| Abstract: | This study appraises the impact of Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) on regional socio-economic development in Europe to derive implications and conclusions for the case of Gozo. A mixed methodology is utilised combining regression analysis, surveys with European RDAs and a case study on the Gozo Regional Development Authority (GRDA). This study concludes that the GRDA is a step forward in the right direction towards enhancing Gozo’s socio-economic development through place-based policies. The degree of success can be enhanced if the GRDA is granted implementation powers and capabilities, and if it focuses more effectively on innovation in all areas of its activities. |
