ARMA – Atlantic Region Managing Authorities is a network led by the Interreg Atlantic Area, aimed to reinforce cooperation among European programmes across the Atlantic Region, gathered to implement the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) successfully. The network intends to play a vital role in promoting synergies for sustainable social and economic growth in the Atlantic basin. The emergence of the network resulted from a joint effort with DG Regio, and the programme Interact is actively involved.
ARMA Network unites Interreg and Regional Programmes, working collectively to assist knowledge exchange and align efforts towards common goals. Acting as a facilitator, the network promotes collaboration among these programs and strengthens their strategic integration for the benefit of the Atlantic Region. This cooperation involves European regions and Managing Authorities from the Atlantic, including those associated with the Investment for Jobs and Growth Goal (IJG) programs.
