The report refers to the budget years 2020 and 2021 and provides information on the allocation of slightly over 1.050 million EUR worth of environmental and social eligible expenditures.

Regarding the access to essential services, projects like promoting education, social inclusion, health care services, social activation, employment promotion and job training were fostered.
