Liechtenstein has become the sixth donor to the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) Interim Facility, contributing CHF 40,000. This facility was established to support Least Developed Countries (LDCs) during the transition period until a new multilateral support mechanism is operational.
Ambassador Büchel expressed Liechtenstein's commitment by stating, “We are pleased to be contributing CHF 40,000 to the EIF Interim Facility, marking Liechtenstein's strong commitment to advancing global development efforts in general, and support towards LDCs in particular. Our contribution to the EIF Interim Facility reflects Liechtenstein's dedication to promoting economic development in LDCs, using trade as a tool for sustainable growth, and ensuring that our efforts to enhance trade capabilities in LDCs are sustained.”
Mr. Adhikari welcomed Liechtenstein as a new donor, saying: “We are very grateful to Liechtenstein and pleased to be welcoming another donor to the EIF donor family. Its contribution will further boost the available funds that enable initiatives aimed at building sustainable trade capacities in LDCs. Liechtenstein's contribution is a strong testament that donors understand the challenges that LDCs face, and it reinforces our capacity to continue providing support towards the economic development of until a future programme is operational.”
