Approach to JP in development
Team note
Joint programming in STP is still in an embryonic state. However, Portugal's sectors of intervention and objectives are in line with EU priorities, notably the social sectors and governance. It is therefore possible to foresee an intensification of cooperation efforts with the aim of developing a joint implementation action plan at the time of the MIP review in 2024.
First step towards kicking-off a joint programming process in the near future.
The EU and Portugal are present in-country and their areas of interest converge:
(1) poverty eradication and food security,
(2) health and education services,
(3) climate change and biodiversity,
(4) social protection,
(5) justice / police reform, capacity building, and support to NGOs.
