Organised by the Rural Pact Support Office, this event will explore measures that can be taken to efficiently implement the rural proofing mechanism at EU, national, and regional levels. It will enable peer exchange and reflection and develop proposals and recommendations for policymakers.
Objectives
- Improve understanding of the rationale, methods and challenges of applying rural proofing across policies at national and regional levels;
- Enable peer exchange and reflection on improving rural proofing mechanisms, including effective collection and use of statistics and data;
- Develop proposals and recommendations for policymakers and identify the support and capacity building needed to put them in place.
The event is mainly targeted at policymakers at national and regional levels in charge of designing, implementing and monitoring policies having an impact on rural areas, as well as rural stakeholders involved in advocacy and representing rural communities.
