8th Rural Networks’ LEADER/CLLD Sub-group Meeting

Online

The eighth meeting of the European Rural Networks' Assembly's permanent Sub-group on LEADER/CLLD provided an update on Commission initiatives relating to LEADER. Local Action Groups, LEADER and rural networks presented an overview on recent LEADER activities, responses to the COVID-19 situation, and how lessons from these can be used in planning for LEADER in the next period.

A separate ENRD mini-workshop in the afternoon offered Sub-group members the opportunity to discuss key success factors in improving LEADER delivery to ensure resilient rural territories.
