Sustainable Growth in Värmland is the Regional Growth Programme (RGP) for Värmland. The programme is valid from 2004 to 2007.
The initiative to create a regional growth plan for each county came from the government, which has also drawn up general guidelines for the project. The initiative is, in turn, based on the Swedish Parliament's document on new regional development policies
The point of departure for our work in Värmland has been the realisation that we have major challenges ahead of us and need to make the best of our present situation and the
assets we have in the county. If we succeed, then Värmland will make a positive contribution to the overall situation in Sweden. A prerequisite for success is that additional investment be made in the form of infrastructure and other basic resources required for growth, such as Karlstad University.
The regional growth programme covers a broad area and is a strategic document presenting what in our view are important pre-requisites for “Sustainable Growth in Värmland”.
The programme is broader than other programmes, such as the EU Structural fund programmes and is an umbrella under which most our efforts are collected.
