In 2012, the World Bank signed five
agreements with MRDPA for advisory services, out of which
one relates to the growth poles policy and to its
improvement for the programming period 2014-2020. This
agreement has three components: 1) an analysis of the growth
poles policy, 2) energy efficiency studies for each growth
pole; and 3) a review of the Integrated Development Plans
prepared by the growth poles for the period 2007-2013. In
this context, South Muntenia Regional Development Agency,
through the coordinator of Ploiești Growth Pole, requested
the World Bank, under a project funded by ERDF through the
Technical Assistance Operational Program 2007-2013, to
support the Growth Pole in implementing the recommendations
stemming from the previous analysis with: 1) updating the
Integrated Development Plan for 2014-2020; and 2) proposing
an improved institutional framework for coordinating the
planning, implementation and monitoring of projects under
this plan. The current document of the Integrated
Development Plan belonging to Ploiești Growth Pole was
developed during the period 2008-2009 and approved and
submitted to South Muntenia RDA in April 2010. It contains a
total number of 93 projects with a total value of RON
5,136,143,583.91, out of which 762,515,322.81 are EU funds,
and the remainder comes from the national budget and the
beneficiaries’ own contribution. In the process of updating
the plan, the implementation status of these projects will
be studied further, while attention will be also given to
the unimplemented projects in order to see whether they will
be included in the documentation, depending on their
response to the new development conditions of the growth pole.
