PROJECTS
EU Projects with Nicaragua
Together, the European Union and its Member States are the biggest suppliers of development cooperation to Nicaragua.
Channels of funding to support development
The European Union uses different channels of funding to support development in Nicaragua:
- Development grants through the EU system, which is specifically for Nicaragua.
- Development grants through the EU system, which supports projects to Nicaragua and other countries in the Central American region.
- Development loans from the European Investment Bank to projects in Nicaragua.
- Grants directly from several EU Member States, supporting projects in Nicaragua (and, in some cases, other countries in the region).
In addition, the European Union provides humanitarian aid to Nicaragua and neighbouring countries in response to emergencies such as natural disasters. (This aid isn´t counted as development assistance.)

- Adaptation to climate change.
- Support to the productive sector.
