EEA funding schemes

EEA funding schemesThe purpose of EEA funding is to contribute towards social and economic equalisation within the expanded EU area and the EEA. In addition, funding is provided to strengthen contact between Norway and the recipient countries via various forms of project cooperation.
 
The EEA funding schemes were established when the EEA was expanded to include ten new countries in May 2004 – Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta. In 2007, the schemes were further expanded to cover Romania and Bulgaria. The EEA/EFTA countries, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, have made total contributions of EUR 1,307 billion to 15 recipient countries from 2004–2009. Norway’s contribution totals approximately NOK 10 billion.
