A large part of the rural population is not currently employed in the agriculture. In addition, as a result of investments, labour productivity in the agricultural sector is increasing. Therefore, entrepreneurship of rural population is an important issue, which leads to the development of non-agricultural sectors of the economy in rural areas, reducing thereby the negative effects of limited mobility. The role of the development of non-agricultural activities in the rural areas as well as existing barriers and drivers of this development have caused that the issue has become a subject of interest, and also the influence of different policies. Therefore, the main objective of the research conducted in 2011-2014 was to assess the efficiency of selected instruments of entrepreneurship development in the rural areas, using a multi-criteria approach. The study of policy efficiency involved descriptive and comparative analysis of the state and changes of private and micro-enterprise number in rural counties’ as well as the simple regression analysis, utilized for the assessment of the impact of financial support scale on the county budget revenues and creation of new businesses and jobs. The above analyses use the data from Central Statistical Office (CSO) Local Data Bank for 2004-2013 for 1,529 rural counties. The structural and regional policies, focusing on the use of financial instruments, generally have no positive impact on reducing inequalities in local development. But, this does not mean the absence of the process of reaching the state of long-term equilibrium by counties with lower levels of development.
