MEDA is the financial mechanism through which the European Union funds the Barcelona Process. More than 85 percent of its budget (€ 5.3 billion between 2000-2006) is devoted to bilateral programmes designed to help each southern Mediterranean country make the difficult transition towards a modern free market economy. MEDA’s remaining funds go on regional programmes under Barcelona’s three main areas of activity, or ‘chapters’: political and security; economic and financial; social and cultural. In diplomatic language the last chapter translates into a Dialogue between Cultures and Civilisationsthat encourages mutual understanding through programmes in media, youth, information technology, and heritage.
