The Technical Support Instrument (TSI) is the EU programme that provides support to EU Member States for their institutional, administrative and growth-enhancing reforms. The technical support is provided in a wide range of policy areas, including but not limited to competitiveness, climate action, digital transition and health. Disaster risk management is an area where support could be provided.

What does it finance?

Areas of support include governance and public; public assets; disaster risk management; energy union and climate issues; sectoral policies; health care; migration and border control.

EU Member States can request technical support under the TSI to implement resilience-enhancing reforms in the context of EU economic governance, such as those arising from country-specific recommendations under the European Semester and by virtue of implementing EU law; prepare, amend, implement and revise national recovery and resilience plans under the Recovery and Resilience Facility; implement economic adjustment programmes; implement reforms undertaken at their own initiative.

The TSI covers activities like studies, legal and policy advice, training, capacity building, and knowledge exchange (e.g. expert missions, peer learning, and workshops).

So far, supported reform projects have covered, for example: Pilot implementation of the National Plan for Integrated Wildland Fire Management in Portugal (see section below on ‘project examples’), improving the operational capacity and efficiency of public administrations, modernising public financial management, reforming tax administrations, developing the digital economy, achieving climate and energy goals, attracting foreign direct investment, and reforming education systems.

The support is demand driven and does not require national co-financing. An EU country wishing to receive support has to submit a request to the Commission, via a national Coordinating Authority. This request has to be submitted by 31 October of each year. The TSI plays a crucial role in the EU's initiative to help Member States mitigate the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.
