Regional development disparities
•
•
Latvia has the 5th largest regional disparities in EU-28 (dispersion
of regional GDP per inhabitant in NUTS 3 regions)
Pronounced monocentric development tendencies – a need for
many centres
Number of companies per 1000
inhabitants, 2012
Personal income tax revenue in
budgets of municipalities per
capita. 2013
Unemployment level, 2014
Population decrease 2009-2014

Lessons learned
In order to tackle regional disparities more efficiently, there
is a need for:
1. Concentration of funding thematically and territorially
2. Territorial programs have to be much more oriented towards
investments in business infrastructure in order to promote
entrepreneurial activity and increase the number of workplaces
and thus address regional development challenges (less
investments in leisure infrastructure)
Sustainable urban development 2014-2020
Regulation on ERDF 2014-2020
Article 7
•
•
•
The ERDF shall support, within operational programs, sustainable urban
development through strategies that set out integrated actions to tackle the
economic, environmental, climate, demographic and social challenges
affecting urban areas, while taking into account the need to promote urbanrural linkages.
At least 5 % of the ERDF resources allocated at national level under the
Investment for growth and jobs goal shall be allocated to integrated actions
for sustainable urban development
Taking into account its specific territorial situation, each Member State shall
establish in its Partnership Agreement the principles for the selection of
urban areas where integrated actions for sustainable urban development
are to be implemented and an indicative allocation for those actions at
national level.

Integrated approach 2014-2020
• Integrated or complementary projects – a set of projects
from several specific objectives, where investments and
results are interrelated
– Business projects - municipalities and entrepreneurs
– Service projects – municipalities and state
• For these projects it is necessary to ensure synchronized
project implementation:
– Synchronized decision project proposals (evaluation of projects
is taking into account interrelatedness of investments )
– Synchronizes decision making time on project proposals
• Central element – Local development program
