Beneficiaries of the ESF can include public organizations, non-governmental organizations, businesses, educational institutions, research centers, and individuals.

The ESF plays an essential role in achieving the EU's objectives of inclusive growth, sustainable development, and quality employment. It contributes to strengthening social and economic cohesion within the European Union by reducing inequalities, promoting social inclusion, and supporting the modernization of educational and vocational training systems.
