2007-2013 Competitiveness Programme
ERDF funding aims to strengthen economic and social cohesion in the
European Union by supporting regional economic development. The East
Midlands is eligible for more than £190million between 2007 and 2013,
which when combined with national public match funding, provides a
programme value of approximately £380million
– a significant
investment in the economic development of the region.
East Midlands Development Agency (emda) is responsible for the programme
management and delivery of the
region’s ERDF
Competitiveness Programme. To find out more about ERDF, the
region’s strategy
for delivering the funds, how to apply for funding and how the programme is
managed, please visit the Programme website at the East Midlands ERDF link

The Programme has been developed regionally through consultation with
stakeholders and through the co-operation of Government Office for the East
Midlands, the East Midlands Development Agency (emda) and the East Midlands
Regional Assembly (EMRA).
Government Office for the East Midlands was involved in the development of
the Operational Programme (EMOP) which sets out the strategy and priorities
for investment of ERDF. All background documentation relating to the
development process can be found on the Programme website at the East
Midlands ERDF link below.
