=== Mandates and partnerships ===
Apart from financing projects using its own resources, the European Investment Bank establishes mandates and partnerships which help to fund riskier projects and to blend loans with [[Grant (money)|grants]]; which are disbursed funds or products that do not require repayment. Mandates can also involve financial investment and can be based on technical and financial advice.<ref name="Mandates and Partnerships">{{Cite web|title=Mandates and Partnerships|url=https://www.eib.org/en/products/mandates-partnerships/index.htm|access-date=2021-04-28|website=EIB.org|language=en}}</ref>

The EIB has partnerships with organisations across the world, including the [[European Commission]] and [[European External Action Service]], the [[United Nations]] (e.g. [[Sustainable Energy for All]]) or the [[International Fund for Agricultural Development]].<ref name="Mandates and Partnerships"/>
