Thematic Focus

The aim of the workshop was to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of experiences from across the Member States. This workshop brought together NRNs, Managing Authorities, and evaluators in order to:

• contribute to shaping a common understanding of the added value of LEADER/CLLD and its links with the LEADER/CLLD delivery mechanism and LEADER method;
• provide a forum for the exchange of experiences between Member States and to discuss challenges related to assessing LEADER/CLLD added value; 
• develop practical recommendations on possible evaluation approaches that can show the added value of LEADER/CLLD.
