Funds operated by the European Union (EU) to improve economic conditions in the poorest regions of member countries. Objective 1 funding, for example, is directed to regions whose per capita GDP is under 3/4 of the EU average. The intention of the Funds is to maintain political support for the EU by convincing people that it is beneficial for all its members, and not only for the more prosperous ‘core’ regions.
