RDP Campania

Rural development is the “second pillar” of the Common Agricultural Policy (PAC), which strengthens the “first pillar” of income support and market measures by fostering the social, environmental and economic sustainability of rural areas.

EU countries implement EAFRD funding through rural development programmes (RDPs). RDPs are co-financed by national budgets and can be prepared on a national or regional basis. While the European Commission approves and supervises RDPs, decisions on the selection of projects and the granting of payments are taken by managing authorities at national or regional level.

For the 2023-2027 programming period, the Rural Development Policy is combined with the other instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in a single National Strategic Plan for the CAP 2023-2027 (PSP), drawn up by each Member State of the European Union (EU) and approved by the European Commission.

The PSP establishes that it is the Regions that plan and manage rural development interventions, integrating the variations of the ‘regional specifications’ into the PSP’s rural development interventions. These specificities are detailed in the Regional Complements for Rural Development (CSR) 2023-2027, which represent the regional implementation documents of the national strategy.

CSR Campania is divided into Types of Intervention, Interventions and Actions. Within this framework, two categories of interventions can be distinguished:

  • Surface and/or head interventions which relate to payments and allowances granted on the basis of areas, crops grown and/or the number of animals reared;
  • Non-area and/or head interventions These relate to the implementation of tangible and intangible investment projects, training, information, advice and cooperation measures and the granting of flat-rate aid not based on the area and/or number of animals reared.

The financial envelope of the CSR Campania 23-27 is EUR 1,263 million, of which EUR 580.5 million is from the EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development).
