The dynamics of implementation of the LEADER approach and its way forward in Albania

This policy document by the Albanian Rural Network provides an overview of the dynamics and progress of the introduction and implementation of the LEADER approach as an instrument of rural development in Albania.

The approach may further spread its wings, resulting in some new LAGs, as the LEADER measure will be introduced in the Albanian IPARD III programme for 2021-2027. The paper includes also a list of existing LAGs, ready for cooperation with LAGs from EU Member States.
