The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is one of the four European structural investment funds dedicated to the development, competitiveness and attractiveness of regions.
It responds to the EU's cohesion policy, which consists of harmonizing the EU's regions by reducing economic, social and territorial development gaps.

The objective of the ERDF is to promote the development of regions by financing projects linked to innovation, ICT, business competitiveness, energy and the environment.

The ERDF intervenes on European and regional themes previously defined in a framework document called the Operational Program (OP). This is a common OP of Guadeloupe and Saint-Martin FEDER-FSE. Saint-Martin now has an allocation of 38.6 million euros for the period 2014-2020 in order to implement this policy.

This fund is 100% managed by the State. The Prefecture's services have set up the European Funding and Contractual Policies Service (SFEPC) which constitutes the one-stop shop for submitting European aid applications.

Do you have a project and would like to benefit from European aid?

We invite you to consult the available calls for projects which provide information on the European and national orientations implemented at the regional level as well as the DOMO (Implementation Document) which specifies the practical conditions for implementing the ERDF intervention (e.g. . detailed intervention measures, beneficiaries, eligible expenses, managing services, etc.)
