Annex 1: Ex ante assignment of intervention fields to the gender equality dimension codes (based on types of interventions for the ERDF, CF, ESF+ and JTF in the CPR)

Please note: the suggested gender equality marker (coefficient) has been added to the original table. In its programmes, a Member State may propose that a coefficient of 40 % be assigned to an area of support marked with an ‘*’. This table demonstrates the potential relevance of this area of support for gender equality, but an assessment is needed as the tool outlines.
