Rural Development Programmes 014-00: Key facts & figures FOCUS AREA 6B: Fostering local development 1. Introduction Focus Area (FA) 6B is designed to foster local development in rural areas. Two measures play a dominant role in this focus area: LEADER (M19) Basic services and village renewal These are complemented by a small number of other measures, which are much less important in size, such as support for Cooperation and Areas with Natural Constraints. The targets are the creation of 44 500 jobs through the supported projects, to cover 54% of the rural population with Local Development Strategies (LDS), and to benefit 3 % of the rural population with improved services.

4. Intervention logic at EU level In 014-00, measures within Rural Development Programmes can contribute to several Priorities and Focus Areas in a flexible manner. The following charts provide an indication of the most commonly used measures to address, as well as an indication of the number of RDPs in which these measures are selected.

Additional information Rural Development Regulation 014-00 Regulation (EU) Nº 1305/013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) [PDF ] RDP Summaries Developed by the ENRD, these summarise the relevant information of all the RDPs approved [here] Priority Summary Developed by the ENRD, these summarise the relevant information of all Priorities [here] Source of information: All data presented in this summary comes from the European Commission-approved 014-00 Rural Development Programmes (118 RDPs in total). In this fiche, public expenditure means total public expenditure (= EAFRD + Member States matching funds + any national top-ups). Due to rounding, there may be small discrepancies between some figures presented. Data includes programme modifications until March 016. Out of the 118 Rural Development Programmes only the 11 national and regional Programmes have been considered because National Frameworks and National Rural Network Programmes do not allocate budget on Measures. Please note that data and calculations provided do not include M0 (Technical Assistance), or M18 (Complementary payments to Croatia).
