Central Project Management Agency

What Central Project Management Agency does

Central Project Management Agency (CPVA, VšĮ Centrinė projektų valdymo agentūra) is a Lithuanian public institution established in 2003 (operations from 2004) and headquartered in Vilnius at S. Konarskio g. 13. It serves as Lithuania's central implementing agency for European Union structural funds, international donor programmes, and national investment programmes, administering 12 major programmes with a combined value exceeding €14.9 billion. The agency operates two principal business lines: domestic programme administration (EU Funds 2021–2027, New Generation Lithuania, Ignalina Programme, Road Maintenance, Cybersecurity, Connecting Europe Facility, Border Management, EEA/Norwegian and Swiss Cooperation programmes) and international development cooperation, with projects in 30+ countries spanning Eastern Partnership, Balkans, Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Its customer base is overwhelmingly governmental — Lithuanian ministries, municipalities, the Police Department, State Border Guard Service, Migration Department, and international partner institutions — plus NGOs, businesses, and research institutions applying for development cooperation funding.

CPVA's service portfolio is delivered through a portfolio of proprietary and EU-mandated information systems: INVESTIS (EU investment administration), SFMIS2014 (2014–2020 ES structural funds subsystem), VSFIS (Internal Security Fund), VSFSVVP IS (border management/visa policy), and the Submittable electronic application platform for calls for proposals. Service lines include end-to-end programme management (design, application intake, evaluation, contracting, monitoring, reporting), methodological support for public investment management and public-private partnerships, and a paid EU Twinning Training Programme (€650–€750 per participant). The Ukraine support track — including Business Partnerships (up to €300,000 per project), Children First protection (up to €600,000), the De-mining Coalition, and the Civil Protection Shelter Coalition — represents a material strategic focus.

As a government agency, CPVA is funded through Lithuanian state budget allocations and operates as a managed-services administrator rather than a commercial enterprise; it does not charge for core programme administration services and does not disclose revenue. Distribution is direct to government bodies under institutional mandates, with self-serve application intake via Submittable for NGOs, businesses, and academic applicants. Marketing channels are institutional: official website (cpva.lt) in Lithuanian and English, newsletter, social media (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube), events/forums, and formal calls-for-proposals announcements.

Direct peers

• SlovakAid (Slovak Agency for International Development Cooperation): Slovakia's bilateral development agency implementing Slovak-funded development projects and Twinning. Similar scale, EU member-state status, and bilateral project-management model to CPVA's international development arm.
• Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV): Estonia's national development cooperation agency. Operates as Estonia's direct counterpart to CPVA, administering development cooperation projects, Twinning, and EU program support with a similar Baltic small-state government-agency model.
• Czech Development Agency (ČRA): Czech bilateral development agency managing Czech-funded projects in priority countries. Comparable to CPVA's international development cooperation portfolio — Twinning, project implementation, donor coordination — for a different EU member state.
• Polish Aid (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland): Poland's bilateral development cooperation program. Comparable in that it channels state-budget-funded development projects, EU instruments, and Eastern Partnership support through a centralized coordination unit similar to CPVA.
• Latvian Investment and Development Agency (LIAA): Latvia's government agency for investment and development. Most directly comparable Baltic peer in terms of EU funds administration, structural and cohesion fund management, and business-development mandates administered to a national government.
• Central Finance and Contracting Agency (Latvia, CFCA): Latvian counterpart specifically focused on EU funds administration and financial-flow management. Most directly comparable peer to CPVA's domestic EU funds administration and structural-fund intermediary role.

Broad incumbents

• Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad): Norway's development cooperation agency. CPVA administers the EEA/Norwegian Financial Mechanisms in Lithuania, making Norad and Norwegian MFA funding the upstream origin of programs CPVA implements.
• European Commission DG REGIO (Regional and Urban Policy): Manages EU Cohesion Policy and the European Regional Development Fund — the EU structural funds that CPVA administers in Lithuania. Comparable at the policy-and-budget layer that CPVA implements domestically.
• European Commission DG INTPA (International Partnerships): EU-level directorate that funds and shapes much of the programming CPVA administers. Comparable as the upstream donor/policy authority CPVA executes against, with broader geographic scope and budget.
• European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA): EU executive agency administering EU programs on behalf of the Commission. Comparable to CPVA in the role of an intermediary program-administration entity executing EU funding instruments at scale.
