Blended concessional finance contributes to EBRD’s ability to fulfil its transition mandate. Over 60% of the Bank’s investments are supported by donor funding through technical cooperation grants and blended concessional finance instruments (capex/incentive grants, concessional debt, funded/unfunded concessional guarantees, risk-sharing mechanisms). In the current external environment of declining Official Development Assistance resulting from the global poly-crises, EBRD is developing an updated approach to sourcing and using concessional donor funds in line with the Bank’s Strategic Capital Framework (SCF) 2026-30 and its new Donor Strategy 2026-30.

The Impact & Partnerships Blended Finance team is a joint unit of the Impact and Donor Partnerships departments within the Vice Presidency Policy & Partnerships with the mandate to provide seamless end-to-end services, from EBRD banking teams to donors, in the strategic sourcing and using of concessional donor funds to maximize the leverage, private capital mobilisation and impact of EBRD’s donor funds in support of the Bank’s operations and strategic objectives.

The Analyst is a member of the blended finance team with responsibilities to (i) contribute to donor strategies and policies, (ii) conduct donor funds and blended finance analysis; (iii) contribute to blended finance project reviews, (iv) contribute to donor partnership and blended finance training and knowledge products and (v) support stakeholder management.

The I&P’s Strategy and blended Finance team is a joint initiative of the Impact and Donor Partnerships departments within the Vice Presidency Policy & Partnerships. Responding to the changing external donor environment and recognizing the importance of donor funds to facilitate the Bank’s strategic business and impact objectives, I&P’s integrated blended finance team aims to provide seamless end-to-end services, from EBRD banking teams to donors, in sourcing and using concessional donor funds.

The unit comprises of 10 full-time staff from Impact and Donor Partnerships delivering five key functions:

The team is embedded in both the Impact and Donor Partnerships departments to contribute to the implementation of and reporting on the Bank's transition results architecture and management of donor funds and partnerships in line with the SCF
2026-30, associated strategies and approaches and the Operations Manual.

EBRD manages an active portfolio of about EUR 6bn in donor funds. On the supply side, for the sourcing of concessional donor funds, the EBRD blended finance team collaborates with Donor Partnerships and banking teams in the structuring and review of up to 100 funding proposals and contribution agreements per year.
