The System of Support for Projects Co-Financed By EU Funds in the Czech Republic
Abstract
The paper deals with the system of support for projects co-f nanced through European Union funds (structural funds and the Cohesion Fund) which were applied in the Czech Republic during the programming period 2007-2013, both from the point of view of the process of applying for such support and from the point of view of proj-ect implementation. The authors aimed to ana-lyze and evaluate the system from the point of view of the project organizers, identify the prob-lem areas in this system, and propose measures to improve it, which could be usable for speci-f cation of the conditions for the programming period 2014-2020. The paper f rst characterizes the system of support for projects co-f nanced by EU funds applied in the Czech Republic during the programming period 2007-2013. Next, it dis-cusses the outcomes of a questionnaire survey focused on the evaluation of project organizers’ satisfaction with the selected areas of applying for support and project implementation, and on the proposal of possible measures to improve both the system of making an application and project implementation. Finally, the paper spec-if es the measures to be taken to eliminate the problem areas in the system of support for proj-ects co-f nanced by EU funds.
