Management of Rural Development

Rural Development in Romania is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The National Strategic Plan (NSP) provides the strategic framework for the implementation of a single National Rural Development Programme (RDP) for 2007-2013 which has been designed to take account of regional differences and needs.

Summary of rural development policy objectives

The RDP is coherent with the three main goals of the National Strategic Plan, namely:

• To improve the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sector;
• To maintain and enhance the quality of the environment and rural areas through the sustainable use of agricultural and forestry land;
• To enhance the quality of life in rural areas and diversification of the rural economy.
