The aim of this article is an attempt to present the Village Renewal Programme (with the example of the Opolskie Voivodeship) as an element stimulating local communities, strengthening social capital, which can be expressed by the number of projects implemented by individual rural administrative units. To achieve this aim, the reports of the rural administrative units (about 600 a year) on the implementation of the Rural Renewal Programme (in the period of 2013–2015) were analyzed. The most important conclusion that can be drawn from the conducted research is that the Rural Renewal Programme has proved to be an effective concept and method for developing rural areas, where it has been implemented so far. By the means of this undertaking it was possible to mobilize numerous rural communities with inadequate amount of funds to initiate activities, which had been reflected in the number of implemented projects.}, type={Text}, title={Aktywność sołectw wspierających rozwój społeczny w ramach Programu Odnowy Wsi w latach 2013–2015 = Activity of villages supporting social development under the Rural Renewal Programme in 2013–2015}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/76838/PDF/WA51_98826_r2018-t52_SOW-Pieczonka.pdf}, keywords={rural areas, village renewal, rural development}, }
