The rural development policy of Turkey is deeply influenced by the negotiations on the EU membership process. As a result of these negotiations, the Agriculture and Rural Development Support Institution (ARDSI) was founded in 2007 in the pre-accession period to harmonize with the EU legislation and to establish the necessary administrative and institutional infrastructure for the implementation of the harmonized legislation. With its IPARD (IPARD I and IPARD II) programs ARDSI has contributed greatly to rural development through fulfilling the duty of using the EU funds efficiently.
