Calls for grant applications under the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan
The goal of Spain’s Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan is to accelerate economic and social recovery following the COVID-19 crisis and to boost growth potential in the medium and long term. The aim is to create the right conditions—through reforms and investments—so that European funds are used as efficiently as possible and have the greatest possible impact.
The Plan has been developed around four cross-cutting themes—the green transition, digital transformation, territorial and social cohesion, and gender equality—which must be taken into account when designing all policies.
It is structured around ten key policies that define the bulk of investments in areas ranging from the urban agenda, the fight against depopulation, and agricultural development, to the modernization and strengthening of the tax and pension systems, as well as improvements to infrastructure and ecosystems, education, science, and business modernization, among others.
These ten lever policies, in turn, comprise 30 components or lines of action—ranging from regulatory measures to initiatives to boost investment—that enable investment programs and reforms to be coordinated in a coherent manner.
Each component will explicitly contribute to the Plan’s overall objectives and the four cross-cutting themes. Similarly, each component focuses on a specific challenge or objective and includes reforms and investments that will help achieve those objectives or address those challenges. For each component, intermediate targets and milestones, expected outcomes, the number of beneficiaries, and the detailed cost of each element have been identified.
In short, it is a clear roadmap for addressing the challenges facing our country, which responds to the specific recommendations of European institutions and to the assessments conducted by our own institutions, social partners, and civil society organizations—gathered, among other channels, through sectoral conferences, social dialogue groups, and expressions of interest.
