Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, the EU, its Member States and European financial institutions – as ‘Team Europe‘ – have disbursed €47.7 billion in support of partner countries in addressing the pandemic and its consequences, delivering on its promises with concrete results. This figure exceeds by far the initial €20 billion Team Europe support package pledged in spring 2020, which has now increased to €53.7 billion.

Commissioner for International Partnerships, Jutta Urpilainen, said: “Despite going through the COVID-19 crisis itself, I am proud that Team Europe came together and has proven and delivered on its solidarity with partner countries suffering from the pandemic and its consequences. As a solid and steady partner, Team Europe will also continue to support them in addressing new multifaceted and global crises such as the unjust consequences of Russia’s aggression on Ukraine.”

Team Europe’s COVID-19 response is supporting over 140 partner countries. This collective global support focuses on 1) emergency response to immediate humanitarian needs; 2) strengthening health, water, sanitation and nutrition systems; and 3) mitigating the social and economic consequences of the pandemic.
