The article presents the results of the systematization of the scientific foundations for developing rural developmentstrategies. The theory, methodology and methods of solving this problem have been merged into a single whole. Grouping ofthe scientific aspects of strategies in the context of key issues of their development is given. The choice of the paradigm ofrural development is justified. In relation to the development of rural territories, the essence of the concept of “strategy” isformulated. The definition of the essence of the strategy reflects multifunctionality, goals and objectives, resource potentialand the socio-economic environment for the development of rural areas. The approaches to assessing the conditions andfactors of endogenous rural development are established. To evaluate internal and external factors, it is recommended to useSWOT analysis, for external ones - PEST analysis. The methods of goal-setting and assessment of priorities in solving theproblems of rural development are proposed. Targeting is recommended based on the decomposition of the general goal of thestrategy. The general goal is defined as the transition of rural territories from an exogenous to an endogenous path of development while increasing the competitiveness of the rural economy and increasing the quality of life of the rural population.The set of strategic goals and objectives in the strategy is proposed to be directed to the restructuring of the development ofrural areas with a focus solely on the dominance of external support to the maximum possible use of internal potential. It isrecommended that prioritization of the solution of tasks to achieve the general goal of the strategy be carried out by themethod of expert evaluations using the constructed “goal tree”. It is proposed to build the mechanism for the implementation of strategies within the framework of the paradigm of endogenous development of rural territories on the widespread use of“rural networks”. Networks in this case are considered as a hybrid form of coordination of the development of rural areaslying between the hierarchy and the market.
