The setting up of these facilities aims at supporting the implementation of the external dimension of the European Green Deal in partner countries, in line with the relevant sectoral strategies and policies and cooperation agenda.

Considering the complexity of the matters at stake, the sound implementation of the external dimension of the Green Deal will depend on the availability of robust knowledge and innovations, and require conducive policies developments, experience-sharing and effective coordination of efforts.

This includes dealing with innovative financial products and packages in order to contribute addressing the biodiversity funding gap and harnessing opportunities offered by the European Fund
for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) and the permanent dialogue the EU holds with IFIs and MDBs.

The Green Deal Knowledge Hub will mobilise the best available international expertise in required areas to provide advisory services, knowledge development and sharing, and capacity development to partner countries, EU Delegations and EU services in Headquarters.

It will aim at supporting the EU' contribution to international policy and normative work, as well as supporting the design, management and implementation of EU cooperation programmes at global, regional and country

levels and at all the stages of the project cycle (programming, identification, formulation, implementation and evaluation), through the dissemination of lessons and best practices and the facilitation of coordination and exchange of experiences between actors.
