Partnership Agreement and Operational Programme for the Implementation of European Cohesion Policy 2014-2020
The European Cohesion Policy was the main investment policy of the European Union. With its help, we implemented numerous projects that significantly contributed to faster development. Its implementation was based on key programming documents - primarily the Partnership Agreement between Slovenia and the European Commission for the period 2014-2020.
In the 2014-2020 programming period, a total of EUR 4.1 billion was available for cohesion policy measures across all funds, with funding allocated to five priority areas. In the 2014-2020 period, cohesion policy is financed by three funds:
- European Regional Development Fund (ERDF): EUR 2,078,899,479
- European Social Fund (ESF): EUR 911,667,871
- Cohesion Fund (CF): EUR 1,075,349,292
In the OP 2014-2020, Slovenia did not include regional development as an independent priority, but highlighted the regional level in some priority axes and measures, while in some areas these are defined exclusively at the national level. Consideration of the regional context was detected in 6 axes out of 11, namely:
-
(2) Improving access to information and communication technologies and increasing their use and quality,
-
(5) Promoting climate change mitigation, prevention and adaptation, and risk prevention and management,
-
(6) Protecting the environment and promoting the efficient and sustainable use of resources,
-
(7) Promoting sustainable transport and removing bottlenecks in key network infrastructures,
-
(8) Promoting employment and labour mobility,
-
(11) Improving institutional capacity and efficient public administration.
