There have been many changes in the framework of general grant for local-self government in Poland since 01.01.2004. The amount of general grant consists of three parts: the equalizing, the balancing and the educational part for gminas and poviats, and the equalizing, the regional and educational part for voivodcships. The new solutions have been appeared in this framework: - enlargement of the equalization mechanism to protect the economically weaker selfgovernments, - widening the horizontal distribution elements, - the connection between the mechanism of the granting and macro-economical indicators like GNP, the level of unemployment.
