EU financial assistance available to local and regional authorities in Mediterranean partner countries

This brochure provides information on the European Union (EU) financial assistance available to local and regional authorities (LRAs) in Mediterranean partner countries (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, occupied Palestinian territory, Syria, and Tunisia) and is an updated and extended revision of the 2013 Committee of Regions (CoR) publication 'The EU funds available for Local and Regional Authorities from the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries: information guide'. It focuses on the key priorities outlined in the Revised European Neighbourhood Policy and endorsed during the second Regional Forum of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) that took place in Barcelona on 23-25 January 2017, such as addressing the challenges brought about by irregular migration, supporting good governance and rule of law, and promoting sustainable socio-economic development in the region.
