About us

The Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB) is a multilateral development bank with an exclusively social mandate.

The CEB’s mission is to promote social cohesion in Europe, defined as “the capacity of a society to ensure the well-being of all its members, minimising disparities and avoiding marginalisation”.

The CEB pursues its mission by financing social investment and projects that serve vulnerable people, across three lines of action:

• Investing in people and enhancing human capital;

• Promoting inclusive and resilient living environments;

• Supporting jobs and economic and financial inclusion.
