Helping Member States with their reform agenda

On 15 January 2025, the closing event of the multi-country project "Building Capacities for Effective Communication of the Benefits of the Recovery and Resilience Plans" funded by the European Commission took place.

On 15 January 2025, the closing event of the multi-country project "Building Capacities for Effective Communication of the Benefits of the Recovery and Resilience Plans" funded by the European Commission under the Technical Support Instrument took place. 

During the project, 8 Member States: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Latvia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania and Spain, received technical support to enhance their capacities to effectively communicate with stakeholders, the media and the public on the implemented reforms and investments included in their Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs). 

The project has created a successful and dynamic network of Member States working together and learning from one another on how to address common challenges and to ensure maximum impact when implementing communication strategies for their RRPs. This, therefore, contributed to the successful implementation of their RRPs.

 

Context

As a response to the COVID-19 unprecedented crisis, the European Union has put forward the most ambitious plan for rapid economic and social recovery – NextGenerationEU. The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU, has helped our economies and societies to emerge stronger and more resilient from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To benefit from support under the RRF, EU governments have submitted Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs), outlining the reforms and investments they will implement by the end of 2026.  

The Technical Support Instrument is the European Commission’s key tool for supporting Member States in designing and implementing growth-enhancing and inclusive reforms. From healthcare, to sound public finances, from the digitalisation of education and public services, to strengthening the business environment and the financial sector, the Technical Support Instrument supports EU Member States with their reform agenda.
