Description
PROGRAMME FACTS
The programme’s mission is to improve the social, economic, and territorial development of the cross-border area by promoting cooperation and resilience to common challenges, such as economic transitions, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic’s long-term socioeconomic consequences.
The programme’s strategic objective is to achieve sustainable development through smart, green, and socially innovative projects that support three EU policy objectives: Smarter Europe, Greener Europe, and More Social Europe. The programme is aligned with the European Green Plan and the United Nations Programme on Sustainable Development until 2030, as well as the European Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) and the European Strategy for the Adriatic-Ionian Region (EUSAIR).
The programme has four key priorities or Priority Axes for the upcoming period: Cooperating for Smarter Programme Area, Cooperating for Greener and Climate Change Resilient Programme Area, Cooperating for Healthier and More Inclusive Programme Area, and Cooperating for More Sustainable and Socially Innovative Tourism and Culture. These priorities reflect the needs and challenges of the programme area, which includes four counties in Croatia and five districts in Serbia, covering over 25,505 km² of territory and more than 2.1 million inhabitants.
The programme’s specific objectives aim to achieve positive changes in the cross-border area, such as reducing disparities and increasing the capacity to recover from economic crises. The programme will focus on a limited set of objectives and policy areas where joint actions can have the most significant impact.
