REGIONAL POLICY
• Regional policy is important part of public policy
• Regional policy is consisting of vertical and horizontal, which includes many sectors policies, themes
• „two regional policies“:
• Regional policy of European Union
– Lithuania in the context of EU regional policy is one NUTS II region
• National regional policy
• These regional policies are combined as much as possible for seeking sinergy and most effective results
Provisions of 2007–2013
REGIONAL POLICY: INSTITUTIONS• Government– Making strategic decisions: approves priorities of national regional policy, composes National Regional
Development Council, approves criteria for problem territories, approves list of problem territories; strategies and inter-institutional programmes in field of regional development)
• Ministry of Interior– Coordination of national regional policy: approves target ministerial programmes, heads National Regional
Development Council, prepares draft inter-institutional programmes, and etc.
• National Regional Development Council– Consultative body, consisting of representatives of ministries, chairs of regional development councils,
social and economic partners. All main decisions before approval within the Government must be discussed within Council.
• Regional Development Councils– Making strategic decisions at regional level: approves regional development plans, list of projects to be
financed from structural funds and etc. Consists of mayors and members of municipal councils of the region as well as one representative of appointed by the Government
• Regional Development Department under the Ministry of Interior– performing functions of secretariat of regional development councils, drafting regional development plans
PROGRAMME ON REDUCTION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DISPARITIES
• Approved by the Government
• 2,5 billion Litas (apprx. 725 MEUR) for its implementation allocated for years 2007-2013 (EU structural funds, EEA and Norway grants, national and municipal budgets)
• Has vertical (growth centres, problem territories and rural areas) and horizontal (projects selected by the regional councils) approach
• Detailed via problem territories development programmes and regional economic growth centres complex development investment programmes
• Main objective – to reach that in all counties (regions) unemployment rate would not be higher than 135 percent of country’s average and average monthly income of inhabitants would not be less than 75 percent of country’s average in 2013

LESSONS LEARNT
• As Lithuanian municipalities are rather big, problem territories covering territory of whole municipality are not effective
• Complex development makes biggest added value for development of territories
• Big cities also face challenges due to their unequal internal development
• Regional development councils should be strengthened
• More active participation of municipalities in regional development is needed
INTEGRATED TERRITORIAL DEVELOPMENT 2014–2020
Regional dimension of EU support 2014–2020
• Integrated approach at national level – coordination of actions between sectoral institutions via Regional development interinstitutional action plan (1040 MEUR for regional planning/and URBAN (ITI‘s), 15,1 percent ofstructural support);
• Integrated approach at regional level – coordination of actions between municipalities and other actors via regional development plan, approved by the Regional development council;
• Regional development council shall continue with pre-selection functions of local and regional projects

Integrated territorial investments (ITI)
URBAN challenges:
o Larger urban centres of Lithuania in past 10 years attracted
significant flows of internal migration, which led to increasing social
problems (including alcohol, drug abuse and crime rates) within
deprived neighbourhoods, also emigration to the foreign countries
and spread of cities into suburban territories, which leads to
unsustainable and costly use of urban infrastructure.
o Smaller cities suffer from severe depopulation (decrease of
population during 2006–2013 – 13.3 percent), ageing, insufficient
share of services in economic structure and low economic activity
(which limits youth employment possibilities and deepens
demographic challenges).
URBAN challenges:
o Interventions in the 2014-2020 period will primarily seek to increaseterritorial cohesion within regions, maximizing labour force potentialof subregional territories (deprived territories within bigger cities andmedium-small cities, facing specific challenges)
o One of key conditions to achieve this goal – is to utilize cross-sectoralapproach for integrated investments in the urban infrastructure.
Territorial scope of ITI in LT (I)
The territorial scope of ITI and CLLD implementation in urban areas:• 5 biggest cities, concentrating on: socially, economically
isolated, confronting environmental problems and material deprivation areas (neighbourhoods) (30-40 thus. inhabitants)
• Small and medium sized towns (over 6000 inh. and centres of municipalities, except 5 biggest) facing lower economic activity, employment diversity and demographic challenges
Specific target areas are selected according set of criteria, specific to each group.
Territorial scope of ITI in LT (II)
• 5 biggest cities – 1 ITI programme per city (1 or 2 target territories+adjacend territories)
• Small and medium sized towns – 1 ITI programme per region (10 programmes)
Selection of target territories
Specific target territories are selected according set of criteria or principals, specific to each group.
Bigger cities (URBAN/SUD/ITI)
5 biggest cities selected their target areas (30-40 thus. inhabitants) accordingprincipals set in PA (deprived neighbourhoods / sustainable development / employment / quality of life issues+potentials);
Small and medium cities (ITI)
23 target territories (small and medium towns) were selected by Ministry of Interioraccording to criteria:
• low economic activity;
• imbalanced economic structure (high dependence on raw materials or manufacturing) and low economic diversity (which does not allow for sufficient employment in the city or regional territory);
• significant depopulation due to migration or insufficient demographical change.
20 transition (phasing out) territories.

2014-2020
•Integrated territorial development programmes (urban strategies) shall be
drafted by municipalities in cooperation with national, regional authorities and
local institutions (incl. ministries, universities, territorial labour exchanges, other
public subjects), social and economic partners and local community.
•Programme sets out list of operations and provisional guidelines for community
led local development strategies.
Participation of Urban authorities
Urban authorities role in ITI according ERDF regulation, Article 7
City (municipality) role:• selects target area(s), which the ITI program will be designed
for (in 5 bigger cities);• drafts the ITI program according to ITI guidelines (adopted by
Ministry of Interior );• Involves national, regional, local authorities and
social/economic partners while drafting the ITI program;• Involves local communities to set the list of operations and
provisional guidelines for CLLD strategies in the program(bottom-up approach)
• implements ITI program and submits the reports about results
Financial allocations1. Not less than 5 percent of ERDF shall be allocated for integrated
sustainable urban development actions – dealing with problems of economic, social, environmental (including climate change) an demographic character (implementation model – ITI, territory – 5 biggercities);
2. ITI shall be financed from at least 2 priority axes –
URBAN type actions – promoting employment and supporting labour mobility; (ERDF)
CLLD – promoting social inclusion and combating poverty (ESF);

ITI model
Integration of actions in ITI programs
Sectorial integration (horizontal): is about ‘joining up’ different policy sectors andtheir associated actors within a selected areas. Two dimensions can bedistinguished: 1) cross-sectoral integration between different policy areas, whichcan operate at a territorial scale; 2) stakeholder integration between public,private and voluntary sector.
Territorial integration (vertical): some developments of territorial structures orsystems which are planned under ITI program due to their positive or negativeexternalities, internal territorial relations and complexity of their nature cannotbe easily split up into different parts and attributed to the sectorial institution andinvestment priority.
As horizontal integration is not always sufficient to tackle cross cutting issues, it should also include vertical integration – the instrument for that is ITI program
THEMATIC OBJECTIVE 8/PRIORITY AXIS 78. Promoting employment and supporting labour mobility
INVESTMENT PRIORITY:
b. (7.1) supporting employment friendly growth through the development of endogenous potential as part of a territorial strategy for specific areas, including the conversion of declining industrial regions and enhancement of accessibility to and development of specific natural and cultural resources.
Specific objective 7.1.1: To diversify economic activities and improve conditions for attracting investment in support of job creation in target territories (urban areas)
FUND: European Regional Development Fund
Investments under investment priority 7.1
Are allocated to target territories
Cover a range of investments to be made in a particular area, with the aim - to promote employment friendly urban regeneration and growth.
Investments attributable to urban development must be:
• Concentrated in the area;
• Focused on the essential problems of the area;
• Integrated with other investments (incl. private) made (and/or) soft measures implemented in that area;
• Having a strong territorial integration dimension within a single action.
Investments under investment priority 7.1 (315 MEUR):• Conversion of under-used or abandoned infrastructures and
territories, creating conditions to attract new commercial activities, adapting them social and cultural infrastructure, community activities.
• Modernisation of public spaces by forming additional or new, or strengthening the existing, urban attraction centres by making use of the elements of the nature frame, cultural heritage, urban structures and landscape that shape local identity
• Improvement of the living environment in residential districts, by setting up or renovating small-scale community infrastructure, cleaning the environment, investing in green infrastructure and accessibility of these territories (e.g. walking and cycling paths).
• Formal and informal education
• Social services (community services)
• Health (of targeted groups)
• Employment and business, R & D, creative industries, green technologies, social business
• Multiflat housing renovation
• Basic infrastructures, transport, sustainablemobility
• Modernization of social infrastructures
• Actualization of herritage
• Envinronmental engineerig
Suplementing actions:
CLLD as a part of URBAN and ITI
o Use of CLLD in urban areas is seen as a possibility of bettercoordination of „soft“ and „hard“ ITI based instruments forsustainable urban development and to achieve the highestvalue–added and efficiency of public investments in urbanareas.
o Basic urban infrastructure is maintained/developed by publicauthorities/enterprises, though shall not be an object of CLLD
To make it more complicated
5 bigger cities:
ITI = sustainable urban development, CLLD –obligatory part of SUD and ITI;
Medium and small cities:
ITI ≠ sustainable urban development (althoughuses same principles and planningmethodology), CLLD – mandatory part of ITI.
Example: ITI program of Klaipėda city
Target territory selected in Klaipėda
• target territory – 233 ha related territory – 510 ha

Program target - Creating favourableenvinronment for SMEs
Coherent projects, which helps to reach the target:1) Culture factory (already operational)+2) Construction of a new drawbridge through Dane and access
arrangements in the northern coast of the Dane river (priority axis 7),Dane square reconstruction+
3) Dane river waterfront reconstruction inducing small scale businesses (priority axis 7)+
4) Renovation of residential quarter (lighting system and buildingrenovation via financial instruments) and public spaces (targetterritory) (priority axis 5,7)+
5) Construction of Bastions st. section, reconstruction of the junction of the Old market (priority axis 6)+
6) Cultural connections program (national financing)+7) target business support (creative and cultural industries) self-
employment (individual training and advice on new business development and management) (priority axis 3, 8 (CLLD), nationalfinancing)
Impact of the set of projects to integrated urban development
• Provides a link between 2 key core parts of a city – historical centre and the new commercial centre, joins up potentials
• Increases attraction of a territory for private investments, creates a “honey-pot” for local residents (new opportunitiesfor SMEs)
• Increases desirability and improves living conditions in thetarget area
• Removes transport bottleneck in the historical city centre (noise, pollution, CO2)
• Improves accessibility to the target area
THEMATIC OBJECTIVE 9/PRIORITY AXIS 8:
promoting social inclusion and combating poverty
INVESTMENT PRIORITY:
(vi)/8.6 Community-led local development strategies
Specific objective 8.6.1: Improve local employability and enhance social
integration of communities, by making use of relationship among local
communities, businesses and local governments

CLLD implementation in rural areas (under 6000 inhabitants, except municipal centres )
Fund – EAFRD
Possibility of combination of two instrumentsavailable for sustainable urban development - ITIand CLLD - to achieve the highest value – added andefficiency of public investments in the urban areas.
Encouraging local rural communities to participate in solving local development problems.
Successful implementation of some initiatives may/will need tocross physical boundaries of cities, towns, fisheries regions andrural areas.It is also important to encourage sharing of experience whileimplementing all types of strategies.Therefore it is advisable to designate part of funding (5-10percent) to implement cooperation activities.
