Background information
The new Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) will provide large-scale financial support to reforms and investments undertaken by Member States. It will help Member States to address the challenges identified in the European Semester, in areas such as competitiveness, productivity, environmental sustainability, education and skills, health, employment, and economic, social and territorial cohesion. It will also ensure an adequate focus of these investments and reforms based on the green and digital transitions.
One of the focused areas for the recovery and resilience intervention is the reform of public administrations, a key factor for economic performance and wellbeing of citizens. An effective, agile and efficient administration is a prerequisite for a country’s sound management and a key driver of growth.
