Between 1 January and 23 February 2010, JASPERS has completed 11 assignments. As of 23 February 2010, JASPERS was providing assistance for 443 active assignments. Since late 2006, when it started operations, 251 assignments have been completed.

In 2009, JASPERS responded to the sharp global economic downturn by further explanding its activities on behalf of the twelve beneficiary Member States. Reflecting the recruitment of new staff after a substantial increase in the Commission's financial contribution to the initiative, during the year JASPERS completed 133 assignments, well above the target of 100 completions set for 2009. Assignments were completed in all sectors and countries, with the highest number in the Polish urban infrastructure and services sector (12).  

As of 31 December 2009, there were 430 assignments receiving JASPERS' assistance across all beneficiaries and in all sectors of activity, compared with 280 as at 31/12/2008. Major projects accounted for some 86%, small and horizontal projects for some 7% of the active assignments. 

In 2009 DG REGIO received 144 applications, of which 99 were supported by JASPERS. Among the 54 applications approved during the year, 44 had received  JASPERS' assistance.  

As at 31/12/2009, JASPERS had a staff of 67 experts and 10 support staff. The Commission contributed funding for 46 experts and 10 support staff, the EIB 16 staff years of input, the EBRD three staff-years equivalent and KfW two staff-years equivalent.

The JASPERS portfolio is relatively well balanced between six sectors: roads, railways/ports/airports, water/wastewater, solid waste/energy, urban transport and knowledge economy. In addition, JASPERS deals with horizontal tasks such as providing expertise on public-private partnerships (PPPs), the financial analysis of projects and state aid issues.
