In Romania, rural development is managed at the national level through a Strategic Plan, which is financed through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and national contributions. The Strategic Plan establishes the priority strategies and measures to be adopted to address the needs of the specific geographical area covered. Rural development funding through the EAFRD falls within the general framework of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), which also include the Regional Development, Social, Cohesion, and Fisheries Funds. All these funds are managed at the national level by each EU Member State on the basis of Partnership Agreements, which are strategic plans that describe each country's objectives and investment priorities.
