Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI)
Zsolt SZOKOLAICC Inclusive growth, urban and territorial development
European CommissionDG Regional and Urban Policy
Urban (and area-based) development• Integrated
• with a global and comprehensive vision of the city
• taking into account the need to improve the economic performance, the eco-efficiency and social cohesion of the city
• assuring citizens’ quality of life and welfare in all the existing communities and neighbourhoods of the city
• Participative• involvement in urban development through citizen participation
• URBAN ex-post: successful projects are the participative ones
• Inclusive• Reduce social polarisation by paying special attention to deprived
neighbourhoods within the context of the city as a whole
• ‘Integrated’ also refers to ‘inclusive’: inclusive shared project of coexistence, to combat social exclusion and spatial segregation
Reinforced urban dimension of the Cohesion policy• "Cities should be in the heart of the debate" – Cannot achieve
our goals without cities
• Increase role of cities in the delivery of our policy objectives
• Involve in programming and implementation
Proposing tools for sustainable territorial development
• Need for addressing territorial challenges
• We offer flexible tool to facilitate integrated approach
• Thematic objectives – linked to Europe 2020
• Priority axes: correspond to one or more investment priorities of a thematic objective
Integrated sustainable urban development strategies
Setting out integrated actions to tackle
•Economic•Environmental•Climate•Social•Demographic challenges (EP position)
Article 7 ERDF
Implementation tools for integrated actions for SUD strategies
• Multifund OP (priority axes funded by different funds)• New territorial tools to implement integrated
strategies• ITI, CLLD, Multi-objective priority axes
• URBACT: capacity building to improve performance on CP implementation
• Urban Development Platform: dialogue on the use of new territorial instruments
• Urban Innovative Actions: try new ideas

Minimum 5% of ERDF for integrated urban development
with Urban authorities responsible for implementation
OP
Multi-objective
priority axis
Sustainable urban development – 5% is just the minimum
At least 5% of ERDF under Investment for jobs and growth goal for SUD with Urban authorities responsible for implementation (at least selection of operations)
May be implemented
through an operational programme
through multi-objective priority axes
through ITI
5% is linked to the involvement of cities, not to the use of one particular implementation tool
No direct relations between the content of ITI and the urban-specific priorities
Urban and inclusive investment priorities of ERDF• 4(c) supporting energy efficiency and renewable
energy use in public infrastructures and in the housing sector;
• 7(c) promoting sustainable urban mobility• 8(b) local development initiatives and aid for structures
providing neighbourhood services to create new jobs• 9(b) support for physical and economic regeneration of
deprived urban and rural communities;• 11 enhancing institutional capacity and an efficient
public administration
ITI – how does it work? ITI is an implementation tool of an urban development
strategy or other territorial strategy or pact, which requires integrated approach – Ex-Article 99(1) CPR
Bundle funding from different priority axes and programmes (ERDF, ESF, CF), may be complemented with financial support from EAFRD and EMFF
For a functional area at the appropriate territorial scale
More than one priority axis of one or more OPs
MA may designate one or more intermediate bodies to carry out the management and implementation of an ITI
ITI – what are the advantages? ITI secures various funding streams at its inception –
allow a greater degree of certainty and predictability for implementation
Selection of operations: not nesessarily competitive (calls for proposals), can be negotiated programming
Potential synergies (using different funds in a timely, strategic way) may lead to better aggregate outcome
Delegation of management has the potential to empower the sub-regional actors by insuring their involvement from the beginning of the programme
Increased ownership of strategy and actions
ITI – interventions
Intervention logic – Matrix of territorial and thematic objectives
Interventions under ITI should contribute to the objectives of the corresponding investment priorities and to the objectives of the territorial strategy
Scope
What for? instead of What?
Determined by the territorial strategy and the investment priorities of the priority axes contributing to ITI
Forms of support
Can be grant, FI. CLLD can part of it
ITI is to implement (tipically parts of a) territorial strategy with
VisionDescribe the elements of the intended territorial change
StrategyBased on the development needs of the territory
Logical link between planned operation and intended change
Identify corresponding thematic priorities for each operation
Coherent and cohesive with the synergies between planned actions considered and presented
Result indicator related to main territorial objective of strategy
Implementation arrangements, including possible delegation
If appropriate, assessment of capacity for implementation
ITI –coherence with programmes
Territorial strategy should be coherent
With the integrated approach to territorial development of the PA
With the territorial approach of the programme (or programmes)
Critical size: Appropriate investment priorities (based on development needs of the territory) and proportionate financial allocation
Ensuring an appropriate governance arrangement
When to use ITI? There is an integrated territorial strategy
Territorial strategy can have thematic focus (e.g. Urban mobility plan)
Complex sectoral policy: design the priority axis accordingly
OP divided on sub-regional level: in principle possible. Functional territory?
Implementation requires integrated investments from more than one priority axes (or operational programmes)
Can ensure that number of priorities and resources allocated to an ITI are proportionate and reflect to the need of the territory Do not define contributing priority axes uniformly on national or regional level
Management arrangements allows simple implementation structure Preferably single management organisation (IB) responsible for implementation

Example: Member State A
Intermediarybody
Possible implementation arrangements for multi-OP ITI
• MS designate an IB for management and implementation of an ITI
• Define investment priorities of priority axes of OPs contributing to the ITI
• Agreed compliance and eligibility rules adopted by each MC of participating OPs
• Joint Monitoring Sub-Committee with relevant OPs
• Common monitoring and evaluation, progress report
• Financial management: monitoring system for the programmes provides for the identification of operations of a priority axis
• COM role in assessment of performance: progress report?
Programming – Why should cities follow the process?
Partnership Agreement sets out
Analysis of disparities, development needs, growth potentials with reference to thematic objectives and territorial challenges – Article 14(1)(a)(i) CPR
Integrated approach to territorial development – Article 14(2)(a) CPR
Arrangement to ensure an integrated approach to the use of CSF Funds for the territorial development, in particular the implementation arrangements for ITI, CLLD – Article 14(a)(ii) CPR
Programming – OP to describe Art 87(3) Integrated approach to territorial development, having regard
the PA, showing how the integrated approach contributes to the accomplishment of the programme objectives, specifying:
the principles for identifying the cities where integrated actions for SUD will be implemented
indicative annual allocation of ERDF support
including the resources delegated to cities for management under Art 7(2) ERDF [OP, ITI, multi-objective priority axes]
indicative allocation of ESF support
Approach to the use of ITI outside urban, and their indicative financial allocation from each priority axis
Implementation arrangements
ITI in ETC
• Art 10 ETC: the intermediate body to carry out the management and implementation of an ITI shall be an EGTC or other legal body established under the laws of one of the participating countries
• ITI creates the possibility to combine actions financed from different strands of ETC and mainstream programmes
• Relevant to cross-border and trans-national programmes
Relation between ITI and CLLD
Territorial strategy to be implemented through ITI can have CLLD as one component of the strategy
If within an ITI, consistency to be ensured (eg. urban strategy ITI + specific urban neighbourhood targeting through CLLD partnership approach)
Having a CLLD within ITI is not granted: CLLD should always go through the selection procedure as required in Art 29(3)–(5) CPR and described in the PA and OPs
ITI
Urban development strategy or other territorial strategy or pact
Requires an integrated approach
Involving investments from ERDF, ESF, CF, may be complemented by EAFRD, EMFF

Selection of target areas not necessarily competitive
Optional
CLLD
Sub-regional (10000 – 150000 inh. - except duly justified cases)

ERDF, ESF, EAFRD, EMFF can all support joint strategy
Strategy & implementation by local action group
Bottom-up, community-led (public, private, civil society)
MS define selection criteria, selection by responsible MA(s)
Optional (except for EAFRD)
