== Abstract ==

​

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.
