European development finance, JEFIC launches its website and opens a LinkedIn page
Feb 12, 2026
New communication tools to showcase the role of the network bringing together Europe’s leading national bilateral development banks and financial institutions, and the impact generated by cooperation projects
The Joint European Financiers for International Cooperation (JEFIC), the network that brings together Europe’s leading Public Financial Institutions for development, is strengthening its communication strategy with the launch of an institutional website and a LinkedIn page.
JEFIC’s new website and LinkedIn page are designed to provide a more structured and accessible narrative of the network’s activities, facilitating information sharing among institutional stakeholders and international partners, while increasing the visibility of co‑financing operations and joint initiatives, including those developed under the Co‑Financing Framework Agreement signed in 2023.
The launch of these new channels is among the first initiatives introduced during the JEFIC presidency held by CDP from January to June 2026 and accompanies the ongoing effort to strengthen JEFIC’s role in coordinating European development action in a continuously evolving geopolitical context.
Established in 2021, JEFIC brings together five European public development finance institutions – AECID (Spain), AFD (France), BGK (Poland), KfW (Germany) and CDP (Italy) – with the aim of strengthening coordination of European action in partner countries and increasing the effectiveness and impact of international cooperation initiatives.
Thanks to the combination of financial resources, technical expertise and local presence of its members, JEFIC currently operates in more than 160 countries, supporting sustainable growth in emerging economies, particularly through partnerships with the public sector and initiatives aligned with the European Union’s strategic priorities.
In 2024 alone, the network mobilised over €18 billion in financing, making a significant contribution to the implementation of European strategies, including the Global Gateway, and working in a structured manner with the European Commission, the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Development Finance Institutions (EDFI), and the Practitioners’ Network for European Development Cooperation (PN).
