The North-West Regional Operational Program (POR North-West) 2021-2027, carried out by the North-West Regional Development Agency (ADR North-West), was approved by the Government of Romania during the meeting on Thursday, May 26, and later it was sent to the European Commission for verification and approval.

"The memorandum of the Romanian Government for the approval of the North-West Regional Operational Program 2021-2027 irrevocably represents the start of the decentralization of non-refundable funds in Romania. ADR Nord-Vest will administer the program as the Management Authority. Until now, for its preparation, the agency developed the strategy and all the preparatory documents, negotiated its structure and contributed to the correlation of the policy objectives of the European Union with the needs identified in the communities of the North-West Development Region", said the Interim Director General of ADR Northwest, Mrs. Livia Sanda Cătană.

The North-West Regional Operational Program 2021-2027 has a proposed EU allocation of approximately 1.194 billion euros, and the national co-financing will be approximately 242.67 million euros. The program aims to stimulate innovation, intelligent and sustainable growth of the economy in order to reduce disparities and increase the standard of living by capitalizing on local diversity.

Until the official launch of the North-West Regional Operational Program 2021-2027, ADR North-West will continue to prepare the guidelines for all investment priorities within the program and will organize public consultations dedicated to potential beneficiaries.
