Flemish Resilience

Flemish Resilience makes Flanders resilient. The Government of Flanders’ ambitious investment plan ensures the transition to a sustainable and digital economy and is investing in people and talents. In this way, Flanders is ready for tomorrow.

The recovery plan is divided into 7 key focal points, 36 clusters and 181 projects. The progress of these projects was reported on for the first time in March 2021. Two more reports followed in September and December of that same year. Two measurements were carried out in 2022, in June and December. In 2023 and 2024, one measurement took place, each time in December.

159 projects are funded through the one-off recovery funds totalling €4.3 billion. The previous Government of Flanders released recovery funds for 22 projects through existing and additional regular funding. Therefore, only the 159 projects funded through one-off recovery funds are further included in the monitoring.

December 2024 Progress Report

The implementation of the Flemish Resilience Recovery Plan is still on track. This seventh measurement is the first of the current government’s term of office.

Compared to the previous measurement of 31 December 2022, clear progress has been made again. In addition, a growing number of projects have been completed.

53 of the 159 projects in this monitoring have been completed, which is exactly one-third of the projects and 25 completed projects more than in the previous measurement.

58% of the projects (92) are in progress and on schedule.

Only three projects were discontinued (two of them had already been discontinued in the previous measurement).

Two projects require attention; nine require action.

In 2024, commitment appropriations hardly changed, totalling €4.164 billion or 96.78% of the recovery funds initially envisaged. Settlement appropriations experienced another substantial increase of €890 million: from €2.16 billion at the end of 2023 to €3.05 billion in late 2024, which is 70.89% of the recovery funds initially envisaged.
