Summary/Abstract: The Encs district is one of the most underprivileged rural areas not only in Hungarian but even in European terms, which can be characterised by a very scattered settlement system, remoteness from the centres, poor infrastructure and human resources, low living standard and extreme level of unemployment. The district is targeted by significant amounts of aids, programmes supporting local authorities, enterprises and civil society organizations, however the backwardness does not seem to decrease over time neither in the field of the close-up of the whole district itself nor in case of the inner development gap (between the underprivileged Cserehát hills and the Hernád Valley with relatively more favourable position). Authors seek the answers to the question whether there are any mismatches between local needs and the central initiatives from the New Hungary Development Plan/New Széchenyi Plan and Leader Program in the period of 2007 and 2014.
