The article concerns own contribution of local government units involved in the Regional Operational Programmes. The aim of the research is to assess the amount of own funds in the projects implemented under the ROP. The article analyses the secondary data obtained from the Local Data Bank, the data from the programme documents and available literature. As the study has shown, no significant differences were found in the disbursement of funds in different years. However, in the perspective 2014-2020, the amount of local governance units contribution is higher. The regional distribution of the local government units resources in the particular regional programmes is strongly related to the total amount of the entire programme, but there is a noticeable variation between the perspectives. Still, local governance units own resources outweigh the national contribution.
