Administrative / biographical background

The Structural Funds were monies made available by the European Union and co-funded by Governments and the private sector. There were three Objectives under the funds, with Objective 1 promoting the development and structural adjustment of regions whose development was lagging behind. The programme ran for seven years from 2000 to 2006.

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) responsibility under the programme lay in interpreting EU regulations and ensuring consistency of policy in England between Objective 1 and the England Rural Development Plan, and issuing guidance on scheme management and Programme modifications. Defra also provided policy guidance and IT systems to the Government Offices, the Rural Development Service and the Rural Payments Agency.
