The Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) is the main external action instrument covering EU cooperation with all partner countries, except pre-accession countries and overseas countries and territories. This instrument, which combines a number of instruments under the previous multiannual financial framework, is the EU's main instrument for contributing to poverty eradication and promoting sustainable development, prosperity, peace, people and partnerships. The instrument also covers cooperation on human rights and democracy, peace and stability and other global challenges. Funding from this instrument will also be used to finance actions related to learning mobility to, from or between third countries under the Erasmus+ programme.
