The Norwegian and EEA funds represent Norway's contribution to a green, competitive and inclusive Europe.
Through the Norwegian and EEA Funds, Norway contributes to reducing social and economic inequalities and strengthening bilateral relations with beneficiary countries from Central and Southern Europe and the Baltic Sea area.
Norway cooperates closely with the EU under the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
Together with other donors, Norway provided €3.3 billion in successive fund programmes between 1994 and 2014.
The Norwegian funds are exclusively funded by Norway and are available in the countries that joined the EU after 2003. The Norwegian funds for 2014-2021 amount to €1.25 billion.
