Abstract

Rad se bavi temom povlačenja sredstva iz europskih fondova i načinom na koji se taj proces može učiniti efikasnijim. Stavlja se naglasak na Europski fonda za regionalni razvoj. Analizom procesa pripreme i prijave projekta rad odgovara na istraživačko pitanje koji čimbenici utječu na kapacitet povlačenja sredstava iz Europskog fonda za regionalni razvoj? U sklopu istraživanja napravljeni su intervjui s osobama koje imaju iskustvo pripreme i prijave projekta. Od ispitanika se je tražilo da daju svoj uvid u cijeli proces. Rad počiva na konceptu upravljačkih kapaciteta – analitički, menadžerski i politički. Metodom kodiranja podataka dobivenih iz intervjua zaključilo se je da svaki od kapaciteta u nekoj mjeri koči proces povlačenja sredstva u fazi pripreme i prijave projekta. Ipak, može se staviti naglasak na analitičke kapacitete kao one koji imaju najviše prostora za napredak.

Abstract (english)

The paper addresses the topic of withdrawing funds from European funds and how this process can be made more efficient. Emphasis is placed on the European Regional Development Fund. Through the analysis of the project preparation and application process, the paper addresses the research question: What factors influence the capacity to withdraw funds from the European Regional Development Fund? As part of the research, interviews were conducted with individuals who have experience in project preparation and application. They were asked to provide insights into the entire process. The paper is based on the concept of policy capacities - analytical, managerial, and political. Through data coding, it was concluded from the interviews that each of these capacities to some extent hinders the fund withdrawal process during the project preparation and application phase. However, the focus can be placed on analytical capacities as those with the most room for improvement.
