Poland: a Commission initiative helps low-income regions catch up

As part of the European Commission's tailored assistance to low-growth and low-income EU regions with the help of Cohesion Policy funds, a one-year pilot initiative was implemented in Poland.

Commission and World Bank experts, together with Polish national and local authorities, had been working over the past year on identifying solutions to boost economic development in the low-income regions of Podkarpackie and Świętokrzyskie, in Eastern Poland.
