What wzp does

The Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Zachodniopomorskiego (Marshal's Office of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, branded "Pomorze Zachodnie") is the executive body of the regional self-government for the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in northwestern Poland, headquartered in Szczecin with a branch office in Koszalin. The institution, re-established in 1999 as part of Poland's administrative reform, administers regional public services for approximately 1.7 million residents, including healthcare, education, social policy, transportation infrastructure, environmental protection, agriculture, and cultural policy. It is led by Marshal Olgierd Geblewicz, with Deputy Marshals Jakub Kowalik and Anna Bańkowska, and governance provided by the Regional Assembly (Sejmik).

The office's core operational portfolio consists of three layers. First, it distributes and manages European Union funds, including the Regional Operational Program WZ 2021-2027, multiple Interreg programs (Europa, Europa Środkowa, Południowy Bałtyk, Region Morza Bałtyckiego, VI A MV/BB/PL), and the Krajowy Plan Odbudowy, supported by a Main Information Point for European Funds. Second, it directly operates seven cultural institutions — Zamek Książąt Pomorskich, Opera na Zamku, Teatr Polski, Książnica Pomorska, Morskie Centrum Nauki, Biuro Dokumentacji Zabytków, and Ogrody Przelewice — and co-organizes additional cultural facilities (Muzeum Narodowe, Ośrodek Teatralny Kana, Bałtycki Teatr Dramatyczny). The Pomerania Film fund, co-founded in 2008 with the Cities of Szczecin and Koszalin, has co-produced approximately 150 films with a 7.55 million PLN budget through 2025, including the Oscar-shortlisted "Apolonia, Apolonia." Third, it operates digital public services through ePUAP-integrated e-services, the Public Information Bulletin (BIP), the Regional Spatial Information Infrastructure (sip.wzp.pl), the Rowery WZP cycling platform, and accessibility services including Polish Sign Language (PJM) and Easy-to-Read (ETR) content.

As a regional government institution, the Marshal's Office is funded through the regional budget (regional taxes, central government allocations, and own revenues) plus EU and other external funds. It does not charge for most public services; any administrative fees are regulated by law. The office serves citizens, local governments (gminas and powiats), businesses, NGOs, healthcare and educational institutions, and cultural organizations across the voivodeship, with go-to-market executed through direct service delivery, e-services, in-person information points, and managed cultural venues.
