The National Strategic Files are the main strategic tool for programming in the context of the EDF. These files single out the main procedures for implementing the European development policy in the partner countries.
In this context, the National Indicative Plans (PIN) are a management tool that identify and define the necessary actions to be carried out for attaining the goals that are set out in the National Strategic Files.
PIN identify:
- The sectorial and transversal priorities;
- Financial envelopes;
- The specific goals and results that are expected for each area of co-operation, including perfomance levels;
- Programmes to be implemented for attaining the goals that are set out in the National Strategic Files.
