Abstract

The study on funding for EU rural areas examines the contribution of the CAP 2014-2022 in addressing the needs and actions outlined under the Long-term vision for the EU’s rural areas (LTVRA). It explores the specific role of the common agricultural policy (CAP) 2014-2022 alongside that of other EU funds targeting rural areas in the 2014-2020 cohesion policy period, primarily ERDF/CF, ESF and EMFF. Moreover, this study provides a forward-looking glance at the CAP 2023-2027 period. The study principally covers the relevance and coherence of funding in addressing rural needs, and draws on studies published of effectiveness to provide key context for this assessment. This is achieved through the responses to seven evaluation study questions (ESQ) covering three evaluation criteria: effectiveness, relevance, and coherence. The European Commission launched the LTVRA in June 2021, aiming to address the challenges faced by rural areas and seize opportunities from which they can benefit. It proposes two main routes to reach the vision’s shared goals: the EU Rural Action Plan (COM(2021) 345 final), a set of actions undertaken by European Commission services, and the Rural Pact, a framework to enable and inspire other levels of governance and stakeholders to cooperate and mobilise to achieve the vision’s goals. The LTVRA was adopted in June 2021; however, many of its identified needs and actions were already anchored in the goals of the CAP 2014-2022.
