Cohesion policy comprises EUR 355 billion of EU budget delivered in 3 funds - ERDF, Cohesion Fund and ESF/YEI. They support investment is a wider range of themes. To understand, monitor and communicate on the policy we use a multi dimensional information system.

This dataset provides information on expected achievements (targets) set for selected common indicators defined for the each of the specific ESI funds and the decided (forecasts from selected projects) and implemented values.

The reference date for the annual reporting of progress by the programmes achievements is the end of each calendar year.
This dataset contains:
- Time series of the cumulative amounts reported annually for decided and implemented values (i.e. 2016 values include the 2015 values);
- To avoid double counting, the cumulative values from different years **should NOT be aggregated**;
- Allows comparison of the targets year on year (targets change with reallocation of financial resources);
- Allows comparison of decided (forecast) and implemented values with the targets set (allowing users to calculate the % rate of progress);
- For ESF / YEI only the implemented values are reported (no decided (forecast) values) and targets were not obligatory in each case.

For more information on the common indicator definitions used by each fund please go to the "Related Information" sections at the bottom of the fund specific pages.

The same data on the **programme specific indicators** (including output and result indicators) is available in this separate dataset: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/2014-2020-Indicators/ESIF-2014-2020-Achievement-Details-ERDF-CF-Program/3de9-gnka

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).

The objective of ESIF Open Data was to make the allocation and use of the investment financing more transparent. This story explains the way we use charts as investment information maps.

The report compares achievements with finances in all ESF CCIs and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Specifically it compares the sum of all successful outcomes indicated by the common result indicators - job-search, being in education or training, gaining a qualification, being in employment upon leaving - with a) the total costs of the selected projects and b) the declared expenditure. The data on common result indicators are taken from Table 2A of the annual implementation reports. The financial data are taken from Table 7 of the AIR.

This report provides an overview and details of the latest version adopted by EC or MS of the Operational Programmes (OP) in SFC2014 Front Office. It also displays the increase/ decrease of the EU Amount between two dates.

EU cohesion policy is strongly aligned to the UN SDGs. This data story allows you to explore the investment contribution of cohesion policy to relevant SDGs.
