Employment and decent work are at the core of sustainable growth. Investing in people goes hand in hand with economic growth and investment.
Investment allows a country’s private sector to boost its development and competitiveness, which in turn creates jobs and deepens trade integration.
At the same time, the economy needs to take into account the green transition and the efforts to be made for countering climate change. It needs to foster responsible consumption and production and promote sustainable lifestyles.
Programmes
We implement programmes around the world wherever assistance is needed. We tailor our support to fit the region or country being helped. Programmes with a global reach allow the EU to provide similar support to countries facing similar problems.

The DeSIRA initiative aims to contribute to climate-relevant, productive and sustainable transformation of agriculture and food systems in low and middle-income countries.
