How EU funds help

The European Union Cohesion Policy Funds aim to gradually reduce disparities between individual regions of the EU Member States, thus improving the everyday lives of all Europeans. Subsequently, European funds also support a variety of worthwhile projects in the Czech Republic, providing funding for better education, healthcare, environment and transport as well as for business projects that contribute to economic growth and employment. In this way European funds help all citizens of the Czech Republic.

In the period from 2014 to 2020 the Czech Republic can draw down around CZK 600 billion from the European funds. In the programming periods from 2004 to 2013 more than 80,000 projects were supported. In the current programming period the contracts concluded with the beneficiaries cover the implementation of more than 120,000 projects.
