Spain has an ambitious agenda with regards to improving their management framework for the efficient spending of the green components of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP). Reviving economic activity is a high priority, so developing a comprehensive framework for designing and efficiently managing the resources becomes the building block for all the planning activity. This project aimed to assist Spanish authorities to design, develop and implement reforms, and prepare, amend, implement and revise RRPs pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/241. The different deliverables – provided they are included as part of Spain’s institutional framework – were expected to result in the following outcomes:
1. Establish mechanisms for monitoring and reporting progress on the completion of milestone and targets of the green components of the RRP, as well as an investments management framework for RRP green investments;
2. Adopt sectoral reforms related to waste management at the local level, restoration of coastal wetlands, energy storage and renewable energy.
