European Union Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance
RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (IPARD)
(2014-2020) What is IPARD?
IPARD, Instrument for Pre-Accesion Assistance Rural Development Programme, aims to support the policy development of adaptation preparations and coverage for the implementation and management of the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy, Rural Development Policy and related policies. Which provinces will benefit?
In order to ensure a smooth transition from the 2007-2013 program, the 2014-2020 program was implemented in 42 provinces (Afyonkarahisar, Ağrı, Aksaray, Amasya, Ankara, Ardahan, Aydın, Balıkesir, Burdur, Bursa, Çanakkale, Çankırı, Çorum, Denizli, Diyarbakir, Elazig, Erzincan, Erzurum, Giresun, Hatay, Isparta, Kahramanmaras, Karaman, Kars, Kastamonu, Konya, Kütahya, Malatya, Manisa, Mardin, Mersin, Samsun, Sivas, Sanliurfa, Tokat, Trabzon, Usak, Van and Yozgat).
Since the National Rural Development Strategy foresees the participation of the entire 81 provinces of the IPARD Program, it may come into question that the scope of the IPARD 2014-2020 program may be extended to all of them, taking into account the budget, funding trends and cost / profit analysis and management costs.
