The Operational Programme for Large Infrastructure (POIM) was elaborated to meet Romania’s needs for development identified in the 2014-2020 Partnership Agreement and in full compliance with the Common Strategic Framework and the Position Document of the European Commission’s services. The POIM strategy is oriented towards the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy, strongly correlated with the National Programme for Reformation and the Specific Country Recommendations, focusing on sustainable growth by promoting a low carbon consuming economy by applying energy efficiency measures and promoting green energy, as well as environmentally friendly transportation means and an efficient use of resources.
POIM finances activities in four sectors: transportation infrastructure, environmental protection, risk management and adaptation to climate change, energy and energy efficiency, thus contributing to the EU strategy for a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.
