The European Social Fund Coordination and Monitoring Authority (EYSEKT) was established in 2001 in order to coordinate the implementation of co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF) interventions in Greece.

In this context, EYSEKT exercised its coordinating role during the 3rd CSF and the NSRF 2007-2013 programming periods, supporting at the same time the work of Operational Programmes with the preparation of studies, the organization of know-how transfer events, the production of tools and information systems.

Today, within the framework of PA 2014-2020, EYSEKT maintains and enhances its role, operating under the National Coordination Authority of the General Secretariat for Public Investments and PA - Ministry of Development and Investments.

The purpose of EYSEKT is:

• to monitor the implementation of ESF policies through actions being realized in the country by 4 Sectoral and 13 Regional Operational Programmes,
• to coordinate the design, the implementation and the evaluation of these actions.

EYSEKT is also a beneficiary of the OP Technical Assistance 2014-2020.
