A two-day European CLLD seminar came up with recommendations to improve local strategy delivery and implementation for the best possible use of the Community-Led Local Development (CLLD) method across the four eligible European Structural and Investment Funds.
Participants at the seminar - held in Båstad (Sweden), 7-8 December - discussed and voted on the most relevant and practicable improvements around: 1) local partnership and governance; 2) financing, delivering and reporting; and 3) working with local assets. A highlights summary will follow shortly. See selected content from the online debate.
A related event on ‘Renewing LEADER/CLLD for 2020+’ was organised by the European LEADER association for Rural Development (ELARD) on 22-23 November in Estonia. It called for a renewed LEADER/CLLD framework in the 2021-2027 programming period.
