The 2014-2020 ERDF and Cohesion Fund programmes saw reinforced use of common indicators to measure investment outputs. How does the system work?

This data set is built from the detailed achievement dataset to show an EU overview of target values for achievements (i.e. common indicators).

Please refer to this parent data set for a more explanation of the nature of the data: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/EU-Level/ESIF-2014-2020-Achievement-Details/aesb-873i

The report compares immediate and longer-term direct results with outputs achieved in the YEI programmes. For example, the number of ‘unemployed participants who are in education/training, gain a qualification, or are in employment’’ is divided by the number of unemployed participants. The resulting percentage tells the share of participants who obtained a particular type of result, measured by a common indicator.

The report provides the success rates for all ESF operational programmes (CCIs) and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Data on ESF common result indicators are taken from Tables 2A and 2B; data on ESF common output indicators are taken from Table 4A of the annual implementation reports.

The definitions set by Commission guidance - https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/sources/docoffic/2014/working/guidance_monitoring_eval_en.pdf - for the common indicators used in 2014-2020.

This dataset provides information on expected achievements (targets) set for selected common indicators defined for the each of the specific ESI funds and the decided (forecasts from selected projects) and implemented values.

The reference date for the annual reporting of progress by the programmes achievements is the end of each calendar year.
This dataset was extracted on **12 December 2017** and contains:
- Time series of the cumulative amounts reported annually for decided and implemented values (i.e. 2016 values include the 2015 values);
- To avoid double counting, the cumulative values from different years **should NOT be aggregated**;
- Allows comparison of the targets year on year (targets change with reallocation of financial resources);
- Allows comparison of decided (forecast) and implemented values with the targets set (allowing users to calculate the % rate of progress);
- For ESF / YEI only the implemented values are reported (no decided (forecast) values) and targets were not obligatory in each case.

For more information on the common indicator definitions used by each fund please go to the "Related Information" sections at the bottom of the fund specific pages.
