The Ombudsman carried out an initiative into transparency and accountability in the implementation of the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The initiative looked at how the European Commission put in place the transparency and accountability mechanisms in the context of the RRF.

She closed the initiative welcoming the progress made and identifying a number of areas for improvement, so the public can be better informed about how these funds are spent. These included regarding greater transparency for national plans and the recipients of funds in the Member States, as well as how to improve monitoring of the impact of projects. As the public interest surrounding the RRF is likely to remain high for the coming years, the Ombudsman intends to continue to monitor how the Commission ensures the transparency of and supervises the RRF.
