Managing and implementing the ERDF and Cohesion Fund

Better competencies for better results. A new EU Competency Framework is helping public officials to develop their skills. Managing and implementing the ERDF and Cohesion Fund requires a wide set of operational, professional and management competencies, also going beyond the requirements of the 2014-2020 regulations. In order to support Member State administrations managing and implementing the Funds in evaluating and strengthening these competencies, the Directorate General for Regional and Urban Policy (DG REGIO) has developed the Framework and a web-based Self-Assessment Tool.
