Priority Axes

The European Cohesion Policy for the 2014-2020 programming cycle envisaged eleven Thematic Objectives of which four – 8, 9, 10 and 11 – are pursued through the implementation of the Regional Operational Program of the European Social Fund .

The four Thematic Objectives (TO*) are linked to as many Priority Axes of intervention to which a fifth Axis relating to Technical Assistance is added. Within each Objective, the investment priorities are identified that contribute to achieving, through Specific Objectives (SO*) and in accordance with the principles contained in the regulations and the choices of the Regional Strategic Document (DSR), the concentration of interventions and expenditure. Within each Axis, the Expected Results are identified which descend from the investment priorities, which are achieved through a set of actions, the effectiveness of which is measured by the reference result and achievement indicators.

Each measure issued by the Campania Region, therefore, refers to at least: a Priority Axis and Thematic Objective, an Investment Priority, a Specific Objective, an Expected Result and an Action

* In Italian: TO > OT (Obiettivo Tematico); SO > OS (Obiettivo Specifico)
