Description

The overall aim of the research is to analyse the effectiveness of current and previous ERDF and ESF programmes in order to inform the design of future domestic development programmes so that these are effective in delivering both rural and environmental outcomes.
The Department is seeking to commission research concerning the impact of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the European Social Fund (ESF) dating from 2000 on rural areas and, the effectiveness of those funds in delivering government's environmental priorities. It also wants to obtain learning that could be potentially applied to the design of the delivery mechanisms of future economic development programmes that replace current EU funding programmes - to make these more effective in the attainment of both rural and environmental outcomes.
