The European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) is the European Union’s main instrument for investing in people. It supports policies and initiatives aimed at improving employment opportunities, promoting social inclusion, combating poverty, and enhancing education and skills across the EU.
As part of the EU’s cohesion policy, the ESF+ merges several earlier funds to streamline support and deliver more impactful results. It targets people most in need including youth, the long-term unemployed, and disadvantaged groups, while also supporting systemic reforms.
