Summary/Abstract: The character of the territorial self-government units activity in Poland and realization of their constitutional goals (own or delegated) is the driver which forces them to undertake investment activities and to make particular expenditures (financial or material). The self – governmental activity and expenditure on investment should, by definition, be aimed at development of the communal infrastructure which will ensure good standard of living for the local population. Equally, the development will contribute into achieving additional economic, social and environmental goals. The issues related to the financial aspect of the self-governmental investment activity in Poland are the subject of this paper. In particular, the major objective of the author is to analyse the existing financial conditions for investment made by the territorial self-government in Poland and to assess attractiveness of investment financing through intersectional co-operation within public-private partnership. The realization of the objective of the paper has been based on the methods of comparative or descriptive analyses and on the method of descriptive statistics.
