Presidency of the Council of Ministers
Heir to a strong tradition of 27 years of the Regional
Development Policy and Cohesion in Portugal, the
Financial Institute for Regional Development, IP was
created May 1, 2007.
From a valuable asset, the human resources deep
knowledge of the former Directorate General of
Regional Development and of a number of mission
structures of the III Community Support Framework
and the Cohesion Fund, it is our ambition to boost, all
the time, a modernized and creative public service,
that becomes a reference in the Portuguese Public
Administration and among the European institutions.
It has been externally recognized that Portugal has
one of the EU funds management systems more
reliable in Europe, thanks to its quality service,
a dedication sparing no efforts and an efficient
management of human and material resources at
our disposal.
From the beginning, our activity has been oriented
for the development of Portugal, seeking thereby
the maximum satisfaction of our stakeholders and
partners, Portuguese and European, and therefore
necessarily ambitious standards of efficiency and
effectiveness, a path that IFDR will continue to seek.
The Presentation Dossier is our business card that
we invite you to read to know us better.
Similarly, is the commitment of IFDR to the enormous
challenges that always inquired match.
