Cohesion Fund

Cohesion Fund (or CF) is aimed at Member States whose Gross National Income (GNI) per inhabitant is less than 90% of the Community average.

''It aims to reduce economic and social disparities and to promote sustainable development. It serves to reduce their economic and social shortfall, as well as to stabilise their economy. It supports actions in the framework of the Convergence objective. It is now subject to the same rules of programming, management and monitoring as the ESF and the ERDF.''
