At first, agriculture and farmers were the main recipients of this stream of money. However, since 2007 an ever larger part of the funds has been going to the development of rural areas, which is to be accomplished in accordance with a new model – different than modernization. Besides financial means, an extremely important role is accorded in this model to human, cultural and social resources. Since in the light of various analyses there is a shortage of the latter resources in the rural areas the author wonders whether in this situation the substantial economic means which are destined for the rural community and which create opportunities for far-reaching changes, have a chance to be used in an optimal way and enhance the role of the rural community’s social capital or whether it is more probable that a part of these means will not be utilized. The empirical basis of the author’s considerations are the relations between social capital and the Second scheme of the Leader+ Programme, and the area under her observation is the “rural” part of the Łódzkie voivodeship.}, title={Rural Community's Own Resources and External Development Programmes.
