It supports EU shared management managing authorities and other stakeholders by providing practical know-how and learning tools on financial instruments across the Union.
Financial instruments co-funded by EU shared management funds, such as loans, guarantees, and equity investments, are efficient ways to invest in growth and development across the European Union. These instruments leverage public funding to attract additional private investments, contributing to EU policy objectives like economic growth, job creation, and social cohesion.
fi-compass offers tailored advice on using financial instruments under various EU shared management funds, including the [[European Regional Development Fund]] (ERDF), the [[European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development]] (EAFRD), the [[European Social Fund Plus]] (ESF+), the [[European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund]] (EMFAF), and the [[Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund]] (AMIF). <ref>{{Cite web|title=fi-compass video|url=https://www.eib.org/en/videos/fi-compass|access-date=2024-11-13|website=eib.org}}</ref>
