It should not be a surprise that EWI attracts so much support from the private sector and foundations as well as the European Union, international institutions and European governments. As a catalyst for change, EWI has a key role to play in helping transition countries to build peaceful democracies and competitive free markets. It is a huge job but working together we can and shall continue to make a difference.
