Ministry of Regional Development

What Ministry of Regional Development does

The Ministry of Regional Development (Ministerstwo Funduszy i Polityki Regionalnej) is a central government ministry of the Republic of Poland, headquartered at Wspólna 2/4 in Warsaw and operating under the Council of Ministers. Established in its current form in 2019, succeeding the Ministry of Infrastructure and Development, it serves as Poland's exclusive managing authority for European Structural and Investment Funds, the National Recovery Plan (KPO), and Norwegian and EEA Financial Mechanisms. The ministry coordinates EU cohesion policy implementation and oversees strategic frameworks including the Strategy for Responsible Development, Strategia Rozwoju Polski do 2035, Koncepcja Rozwoju Kraju 2050, and Krajowa Polityka Miejska 2030 (National Urban Policy 2030). It distributes over €76 billion in available EU and EEA funding to Polish beneficiaries and, as of mid-2026, has signed more than 65,000 KPO agreements worth over 18 billion PLN in the Pomerania region alone.

The ministry's portfolio consists of programmatic portals and policy frameworks rather than commercial products. Core offerings include the Fundusze Europejskie (European Funds) portal (funduszeeuropejskie.gov.pl), the Krajowy Plan Odbudowy (KPO) for post-pandemic recovery, Norwegian and EEA Grants programs, the Program Dostępność Plus accessibility initiative, the Public-Private Partnership framework, Centrum Wsparcia Doradczego (Advisory Support Center), and the Mosty dla Regionów program. Distribution occurs through the unified gov.pl government portal, the mObywatel citizen identity portal, the sign language translator (tlumacz.migam.org), direct institutional grant agreements with voivodeships and municipalities, public consultations, and a citizen hotline (+48 222 500 130). Strategic partnerships anchor the ministry's international mandate: the European Union as primary funding partner, the Norwegian Financial Mechanism and EEA Financial Mechanism as core financial partners, the Council of Ministers for policy alignment, the United Nations for urban policy engagement, and Ukraine reconstruction efforts as an emerging cross-border workstream.

The ministry is funded through state budget allocations and generates no commercial revenue. Its 299 employees deliver public services through an event-driven go-to-market motion — public consultations, periodic grant calls, and policy communications — distributed via gov.pl digital infrastructure and physical service channels. Customer segments are diversified by design: Polish regional and local governments, Polish businesses and entrepreneurs, Polish citizens, and the cultural/NGO sector. The ministry functions as a policy-making and fund-management body within the Polish public administration rather than a commercial technology or product company, with leadership comprising a Minister (Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz), two Secretaries of State, an Under-Secretary of State, and a Director General.

• Czech Ministry of Regional Development (Ministerstvo pro místní rozvoj ČR): Direct peer with a near-identical mandate: manages Czech absorption of EU Structural Funds, cohesion policy, and national regional development strategy. Comparable in scale, governance structure, and program portfolio (EU funds + national recovery/resilience plans).
