Abstract

This study addresses the rural development of Poland and is a part of a research evaluating the use of financial resources which are available within the framework of EU policy and may represent important development factors. The 2007–2013 Leader approach was presented as a financial instrument that supports change in rural areas. The purpose of this paper was to specify the amount of funds spent in specific Polish regions under axis 4 (Leader) of the 2007–2013 Rural Development Program. The study relied on data of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture, provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development as at December 31, 2015. Polish voivodeships were found to differ in the amount and structure of expenditure under particular Leader measures. The regions allocated most of the funds to the renewal and development of rural areas, while the smallest amounts were spent on designing the labor market. The amount of expenditure was mainly determined by the area and population of the regions and by the number of local action groups. Other relevant factors included the activity of different actors such as municipalities, associations, entrepreneurs, residents and their traditional cooperation patterns in rural areas.
