The CAP 2023-2027 addresses challenges faced by rural areas through:

  • Funding for rural development projects that enhance infrastructure, services, and quality of life in rural communities.
  • Support for diversification of rural economies, including tourism, local food production, and crafts.
  • Investments in digital connectivity and smart villages to bridge the urban-rural digital divide.
  • Encouraging community-led local development (CLLD) to empower rural populations to take charge of their development.
