History

CPMA was established in 2003 by merging two organisations - the Central Financing and Contracting Unit (CFCU) which was established in early 1998 and Housing and Urban Development Fund (HUDF) established in 1996. The CFCU was responsible for the implementation of projects financed by EU PHARE/ ISPA programmes in the role of the Contracting Authority and HUDF was implementing programmes financed by International Financing Institutions (IFIs) such as financed from World Bank, NIB, EIB, EBRD etc.

The European Commission provided for CPMA Extended Decentralised Implementation System (EDIS) accreditation on 30 of July 2004. Having EDIS mandate the CPMA is involved in implementation of other EU financing instruments (Structural funds) and special programmes (Schengen Facility, Kaliningrad transit, Ignalina Programme etc.).
