Don’t miss out on this toolkit launched by the Commission to enhance rural development! This toolkit, presented in February 2024, provides opportunities, information, and other resources relevant for the development of rural areas across the EU.

Europe is undergoing a major demographic transformation. This shift requires holistic and integrated solutions. These solutions should be tailored to the different regions across the EU. Furthermore, the solutions include the rural communities affected by this demographic transformation.
To enhance the opportunities of these rural communities, the European Commission has launched the Rural toolkit. This toolkit is a unique entry point to all existing initiatives and funding opportunities for rural areas within the EU.
The Rural toolkit serves as a comprehensive guide for local authorities, institutions, businesses, and individuals. It offers invaluable insights into EU funding and support opportunities, aiming to catalyse growth and development in rural areas.
In addition, the toolkit provides essential knowledge and resources. This toolkit empowers regions to foster sustainable progress and harness rural resilience. It includes three distinct browsers tailored to users’ specific interests:
- Funding finder: This browser provides information on grants, subsidies, and programmes that support rural development and revitalisation.
- Get inspired: Here, users can explore practical examples, case studies, inspiring stories, and effective interventions successfully implemented in various rural contexts within the EU.
- Resources: This third browser houses valuable resources such as documents, reports, and manuals, offering practical guidance and knowledge.
This toolkit is part of the European Commission’s long-term vision for stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas.
