Resilience is understood as the ability to respond to external disturbances such as severe recessions and financial crises, downturns of particular industries or major health crises. The Programme encourages actions that help to avoid unwanted external impacts, withstand them or recover quickly from them.

Responsive public services
In relation to a growing complexity of societal challenges, the Programme supports actions that improve organisational set-ups and processes to respond to public needs and to deliver less bureaucratic and more cost-efficient public services.
