Abstract: Poverty was and is still present in all societies and in all times. The distribution of poverty between rural and urban has always highlighted large differences in the incidence of poverty, which have affected a large part of the population, especially in rural area. It is well known that rural poverty is high, and the reduction of poverty in rural areas still represents a major challenge for national and local strategies and action plans in the field. Although many studies have been carried out regarding poverty and rural poverty in the specialized literature, showing the high incidence especially in the Romanian rural area, the challenge exposed in the present paper focuses on the identification of those Romanian rural localities that have succeeded to reach low rates of poverty and to become good examples for both other rural and urban localities that are currently facing high incidences of poverty.
