Support for Rural Development is the so-called 2nd Pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy, providing Member States with an envelope of EU funding to manage nationally or regionally under multi-annual co-funded programmes. In total, 118 programmes are foreseen in all 28 Member States, financed by € 99.6 billion of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) over the 2014-2020 period.
