Acertain regional role in the decision-making process is played by regional development
agencies which support and aim to stimulate regional economic development
(ca. 70 in the whole country were established in the previous 10 years by the
state and banks, etc.). The agencies support the formulation and implementation
process of regional policy at national, regional and local level. At national level
the Agency for Enterprise Development cooperates with regional development
agencies created in many voivodeships being responsible for the implementation
of regional development programmes.
