Heading 6 Neighbourhood and the world 2022 commitment appropriations

Heading 6 covers two policy clusters, external action and pre-accession assistance. In 2022, these policy priorities are affected by the Covid-19 crisis, and programmes will therefore focus on supporting partner countries in the area of public health, including vaccination, and on supporting their economic recovery. The instruments under this heading will promote development assistance, humanitarian aid, the EU’s common foreign and security policy, and support for EU candidate countries. They will also tackle issues such as climate change, migration, human rights, democracy and rule of law, and security, as well as the continuing crisis in Syria.
