What is the NSRF?
The National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) is a new document in which member states outline their strategy for spending Structural Funds. It relates to the overall Community Strategic Guidelines which apply to the whole of the EU. The whole process is very closely aligned to the Lisbon agenda and each NSRF has to clearly show how the actions it proposes will further the EU push for competitiveness, growth and more and better jobs with increased social cohesion. The NSRF also provides a policy framework for the more detailed Operational Programmes.
The articles on this page relate to the NSRF as it relates to Northern Ireland.
