“TA” indicates technical assistance objectives and activities.

There is also a common framework of indicators, the elements of which are taken up within the planning documents (RCO codes for Output indicators, RCR for Result indicators).

Rural funds (EAFRD), on the other hand, are organized into 10 areas, which are in turn divided into a hundred or so more specific intervention items: SRA (environment and climate), SRB (natural constraints), SRC (mandatory requirements), SRD (investment), SRE (youth), SRF (risk management), SRG (cooperation), SRH (knowledge exchange), TR (transition spending), AT (technical assistance) and RRN (national rural network).

Note: The programming of the 2021–2027 Structural Funds follows a relatively standard structure, comprising 5 priorities or strategic objectives, broken down into more than 40 specific objectives, which are in turn broken down into 182 areas of intervention. The specific nature of each program is determined by its objectives, areas of intervention, and corresponding financial allocations, which are defined based on the specific characteristics of each territory or target area. The programming of rural development funds (EAFRD) follows a similar structure, but with more specific areas of intervention. 1

On the pages specific to Regional Programs, National Programs, and Rural Funds, a summary framework with essential information about each program is offered.
