The EUSDR Implementation Report 2016-2018 illustrates developments and achievements within the EU Strategy for the Danube Region, focusing on activities at Priority Area level.

Each of the 12 Priority Areas’ achievements are documented along the dimensions of 

1) cooperation & policy embedding,

2) highlights and

3) project implementation & monitoring.

In addition, the report provides information on the Priority Areas’ cooperation within the Steering Groups, with various financing instruments and on cross-cutting activities.

The report also includes two annexes:

• Annex 1 – provides an overview of  the progress made regarding EUSDR actions and targets as defined in the EUSDR Action Plan (reported by the Priority Area Coordinators to the Danube Transnational Programme for 2018).
• Annex 2 – is a collection of good practice projects illustrating the achievements of the Strategy in the reporting period.

The report represents a continuation of the series of implementation reports already published from 2012-2016, merging the previously separate reports per Priority Area into one comprehensive document.
