Abstract

Currently, the theoretical and methodological foundations of partnership as a tool for ensuring economic development remain little studied and require a detailed analysis of the existing experience, both domestic and foreign, as well as the development of universal models to ensure the effective practical implementation of partnerships at the tactical and strategic levels. It is proved that the development of rural entrepreneurship is an important aspect of the revival of rural areas in Ukraine and at the same time an important sector of the economy that plays a special role in creating competitive products, as it is the basis for further expansion of production and improvement of the well-being of the rural population. The article reveals the content and essence of the concept of partnership as the main tool for ensuring the economic development of entrepreneurship, the study of the key principles of the formation of this form of interaction. The authors proposed a scheme of key elements of planning the mechanism of economic development of entrepreneurship in the countryside, including common features of government, community, business and scientific component, which, when interacting, provide the result that manifests itself in supporting business, attracting external resources and strategic investments, as well as creating a favorable image of rural areas. The main motives of entrepreneurial activity in the countryside, which indicate the prospects for the development of rural areas, are identified. The components of partnerships in the direction of economic development of entrepreneurship in the countryside, which include consideration of socio-economic, natural, energy and administrative resources of rural areas, are investigated, this interaction allows to obtain efficiency: economic, social and environmental. The article proposes a model of economic self-sufficiency of an agrarian enterprise in rural areas, which shows the closed cyclical nature of economic development, using the example of an ECO-farm, which includes state support at all levels, new jobs, green tourism, processing and implementation, as well as social responsibility. The prerequisites for the partnership on the example of farmers, characterized by interaction (availability of common yards, purchase of fertilizers, rental of equipment, sowing campaign, supply of raw materials for the production of biofuels) and common features (processing of raw materials, sale of finished products in domestic and foreign markets) are revealed. Therefore, it was grounded that the prospects for the economic development of entrepreneurship in the countryside will directly depend on the established partnership.
