Kommunalkredit Public Consulting supports the KLI.EN management in its funding and contracting operations, thus contributing towards a more efficient use of KLI.EN funds.
EBRD
The EBRD is an international financial institution that supports projects in 29 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia. The bank mainly invests in private and public sector projects, whose needs cannot be fully met by the market, and thus promotes entrepreneurship and fosters transition towards open and democratic market economies.
European Union
The European Union is the world's biggest aid donor. The Commission's EuropeAid co-operation office manages EU external aid programmes and ensures that development assistance is delivered worldwide. The Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) and the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) are relevant funding sources for Technical Assistance contracts.

KfW Development Bank implements the Financial Cooperation Programme of the German Government, which is the main instrument of the bilateral development cooperation. The Financial Cooperation aims at reducing poverty, organise the globalisation in a sustainable way, protect the natural resources and ensure peace.
