The report compares immediate and longer-term direct results with outputs achieved in the YEI programmes. For example, the number of ‘unemployed participants who are in education/training, gain a qualification, or are in employment’’ is divided by the number of unemployed participants. The resulting percentage tells the share of participants who obtained a particular type of result, measured by a common indicator.

The report provides the success rates for all ESF operational programmes (CCIs) and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Data on ESF common result indicators are taken from Tables 2A and 2B; data on ESF common output indicators are taken from Table 4A of the annual implementation reports.

A significant share of Cohesion Policy funds are supporting rural areas and communities. Discover how these funds are channelled and what they are used for.

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

File description: The financial allocations for Thematic Objective (TO) and Fund have been extracted 09/01/2015.

The categorisation system for Cohesion Policy Funds 2014-2020 (ERDF, ESF and Cohesion Fund) foresees 123 Intervention Field codes for the actions or activities financed by the three Funds. The planned allocation to those codes provide detailed thematic / sectoral information on the planned investments by theme.

The planned financial allocations are to be found in this dataset https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/dataset/ESIF-2014-2020-categorisation-ERDF-ESF-CF/9fpg-67a4

This lookup dataset maps the 123 intervention field codes to higher level "cross cutting" themes such as "climate change", "innovation" "enterprise support" and others combinations. It provides the Commission"s recommend list of codes to be used when assessing the financial allocations to these cross cutting themes.
The dataset also identifies the codes that are taken into account for the tracking of Climate change action along with the weightings applied.

Europe is the most visited region in the world. Tourism plays an important role in generating growth and jobs contributing about 10% of EU GDP. EU regional policy supports important sustainable tourism actions.

We are frequently approached by researchers for data on cohesion policy financing broken down using the the NUTS classification. Here we expand on what is and is not available at NUTS level.

As part of the CRII/CRII+ package, at the request of a country, the expenditure declared in 2020-2021 accounting exercise could be financed 100% by EU resources. This option of 100% European co-financing is one of the most popular measures with the majority of modified programmes making use of this possibility.

The data below shows the number modified programmes with 100% EU co-financing in relation to the total number of cohesion policy programmes by country (TC = Interreg programmes). The table also counts the total number of priority exes (investments envelopes) and the number with 100% EU cofinancing.
