European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF)

Over half of EU funding is channelled through the 5 European structural and investment funds (ESIF):

 European regional development fund (ERDF)

 European social fund (ESF)
 Cohesion fund (CF)
 European agricultural fund for rural development (EAFRD)
 European maritime and fisheries fund (EMFF)
They are jointly managed by the European Commission and the EU countries. The purpose of all
these funds is to invest in job creation and a sustainable and healthy European economy and
