Cohesion Open Data Platform
The Cohesion Open Data Platform [https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/]
by the European Commission presents aggregated information and
promotes transparency on how funds are being used by the European
Commission to support EU regions in their economic reforms. 

It provides open data on hundreds of national, regional and
interregional programmes with detailed information on cohesion policy
[https://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/2021-2027_en], finances (planned
and implemented), EU payments made to the Member States and agreed
targets.

In the past (2014-2020), the platform has proven to be very valuable
in promoting transparency regarding finances (budget and expenditure).
This is why this October the platform was extended to present the
2021-2027 period and adopted programmes. 

This new version of the platform provides data from 150 adopted
cohesion policy programmes covering more than EUR 110 billion in EU
financing. These are presented on the main platform
[https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/cohesion_overview/21-27] with
pages and interactive charts to best showcase the data by theme,
country and fund.

In addition to this, the updated platform relies on an interactive
data story to present the EUR 308 billion made available under the
Investment for Jobs and Growth (IJG) goal from 22 adopted Partnership
Agreements [https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/4jua-76d5].
This represents 83% of the available cohesion policy budget. 

The platform is a living page as a few of the agreements are yet to be
adopted. The information is daily updated with details on the adopted
programmes. The full investment picture is expected to be available by
early 2023, once all programmes are formalised.

Along with Cohesion Open Data Platform, data.europa.eu also
contributes to promoting data transparency on the EU budget and
cohesion policy. Data.europa.eu has an extensive open data source,
with more than 57 000 datasets on cohesion policy
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?locale=en&minScoring=0&query=cohesion%20policy&page=1].
Most recently, a data story
[https://data.europa.eu/en/publications/datastories/linking-data-kohesio-platform]
related to the topic of cohesion policy and linked open data was also
published.
