The EU, the participating EU Member States, their development agencies, as well as the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will mobilise around €2.8 billion to promote innovative approaches for employment creation in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean, by boosting sustainable trade and investment; vocational training and skills; and inclusive entrepreneurship.
