Priority Axes and Areas of Support of the Regional Operational Programme NUTS 2 South-East
Based on an economic and social analysis, after the evaluation of existing experience with programmes' implementation in the previous programming periods and in compliance with key strategic programming documents of economic and social cohesion policy, three priority axes were determined: transport, tourism and development of urban and rural areas (for more details see the annexes).
The fourth priority axis, Technical Assistance, is designated to ensure activities related to programme management, project and programme monitoring, the elaboration of studies and analyses, programme publicity, the provision of assistance and methodical guidance to potential project proposers, the preparation and implementation of projects within education programmes, etc.
The priority axes divide the Operational Programme into logical units that are further concretised by the so-called areas of support delimitating which projects can be supported within a given priority axis.
