* Indicates Eligibility for Warsaw Initiative Funds (WIF)

What is WIF? Most Partner nations would not be able to participate in any PfP activities without financial assistance.  In July 1994 the United States established the Warsaw Initiative Funds (WIF) to help America's new democratic partners and to "jump start" Partner PfP participation with an infusion of readily available funds.  In general, the goals of WIF are to promote interoperability with NATO; increase the level of participation in PfP exercises; and support efforts to deepen defense and military cooperation between the United States, NATO, and their PfP Partners.
