Saint-Martin, due to its status as an outermost region (OR) of the European Union, enjoys direct access to several European funds intended to support its socio-economic development.

This funding, essential for our territory, contributes to the implementation of infrastructure projects, the improvement of public services and the strengthening of local capacities, thus ensuring balanced and sustainable growth on the island.

This funding is of a different nature and falls into two main categories of funds: European structural and investment funds (EFSI) and horizontal European programs.

Saint-Martin benefits from the following envelopes over the 2021-2027 programming period:

1. European Regional Development Fund (ERDF): €58.8 million
2. FEDER cooperation under the INTERREG Caribbean program: €4.5 million
3. European Social Fund (ESF): €20.9 million
4. European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD): € 1.9 million
5. European Fund for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (EMFF): €3.1 million

The Collectivité of Saint-Martin works in close collaboration with State services to ensure optimal implementation of these funds and guarantee that each euro invested in the territory produces tangible and beneficial results for the population.
