The European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) is a core financing instrument within the European Union's Global Gateway strategy and the NDICI-Global Europe programme. It promotes sustainable investments across EU partner countries by offering risk-sharing tools such as guarantees, blending operations that combine EU grants with loans or equity from public and private sources, and technical assistance.
With guarantee capacity of up to €40 billion (including €13 billion in open architecture windows and €26.7 billion dedicated to the European Investment Bank), EFSD+ aims to mobilise up to €135 billion in total public and private financing. It supports projects in clean energy, green infrastructure, health, sustainable agriculture, digital economy, connectivity, and other sectors aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
EFSD+ is managed by the European Commission's Directorate-General for International Partnerships and implemented through a Team Europe approach involving the EIB and other development finance institutions from EU member states and international partners. It operates worldwide, with particular emphasis on de-risking investments in emerging markets and developing economies to attract private capital while avoiding market distortions.
The fund builds on the earlier EFSD and serves as a key mechanism for initiatives such as the T-MED Investment Platform, where it provides substantial guarantee capacity to reduce risks and leverage private investment in renewable energy and clean technology projects in the Mediterranean region.
Also known as Fonds européen pour le développement durable Plus.
