Description
Summary:The aim of this article is to present the plans of the communes of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship identified in the course of the survey regarding their use of EU funds for building their competitive capacity and pursuing their strategic development objectives in the period 2014–2020. The study helped to identify the expected results of the use of EU funds in the financial framework 2014–2020 by the communes of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodship as well as the importance of these funds for the implementation of these communes’ development strategies. The results show that the communes intend to actively seek financial resources made available to Poland for the implementation of the cohesion policy in the period 2014–2020 and use them to achieve the objectives set out in their development strategies. Expectations of the communes regarding the outcomes that they expect to achieve as a result of the implementation of the projects co-financed by the EU, however, seem inadequate when compared to the actual opportunities that these operational programmes create in terms of the implementation of investment projects in 2014–2020. This raises concerns that these resources will not be utilised as efficiently as expected.
