The overall objective of this study was to explore to what extent alternative delivery mechanisms could improve the implementation of the European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds (or ESI Funds) and their contribution to the achievement of the EU policy objectives in the framework of a result-oriented EU budget.
For the purposes of the study, a delivery mechanism is understood as the set of processes and procedures required to achieve the defined policy objectives and regulate tasks related to the implementation of the EU budget, and, where appropriate, the relationship between the body which is accountable for the implementation of the EU budget and the bodies to which implementation tasks have been delegated.
