2006 m. Nr. 1.Priedas Targeting the disadvantaged: can we learn from
Latvian rural development experience?
The conclusion of a recent study of Latvian rural support programs is that these support programs have often increased economic polarization rather than reduced it. The main reason for this result is the lack of sufficient targeting in program design and implementation. Within the new financial framework in 2007–13, there are opportunities to develop new modalities for and approaches to rural development that will enhance economic convergence and reduce income disparities in rural areas. This paper draws upon the experience of Latvia with support programs, including SAPARD and rural development measures in the SPD and RDP frameworks, and suggests means to limit the further polarization of economic status and welfare of rural inhabitants. The suggested modalities include both the territorially differentiated approach and differentiated support policy implementation for different social groups of entrepreneurs. The design and implementation strategies include increased participatory consultation with rural inhabitants and increased cooperation among different rural society groups so as to diminish the influence of any one group in the decision-making process.
