- 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.
