Summary/Abstract: Regional development agencies are a type of multi-sector partnership that has become popular in the second half of the twentieth century. Slovakia was inspired by this type of partnership in the 1990´s when the legal regulation of these agencies was established in Slovak legislation. The paper focuses analytically on regional development agencies from the legal aspect, the aspect of their number and geographical distribution and the financial support allocated to their activities. The methodology of the paper is supplemented by the analysis of time series using GIS tools. The achieved results point to reduced support for regional development agencies and more difficult conditions for functioning in Slovakia.
