Cooperation Partners

NDF provides grants by co-financing with its multilateral and bilateral partners—such as the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank, the African Development Bank—and with the Nordic countries’ development assistance agencies.

NDF has close cooperation with its sister institutions: the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) and the Nordic Project Fund (Nopef), all located in the same building complex in Helsinki, Finland.
