Regional development is a complex and dynamic process, and the role of institutions is fundamental for it to occur in a sustainable manner. Thus, this article seeks to analyze the role of the Regional Development Agency of Southwest Paraná in relation to regional development under the scope of an institutional arrangement. To this end, the bibliographic method and secondary data were used. The main results show that the region where ADR operates is relevant and has improved its indicators over the years in relation to the state average. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the agency has a solid and organized institutional arrangement in favor of regional development. However, there is still no clear way to differentiate or evaluate the effective role of this institutional arrangement in the development of that region, due to the lack of mechanisms for monitoring actions that originate exclusively through the articulation of ADR with the respective network of actors. In this sense, it is important to highlight that the lack of a methodology that monitors the cycle of actions actually carried out by the institutional network may be a factor that contributes to the weakening of this institutional arrangement in the regional development process.
