Europe entrusts local actors, grouped together in a Local Action Group (LAG), with an envelope aimed at co-financing public or private projects that promote the development of rural areas. This partnership of public and private actors, called Local Action Group (LAG), implements a local development strategy. The originality of the approach is based on the strong involvement of local actors, and on innovative projects relating to both animation and regional development. The LAG is responsible for developing and implementing the strategy defined in the given territory.
The LAG is the local interlocutor of project leaders : It provides technical and administrative support.
The potential beneficiaries of this program are the promoters of private projects (entrepreneurs, associations, groups, etc.) or publics (municipalities, community of municipalities, associated organizations).
