Optimising the Potential of Local Assets for Rural Development of Keda Municipality
Project Description
This project is part of the EU’s ENPARD programme supporting agriculture and rural development. It establishes a Local Action group to drive local decision making, empowering citizens and promoting local action based on the EU LEADER approach. It diversifies local economic activities, fosters investment and empowers competitive agricultural and environmental practices in Keda Municipality. It uses bottom-up strategic planning of rural development to increase potential of Keda Municipality and make optimal use of local resources.
The project supports creation and capacity-building of Keda Local Action Group (LAG), guides the process of participatory development of gender- and youth-sensitive Keda Rural Development Strategy (RDS), helps with implementation of innovative projects to foster economic and investment opportunities, inclusive rural growth, and most importantly, improve well-being of rural communities.
