Contact Point

The ENRD Contact Point (CP) supports the operation of the European Network for Rural Development (ENRD). It coordinates thematic and analytic work, facilitates networking and exchange, and communicates the work and voices of the network. Its activities are complemented by those of the European Evaluation Helpdesk for Rural Development.
