Why ITI for sustainable territorial development?
• Thematic objectives – linked to Europe 2020
• Priority axes: correspond to one or more investment priorities of a thematic objective
• Need for addressing territorial challenges
• ITI: Flexible tool to implement integrated territorial strategies
• Optional, with the exception of sustainable urban development (5% of ERDF national allocation)
Article 7 ERDF, Article 99 CPR
ITI – how does it work? Bundle funding from different priority axes and programmes (ERDF,
ESF, CF, not EFARD), including ETC and Jobs and growth
For implementing integrated territorial/urban development strategy
For a functional area at the appropriate territorial scale e.g. at the level of neighbourhoods, cities, city-regions,
metropolitan areas, rural areas, functional areas
Possible delegation of the management to one or more intermediate bodies, (compulsory to delegate for cities in case of 5% for sustainable urban development)
Decision on package of operations for integrated strategy – predictability for implementation

ITI is not CLLD
Greater territorial coverage
Greater resources
Top-down, with the possibility of participation and involvement
Selection of the areas are not necessarily competitive
Key responsibility lies in the public sector
When to use ITI? There is an integrated territorial strategy to underpin
investments
The implementation of the territorial strategy requires integrated investments from more than one priority axis (or operational programme) in a coordinated manner – both in terms of time and intervention logic between different actions
Can ensure that the number of priorities and resources allocated to an ITI are proportionate and reflect to the need of the city
Management arrangements allows single implementation structure
How to prepare for an ITI?
1. Follow the reinforced strategic and integrated programming (Be there, be informed, be involved)
• Partnership Contracts – integrated approach to territorial dev’t:
Coordination mechanisms between CSF funds on national and regional level The arrangements to ensure an integrated approach for the territorial
development (in particular with reference to CLLD, ITI) An integrated approach to address the specific needs of geographical areas
most affected by poverty or of target groups at highest risk of discrimination or exclusion, with special regard to marginalised communities
• Operational Programme The way OP contributes to the integrated territorial approach defined in PC Principles on the use of ITI (type of territories and problems targeted) with
indicative Contribution to macro-regional and sea-basin strategies (where appropriate)
Article 11, 14, 87 CPR (recital 9, 14, 15, 21, 65) Article 7 ETC
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
