In collaboration with regional and national donors and international financing institutions, the UfM also contributes to mobilising sustainable financing to support regional priorities. This includes initiatives such as the UfM Grant Schemes for socio-economic development, with direct financial support, or the Blue Mediterranean Partnership, which seeks to accelerate investments in bankable blue economy projects and scale up their impact.

Selected regional projects may be granted the UfM label by a decision of UfM Member States adopted by consensus. The UfM label provides added value by enhancing visibility, trust, and credibility, facilitating stakeholder mobilisation, and access to a broad network of potential partners and donors, capitalising on the UfM’s convening power.
