About the Western Balkans Investment Framework

About the Western Balkans Investment Framework

The Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF) is a financial platform that coordinates and harmonises investments for socio-economic development in the region. It is a joint initiative of the EU, financial organisations, bilateral donors and beneficiaries, contributing to the European perspective of the Western Balkans.


Due to its collaborative nature in line with the 'Team Europe' approach, the WBIF is the main vehicle for implementing the EU’s ambitious Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans. The WBIF is also an integral part of the new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, channelling half of the financial assistance made available through the Reform and Growth Facility.
