Pētījumā izmantoti Ministru kabineta ziņojumi, Finanšu ministrijas un Centrālās statistikas pārvaldes materiāli, kā arī autores personīgā pieredze attiecīgajā jomā. Pētījums veikts, izmantojot loǴiski konstruktīvo metodi, statistikas analīzi, datu un ekonomisko procesu salīdzināšanas metodi, vēsturisko pieeju. Veiktā analīze rāda, ka 2004. - 2006.gada plānošanas periodā ir bijusi augsta ES fondu kvantitatīvās apguves efektivitāte. Savukārt līdz 2007.gadam ES fondu projektu ietekme bija pozitīva, bet nav pietiekami efektīvi ietekmējusi ekonomisko izaugsmi un nodrošinājuši tās ilgtspējīgumu. Rakstā autore pierāda, ka jaunajā plānošanas periodā nepieciešams pavērsiens projektu ieviešanas attīstībā, atbalsta programmas jāsabalansē ar attīstības vajadzībām un ekonomisko situāciju valstī, nepieciešams vienkāršot projektu ieviešanas procedūras, kā arī uzlabot konkrētu atbalsta programmu saturu.
