Discover the latest ENRD Briefings that provide orientations for an enabling policy framework to support Smart Villages, exploring opportunities under the current programming period and looking forward to the post-2020 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The documents are targeted mainly at national and regional policy-makers and implementers to help them put in place both rural and regional policies which enable rural communities to respond to the challenges they face. These four briefings focus on the following:

1. How to support Smart Villages strategies which effectively empower rural communities?
2. How can LEADER/CLLD support Smart Villages?
3. Using non-LEADER/CLLD cooperation to support Smart Villages
4. How to ensure that digital strategies benefit rural communities?

The documents are the outcome of the work of ENRD Thematic Group (TG) on Smart Villages.
