Objective 1
Objective 1 aims to help reduce differences in social and economic conditions within the European Union, where prosperity, measured in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), was 75% or less of the European average.
In Wales, Objective 1 covered West Wales and the Valleys (i.e. 15 local authority areas).
Objective 1 is funded through ERDF, ESF, EAGGF and FIFG. Around £1.3 billion of grant funding has been committed to a variety of projects representing a total project investment of £3.2 billion in West Wales and the Valleys.
The programme is delivered and monitored in partnership.
A selection of documents addressing the partnership and implementation arrangements, guidance, and research and progress reports are available by contacting the WEFO Helpline on tel: 0845 010 3355 or email: enquiries-wefo@wales.gsi.gov.uk
