Work with partners is a key component of EIF's success. The EIF partnership brings together LDC governments and funding and development partners, aligning efforts toward a single, mutually desirable goal – harnessing trade for LDC growth and poverty reduction. In addition to critical financial support, many EIF partners provide technical assistance and expertise to LDCs that governments then leverage to create a thriving economy based on sustainable growth.
EIF is founded on a simple premise: trade works for LDCs when it is aligned with government priorities and informed by the experience of international development agencies, funding and corporate partners, and academic.
