 Community Initiatives

Beyond priority objectives, during the 90s, the European Union has conceived the "community initiatives": four specific programmes seek common solutions to specific problems within the European Regions.

These initiatives benefit from 5.35% of the Structural Funds and are financed, each, under a single Fund:

> INTERREG: it encourages cross-border, transnational and interregional cooperation, through alliances that go beyond borders, in order to favour a balanced planning of multi regional territories. The Programme is financed by the ERDF.

> LEADER+: aims to gather the socio-economic actors of the rural regions in order to stimulate new local strategies of sustainable development. The Programme is financed by the EAGGF-Guideline.

> URBAN II: it supports mainly innovative actions in declining urban areas or cities. The Programme is financed by the ERDF.

> EQUAL: it means to combat inequalities and discriminations in access to the labor market. This initiative is financed by the ESF (European Social Fund).


"Innovative actions" have been finally created in order to facilitate dynamism and innovation within the European regions. These activities aim to create new strategies and experimental phases of projects.
