  1. Brussels 2012 Report on ENRD Event 27-28 April 2012 Local Development Strategies Lorna, David and Chris

  2. Purpose • Exchange info on improving the quality of LDS’s • Encouraging co-operation as a key LDS component • Encouraging a new wave of co-operation projects

  3. General messages • LEADER is a benchmark model • Success shouldn’t be measured by spend- but how do we measure value? • LAG’s are a tool in local development, not an objective • Transnational projects expand LEADER and develop LAGs • Do LAGs want to take on any extra funding & responsibility ?

  4. Key messages • The Commission will define the roles for implementation at LAG, MA and paying agency level • Building capacity of local actors is central – clearer definition of ‘bottom-up’ • Transparent selection processes v important • Clearer linkages between LDS and projects • More technical LAG set up guidance-training will become a more important element at LAG and staff level

  5. Key messages[2] • Start development of LDS asap – process can take 6-12 months to do it properly! • Build in strategic review at outset • Be customer focused – difficult for customer to understand complexities • Clearer definition of running costs and animation requirements

  6. Key messages[3] • Strategies should be developed and funding requirements added later • Will LAG’s need to become legal entities such as Development Trusts? E.g. SECAD Multi-fund Platform.

  7. Dangers! • LEADER becomes institutionalised • Restrictions prevent innovative and successful projects being developed • Project animation becomes separated from payments • Will the multi-fund approach kill the key LEADER principles or be a saviour?
