National Development Program
That's it National Development Program (NDP) enacted by Law 4635/2019 (A΄167) with the aim of adopting an integrated system for the planning, management, monitoring and control of the interventions financed by the national resources of the Public Investment Program (PPE). The EPA introduces medium-term target setting and the subordination of PDE interventions to strategic objectives and prioritized development priorities.
Program Period EPA 2021-2025
The program periods of the EPA have a duration of five years. The start of the first programming period begins on July 1, 2021 with the gradual activation of its individual programs until December 31, 2021. The EPA for the programming period 2021-2025 was approved by the Act of the Council of Ministers no. 38 of 31/8/2020 (A' 174).
Development Goals, Priorities and output indicators for the 2021-2025 EPA
The EPA determines the priorities per policy area in the context of the national development goals, the specific goals and actions, the overall and per program budget, as well as the results sought by its implementation.
In the NDP 2021-2025 they are defined 5 development goals covering five pillars:
- Smart Development
- Green growth
- Social development
- Infrastructure Development
- Extroversion
By policy area, in the framework of the development objectives of the EPA, further specialization is made in priorities. In the EPA they are distinguished as a whole 60 priorities. To Support the Programs, they have been created additional 2 priorities (Administrative Support, Technical Assistance).
An important element of the new PPE planning procedures is the adoption of a system of indicators, in order to strengthen the effectiveness of the monitoring, evaluation and review process of the EPA and the individual TPA and PPA. The indicators include intended results which must have been achieved by the end of the EPA programming period.
The EPA consists of Sectoral Development Programs (SDPs) and Regional Development Programs (RDPs), which are drawn up, respectively, by the competent Ministries and Regions and include the objectives of medium-term development planning in the area of responsibility of the respective body, based on the EPA planning and the allocation of the EPA resources attributed to it.
