmes for water management, weather-based insurance and climate-resilient infrastructure, particularly in low-income countries.

To address other key sustainability issues while enhancing business competitiveness, the EBRD approved the Sustainable Resource Initiative (SRI) in 2013. This programme will expand the existing Sustainable Energy Initiative to further focus on the efficient use of materials and water.

DONOR REPORTCASE STUDIES

WESTERN BALKANS: THE POWER OF TRANSITION

The EBRD and its donors are supporting investments in green energy under the Western Balkans Sustainable Energy Direct Financing Facility, which is backed by the European Union, Norway, the Western Balkans Investment Framework and the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund. This €100 million programme, targeted at small and medium-scale projects, is forecast to cut CO2 emissions by half a million tonnes per year - the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars off the road.

TURKEY: TOWARDS A GREENER ECONOMY

The Turkish Mid-Size Sustainable Energy Financing Facility, with €700 million from the EBRD, €300 million from the European Investment Bank and TC support from the EU, promotes mid-sized renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. It helps develop the carbon market in Turkey and is introducing EU environmental and social standards into sustainable energy projects. As at end-2013 the Facility had disbursed €513 million of loans through seven partner banks. Sustainable Energy Financing Facilities (SEFFs) operate in 19 countries with €453 million signed with participating institutions for on-lending to sub-borrowers. Donor funding for SEFFs, in the form of TC as well as incentive payments and risk sharing, has reached €156.2 million in total.

INVESTING IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) are a major engine of economic growth, driving job creation and innovation. Improving access to finance for micro and small businesses and providing local entrepreneurs with the know-how to expand through tailored business advice are therefore crucial aspects of EBRD and donor engagement in the region.

GEORGIA: SMALL BUSINESSES GROW...LIKE MUSHROOMS!

With help from the EBRD Small Business Support, a Georgian mushroom producer benefited from the services of a local consulting company to introduce a customised management information system that streamlined production and control. Two years later, turnover had increased by over 45 per cent and the company had secured around 80 per cent of local market share by replacing imported produce. The cost of the project was shared between the client (70 per cent) and the European Union (30 per cent).

STRENGTHENING FOOD SECURITY

A strong private sector is vital for food security because it is best placed to increase market supply and the efficiency of global food production and distribution. In 2013, donors continued to provide generous funding to the Private Sector for Food Security Initiative, which, since its inception, has received a total of €9.4 million. Approximately €4.2 million has been provided for policy dialogue activities and €3.6 million for capacity-building of agribusinesses in the Bank’s recipient countries.

Thanks to funding from donors, the Initiative, led by the EBRD and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, has facilitated more liquidity in primary agriculture by supporting pre- and post-harvest financing mechanisms such as warehouse and crop receipts systems.

JORDAN: FEEDING SUCCESS

In Jordan a family-run agribusiness specialising in poultry is benefiting from the guidance of an international adviser to improve its production capacity. The EBRD project – funded by the SEMED MDA – will also strengthen the company’s disease prevention methods.

GUIDING TOWARDS BETTER POLICIES AND REGULATIONS

The process of transition to open-market economies needs comparative economic and social analysis for continued advancement. It also needs policy dialogue to ensure that sustainable economic progress is underpinned by improvements in the business environment and by appropriate legal and regulatory reforms. The EBRD, therefore, is very active also in these areas where donor support, beyond grant provision, often translates into guidance towards improved policy standards.

MONGOLIA: DEVELOPING PUBLIC PROCUREMENT REFORM

In Mongolia, the government has been working since 2008 to introduce international best practice in public procurement by improving its laws and regulations. As part of this plan, it has also established an electronic procurement (eProcurement) system, which facilitates the purchase and sale of supplies, work and services through the internet and other information systems.

The EBRD UNCITRAL Public Procurement Reform Initiative, worth over €2.1 million, was supported by the Early Transition Countries Fund, the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund and - more recently - the Slovak Republic.

BOOSTING GENDER EQUALITY AND ECONOMIC INCLUSION

Promoting gender equality and economic inclusion through investments and donor-funded support are key aspects of the EBRD’s commitment to advancing sustainable growth in countries where it works.

In 2013, the Bank launched the Strategic Gender Initiative, outlining how it will address gender equality gaps and promote women’s socio-economic empowerment, equal opportunities and participation in the labour market. The Bank also amended its methodology for assessing the transition impact of its projects to take into account economic inclusion, which is an integral part of development.

KYRGYZ REPUBLIC: PROMOTING GENDER EQUALITY IN MUNICIPAL SERVICES

Nazgul Shamekova, municipal trolleybus driver in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, is one of the women who will benefit from her company’s first gender equality plan. The EBRD has been supporting gender equality in the workplace while working with the municipality on the revival of the city’s trolleybus services with the purchase of 79 new vehicles. The investment, and related TC projects, are supported by the ETC Fund, Czech Republic, the TaiwanBusiness-EBRD Cooperation Fund and the EBRD Shareholder Special Fund.

GEORGIA: FINANCING LOCAL AGRIBUSINESS

Georgian farmers, such as milk producer Pavle Khutsishvili, have a further opportunity to receive loans to help sustain their small businesses through the EBRD’s Georgian Agricultural Financing Facility. The €40 million credit line in Georgian currency targets farmers and agribusinesses through local banks, and with TC assistance from the EU Neighbourhood Investment Facility also helps to improve bank agri-lending skills.

BACKING FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND LOCAL CAPITAL MARKETS

The EBRD is working to build a stable financial sector by stimulating lending to the real economy, developing local currency use and capital markets and promoting better governance and improved risk management of institutions.

Donor-funded TC projects are fundamental to EBRD investments, micro and small business lending programmes, energy efficiency credit lines, the Trade Facilitation Programme (TFP) and policy dialogue. In 2013 a total of €1.9 million of TC funding from donors supported 14 projects to underpin the Bank’s work with financial institutions.
