The EU provides significant funding to Member States for border management and infrastructure at the EU’s external border. An overview of relevant EU funding is now available online. For the current Multiannual Financial Framework (2021-2027), €6.4 billion will be allocated for border management and visa policy.
In addition, for the same period, €6.4 billion has been earmarked for Frontex, which will reach a capacity of 10,000 border guards. Looking back at the 2014-2020 period, a total of €2.8 billion was allocated to Member States for long-term border management and visa policy projects, under shared management, as well as for emergency assistance.
In addition to the overview made available today, for examples of specific projects, you can consult the website of DG Migration and Home Affairs, including this booklet presenting snapshots of projects funded under the Internal Security Fund.
