Beschreibung

Co-financing investment schemes supported by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in Extremadura within the Spanish Partnership Agreement 2014-2020, with implementation until Dec-2025.

Additionality and Impact

The Project will co-finance the contribution of the the Spanish Autonomous Community of Extremadura (Comunidad Autónoma de Extremadura) to the investments supported under the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2022 of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), one of the European Structural and Investment Funds.

The Project contributes to three of the EIB's primary policy objectives and to the horizontal policy objective of Economic and Social Cohesion.

The Project supports rural development through a broad range of investments, including in basic rural infrastructure and services. It also contributes to the protection and sustainable use of natural resources. Moreover, by supporting SMEs in the agricultural sector, the Project helps to ease financial constraints typically facing SMEs.

Finally, EIB's financing provides the client competitive pricing, longer tenor and flexible loan conditions, such as long grace and disbursement periods, adapted to Project implementation. It also helps Extremadura to diversify its financing sources and provides funding stability.

Ziele

This project will enable the deployment of EU funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) in Extremadura.
