Share your rural development success: Take the rural toolkit survey

As part of the implementation of its Long Term Vision for Rural Areas (LTVRA), the European Commission is preparing a Rural Toolkit on EU funds to be launched in late 2023. This toolkit will guide local authorities and stakeholders in rural areas in identifying and making an effective use of the many EU funding opportunities available in the EU panorama, including using EU funds jointly.

In this process, the Commission is looking for examples where EU Funds/Initiatives/Financial instruments have been effectively used in combination to finance a project with a focus on rural development beyond agriculture and farming. To do so, you are invited  to fill in and share among your network this SURVEY, by the 8th of September.

This survey is specifically designed for rural local authorities and rural stakeholders with experience in the use of multiple EU funds and instruments to support rural revitalisation, retaining and attracting talents in rural areas, increasing services provision and boosting local development in rural areas.

This is a unique opportunity for you to be at the forefront of rural revitalisation efforts. Your success stories will not only gain recognition but will also serve as a source of inspiration for other communities facing similar challenges. The Commission counts on you!
