is now available in
English,

and

This study provides an update on EU financial assistance available to local
and regional authorities in Mediterranean partner countries (Algeria,
Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, occupied Palestinian
territory, Syria, and Tunisia – for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Turkey please take a look at
this publication). It focuses on the key policy areas outlined in the joint communication
of the European Commission and the High Representative of the Union for
Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, A new Agenda for the Mediterranean.
Policy areas include human development and the rule of law, peace and
security, migration, and the green transition.
The study takes into account the main internal programmes and funds
available to LRAs under the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), which
include Horizon Europe, Erasmus+ and Creative Europe. In the 2021-2027 MFF,
funding for the European Neighbourhood Policy will come predominantly from
the new comprehensive instrument for external programmes, namely the
Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI)
– Global Europe. Thus, this study takes into account the changes in
financial instruments covering cooperation with third countries.
