A system of social standards for comfortable living in the countryside has been developed in Belarus

20 March 2023

In the Republic of Belarus, one of the priority areas is to reduce inter-regional differentiation. To this end, a system document – a draft concept of the state policy of regional development of Belarus has been developed in the country.

An important element of the concept is the «village of the future», which provides for higher social standards for comfortable living in the countryside – in health care, education, transportation, housing and communal services. To date, a system of social standards for comfortable living has already been developed and about 25 settlements (several in each region) have been selected where these standards will be implemented.

The reduction of interregional differentiation makes an important contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of Sustainable Development Goals 10, 11 and other SDGs.
