This study addresses the rural development of Polandand is a part of a research evaluating the use of financialresources which are available within the framework ofEU policy and may represent important development factors.The 2007–2013 Leader approach was presented as a financialinstrument that supports change in rural areas. The purposeof this paper was to specify the amount of funds spent in specificPolish regions under axis 4 (Leader) of the 2007–2013Rural Development Program. The study relied on data of theAgency for Restructuring and Modernization of Agriculture,provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Developmentas at December 31, 2015. Polish voivodeships werefound to differ in the amount and structure of expenditure underparticular Leader measures. The regions allocated mostof the funds to the renewal and development of rural areas,while the smallest amounts were spent on designing the labormarket. The amount of expenditure was mainly determinedby the area and population of the regions and by the numberof local action groups. Other relevant factors included the activityof different actors such as municipalities, associations,entrepreneurs, residents and their traditional cooperation patternsin rural areas.Keywords: 2007–2013
