Project Partners

Partner organisations & activities

Here you will find a brief description of the main partners in the official and funded project. You will also see which solutions each partner contributed with and the activities that was held during the period of the initial project (2018-2020).

LAGs - Local Action Groups

A Local Action Group (LAG) is a non profit-making composition made up of public and private organisations from rural villages having a broad representation from different socio-economic sectors.

short description of
​LAG & leader
Through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD), LAGs can apply for financial assistance in the form of grants to implement the Local Development Strategy of their respective territory.

​The main objective of the local development strategies is to deliver support to their respective rural areas especially through the implementation of small-scale projects.

Through this approach, LAGs can target better the particular needs and priorities of their territory since they are part of the territory itself.
Here are the LAGs involved in the initial project:
