The Just Transition Programme (JTP) responds to the investment needs defined in the Territorial Plans for a Just Transition (PTTJ), drawn up for the counties of Gorj, Hunedoara, Dolj, Galati, Prahova and Mures, territories identified in Annex D of the 2020 Country Report, for support from the Just Transition Fund for the period 2021 - 2027.
This initiative is supporting actions on the development of productive investments in SMEs for mitigating the socio-economic impact of the transition to climate neutrality in the counties of Gorj, Hunedoara, Dolj, Galați, Prahova and Mures.
The main objective of the initiative is to support environmentally sustainable economic diversification, in particular of the small and medium-sized productive entrepreneurial sector, including female entrepreneurship, in order to increase the competitiveness and capacity of affected local economies to generate sustainable, secure and attractive wage employment.
The Just Transition Program has a total allocation of €2.53bn of which approximately €2.13bn is European Union co-financing and the remaining €391m is the national contribution. The funds are allocated for seven priorities for each of the six counties - Gorj, Hunedoara, Dolj, Galati, Prahova and Mures - and one for the technical assistance.
The institution coordinating the program is the Ministry of Investments and European Projects, through the Management Authority for the Just Transition Program (AM PTJ) and five Intermediate Bodies set up at the level of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) West, South West, Centre, South Muntenia and South East.
No information is now available as the first call for this initiative will be launched in December 2023.
