Den tredje komponenten (”Supportfunktion för ekonomisk reform”) innebär KSE-finansiering för stöd till forskning och annan verksamhet som rundabordssamtal, evenemang och konferenser som fungerar som stöd för de första två komponenterna. Syftet är att ha en begränsad, flexibel facilitet som kan användas vid behov efter godkännande av ambassaden.
