The article specifies that the problems of managing the development of rural territories of limited potential for socio-economic growth at the current stage cannot be called sufficiently developed either from the point of view of economic and social efficiency or from the point of view of budgetary efficiency. The authors analyze the possible ways to overcome the problems of managing the integrated development of rural areas with limited potential for socio-economic growth. During the process of implementing the development strategies of the subregional territories of the Voronezh region till 2035, regular monitoring and control of the degree of implementation of the planned action program and achievement of the planned targets should be provided. If necessary, the program of action should be adjusted based on data from participants in the implementation of the strategy. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure maximum transparency of the monitoring data on the intermediate results of the strategy implementation for the population and the expert community, which will contribute to expanding the possibilities of direct public control and citizen participation in the implementation of the strategy.
