A large number of past and ongoing projects, policies, tools and methodologies can inspire other actions to contribute to rural revitalisation and the objectives of the Rural Pact. Such examples can help mobilise, encourage, or build the capacity of policymakers and local actors by promoting innovative ways of dealing with rural challenges.
