This report, produced in collaboration with Za Zemiata and Zelena Akcija, assesses the impact of cohesion policy funding on the capacity and progress of selected central and eastern European countries in building efficient waste management systems, an essential component of the EU’s new Circular Economy Action Plan.

The first part of the analysis focuses on spending allocations in the previous (2014–2020) and current (2021–2027) cohesion policy funding cycles. The second part evaluates the effectiveness of the 2014–2020 cycle spending based on country-level outputs.

This publication is also available in Bulgarian.
