The past experience – The 80s and 90s
Main focus of EC support to the water sector outside the EU on: i) capacity building; ii) sector reform; iii) rural water
EIB supporting: i) sector reform jointly with WB and regional IFIs: ii) projects in urban areas
EDFIs supporting both rural and urban water + reform
EC providing grants and EIB soft loans, EDFIs both
EIB access to project preparation facilities with grant support: METAP in MED region, None in ACP
No EC/EIB parallel or co-financing (1 project in more than 20 years, substantial for EIB/EDFIs in ACP, less in MED

Future opportunities
Agreement on general sector policies: Future EU policies would benefit from the ground experience and sector expertise of EIB/EDFIs. Setting the dialogue
Shared support for development of regional and country strategies: H2020, DABLAS, EURO-MED water strategy, Programme Eau Senegal, Amman Water project, Lake Victoria regional project, WBs, country dialogue in Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia: extend & enhance joint approach
Coordinated definition of programs, projects, preparation, shared finance & blending, innovation: EUWF, NIF, ITF, VA
Coordinated implementation & monitoring: The Maputo MoU example, headquarter manag., local support, MRI

5José Frade European Investment Bank
A few questions for the debate
How to set the dialogue for sector policy? What is the added value of EIB/EDFIs expertise?
Could budget & project support be complementary? Sector?
Is the EUWI still a valid platform for cooperation?
How can we develop regional programs, e.g. Lake Victoria, and IWRM+ service provision projects
Can the Maputo innovative implementation cooperation be applied more often? What are the benefits and constraints?
Should we have a water related staff “who’s who” in each organisation? An updated “manual” of relevant policy docs, websites etc? Have joint participation in main fora often?
